For job shops that need real control of quoting, travelers, routing and job status — without implementing an ERP. Quote to the print, print the traveler, run the board, push the invoice to QuickBooks. Your customers and your floor work from zero-login links.
30-day trial · no credit card · import your open jobs from JobBOSS or a spreadsheet
Build it from parts and operations — work-center rates, materials, markup, quantity breaks. Send a link they accept online. No account for them.
Accepting creates the job with its number and router. Print the traveler — a QR takes the floor straight to it.
The floor scans in on a shared tablet — starts and finishes operations, logs time, notes and photos. Everyone sees the same board.
Invoice from the job — deposit, final, or several jobs combined. Push it to QuickBooks Online; paid status flows back on its own.
The slow part isn't the machining.
It's what you send out — and the quotes and invoices waiting on someone else. Partwright emails you a morning digest of parts due back from vendors, quotes with no reply, and invoices past due. Shop-facing, never spam to your customers.
Paper travelers, a spreadsheet, a whiteboard and QuickBooks will run a shop — right up until the week gets busy and nobody can say which job is where. The answer above that is an ERP: MRP, inventory control and finite scheduling you don't need yet, priced and scoped for a plant many times your size.
Free, and everyone can see it — until someone erases a job, the shop rate lives in one person's head, and "where's that part?" means walking the floor.
The tracking loop done well — quote, traveler, board, invoice, QuickBooks — and a hard line against everything a small shop doesn't run.
JobBOSS, E2, ProShop. Real power, priced per seat and built for shops many times your size. Months to implement, and you use a tenth of it.
Partwright is built and priced to stay in the middle: one flat price, unlimited users, and a deliberately narrow job.
A traveler that walks with the job is still the fastest thing on the floor — it works with oily hands, it doesn't go flat, and it's already how your shop reads a router. Partwright prints it, then puts a QR code on it. Scanning is the whole interaction: start the operation, finish it, add a note or a photo. Nobody spends their day navigating screens to get work done, and the office still sees every status change the moment it happens.
The quote-to-invoice loop, the shop floor, and the push to QuickBooks. Nothing you'd have to switch off.
Every active job across your real stages — in production, outside, inspection, ready, shipped. Drag to move; the board updates live for the whole shop.
Estimate from operations and materials, or price ad-hoc. Work-center rates, markup, and quantity breaks do the math. Send a PDF or a link they accept online.
Print a clean traveler with the router, the print revision, and a QR code that opens the live job on the floor.
Shared devices, a 4-digit PIN per person — no email logins on the floor. Start and finish operations, log time, add notes and photos to the job.
Track parts sent to heat-treat, plating, or grinding — which vendor, promised back when — and get a morning digest of what's due.
Deposit and final invoices from any job, or several jobs combined. One-way push to QuickBooks Online, with paid status polled back.
A part library keyed by customer, part number, and revision. Every quote and job a part has seen is one click away — reorders take seconds.
Import from JobBOSS or a spreadsheet with column mapping. Export everything as CSV any time. Cancel and your account goes read-only — never hostage.
Each of these is a real capability and a whole product in its own right — shops that need them should buy them. Partwright leaves them out so it stays fast, flat-priced, and learnable in an afternoon.
If planning and inventory are what's actually hurting, you need an ERP — and we'll say so rather than sell you this. Partwright is for shops whose problem today is quoting, routing, travelers and job status.
One flat price for the whole shop — every user, every job, every quote. No per-seat maths before you can add a machinist.
Flat pricing. No per-user fees. No surprises.
One product, for one kind of shop, paid for by the shops that use it. That keeps the roadmap pointed at job-shop work rather than at whatever the next tier up will pay for — and it's why the feature list stays short on purpose.
Simple enough to run the floor. Stubborn enough to stay that way.
No email or passwords on the floor. A shared tablet, and each person taps a 4-digit PIN to log time and finish operations. Scanning the traveler's QR code opens the live job straight away.
No — Partwright is intentionally not a full ERP. There's no MRP, inventory, purchasing or finite scheduling, and those are real capabilities worth buying when you need them. Partwright is for the shop whose problem right now is quoting, routing, travelers and knowing where every job stands.
Invoices push one-way to QuickBooks Online, and paid status flows back automatically. Your books stay in QuickBooks — Partwright doesn't try to be your accounting system.
Yes — CSV import for open jobs, parts, and customers, with column mapping so your existing export or spreadsheet works as-is. There's a migration guide for JobBOSS exports, or email it over and we'll set your shop up.
No. Accepting a quote, viewing an invoice, and paying online all happen through a private link. No passwords, no signups, nothing for them to forget.
Your account goes read-only. Nothing is deleted, your exports keep working, and your links stay live. Subscribe when you're ready and pick up exactly where you left off.
Export everything as CSV, cancel in one click, keep read-only access to your history. Your data was never ours to keep.
Partwright is built and run by BLIXTAR TECH S.R.L. — an independent, founder-led company. Support is answered directly by email rather than through a ticket queue. What that's worth is easiest to judge from how your data works: CSV export of everything at any time, and an account that goes read-only rather than locked if you stop paying.
30-day trial, no card. Import your open jobs and you're tracking work the same afternoon.
