Innovators Parts

Powered by FRCTools

A parts ordering and tracking app for FRC teams. Parts are grouped into per-vendor purchase orders and tracked from "to order" through "ordered" to "arrived".

Credits

Innovators Parts is a fork of FRCTools Orders by Graham Howard, with a contribution from Th3F4nd1t. Graham wrote the original application — the order board, organizations, tags, the Onshape BOM import, and the vendor product lookup this build still stands on. It remains MIT licensed, and the original copyright is retained in LICENSE.

This fork has since diverged enough that its changes aren't intended to go back upstream. Thanks to Graham for the foundation, and for making it open source in the first place.

• 🔎 Vendor lookup — paste a product link and get name, price and part number
• 🛒 Cart handoff — hand a whole order to the vendor's own cart in one click
• 🧾 Receipts — attach invoices and packing slips to an order, kept with the order itself
• 📥 BOM import — bring a Bill of Materials straight in from Onshape
