What Is Partsemble?

Partsemble is assembly management software for small manufacturers. It connects to your accounting system, tracks your products and inventory, manages bills of materials, and handles build execution — so you can stop running your production on spreadsheets.

Who Is Partsemble For?

Partsemble is built for small manufacturing businesses with 1–20 employees and revenue between $100K and $10M. If you assemble, mix, kit, or manufacture products from components, Partsemble is designed for your workflow.

Common industries include metal fabrication, hardware manufacturing, electronics assembly, cabinet and millwork shops, food and beverage production, and health and beauty products. If you have a bill of materials and need to track what goes into your finished goods, you're in the right place.

What Does Partsemble Do?

Products and inventory tracking. Define your raw materials, components, sub-assemblies, and finished goods. Track stock quantities and costs. Set reorder points so you know when to restock.

Bills of materials (BOMs). Create recipes that define exactly what goes into each product — components, quantities, optional items, and overhead costs. Version your BOMs as your processes change.

Build execution. Plan builds in advance or execute them on the spot. Partsemble consumes component inventory, produces finished goods, calculates costs, and exports the transactions to your accounting system automatically.

Quality assurance. Optionally require QA review before completed builds are added to inventory. Track rejection reasons and recovery modes when things don't go right.

Receiving and lot tracking. Record incoming inventory with lot numbers, track costs per receipt, and consume lots automatically using FIFO when you build. Available on the Advanced plan.

Sales tracking and margins. Sync sales from your accounting system to see how finished goods move out the door. Track margins per product and per sale. Available on the Advanced plan.

Accounting integration. Connect QuickBooks Online (with more providers coming) to sync items, export build transactions, and keep your books accurate without manual journal entries.

How Is It Different From Spreadsheets?

Spreadsheets break when your business grows. They can't automatically deduct components when you complete a build, version your BOMs when a recipe changes, or warn you when stock is running low. They definitely can't export transactions to your accounting system.

Partsemble replaces the spreadsheet with a purpose-built tool that handles the math, the inventory movements, and the accounting — while staying simple enough that you don't need an IT department to run it.

How Is It Different From Enterprise MRP?

Enterprise MRP systems are powerful but complex. They're designed for larger operations with dedicated operations teams, and they're priced accordingly — often $179 to $800+ per month.

Partsemble focuses on the core workflows that small manufacturers actually need, at a price point ($29–$99/month) that makes sense for a small business. You can be up and running in 15 minutes, not 15 weeks.
