Parts-in-Place originated from the challenges faced by Emcraft Systems, where Nick is a co-founder and Director of Marketing. Since 2008, Nick has been involved in designing and building electronic products with contract manufacturers. At Emcraft, the team was purchasing parts and consigning them to CMs, who would then assemble the electronic boards.
Managing the products’ BOMs and inventory of components had been a significant challenge for Emcraft. Reconciling a new engineer-provided BOM against the company-wide “Master BOM” (parts library) or determining which parts in what quantities needed to be ordered for an upcoming build, given the current inventory levels, would take hours.
The team at Emcraft has tried using a general-purpose ERP system, but it brought its own set of issues. Ultimately, most of the work was still done semi-manually using MS Excel spreadsheets, which was both time-consuming and error-prone.

In 2012, Nick teamed up with longtime friend and former collegue Yury to build a system for managing electronic products’ BOMs and parts inventory, something that would be easy and convenient for Emcraft to use. Soon Parts-in-Place came to be. The team shared an early version with several colleagues in other companies, and many found it highly convenient.
Since then, many small and medium-sized businesses have adopted Parts-in-Place, finding it invaluable for managing their BOMs and inventory. So, if you build electronic products and the pain of managing BOMs and inventory is familiar to you, give Parts-in-Place a try.
