BOMfire
🛺 Try it with an online demo.
Have you ever wondered if you had enough parts to make your cool widget? Or maybe 42 of them? Or did you use the last 150K resistor last week?
You need to manage your Bill of Materials
- Organize your electrical parts
- Manage assemblies, builds, and cost
- Track your stock and average cost-per-part
- Keep track of purchases
- Print labels
🗄️ Organize your components
Enter how many of those 150K Ohm resistors you have, and BOMfire will track how many you have, where you stashed them, and where you can get more of them. It can remember where the datasheet is, too.
👀 Manage assemblies and builds
All those parts are used to Assemble and Build things. Tell BOMfire all the components your gadget uses, and it can tell you how many you need to make 1, 10, or 42. And, if you have enough on hand to do it. It also tells you how much it costs to build.
💸 Keep track of purchases
When you need to buy more parts, tell BOMfire how many you bought and how much they cost. It will average your current stock cost with the new cost to accurately represent how much each part is worth. It helps to know you actually ordered it as well.
🎟️ Print labels
It helps to label all those little baggies and boxes. You wouldn't want to mix up all those 0603 resistors with the cryptic partnames. Print them with a label printer and scan them with a barcode scanner.
🧮 Track your stock
When you enter how many parts you have and how many assemblies you build, combined with tracking new purchases, you end up with an accurate count of what you have and what it all costs you.

👻 Great, thanks for reading this far.
BOMfire is great for hobbyists and small businesses that build electrical devices. Managing the BOM of a couple of custom-made devices isn't hard, but it gets exponentially harder pretty quickly.
- How much does it cost to make when the prices of parts vary?
- How many builds can you make with the parts on hand?
- Where is the datasheet for that IC?
- And where did you buy it last time?
BOMfire can help with all of those things. You could keep using Excel, but BOMfire is probably better.
Unlike other BOM software, BOMfire doesn't charge you yearly. It's just a one-time fee (or not if you don't want to pay). It runs completely locally and is yours forever. If you want to stop using it, all your data is in a plain SQLite file.
