Introduction

Innovators Parts - purchase tracking for FRC teams, from wish list to receipt.

Welcome to Innovators Parts

Innovators Parts tracks what your FRC team needs to buy, what has been bought, and what has turned up — with the paperwork attached.

How it works

Parts are grouped into orders, one per vendor. You add a part and say where it comes from; it joins that vendor's open order, or starts one. That mirrors what actually happens at the till: one checkout per vendor, not one per part.

An order then moves as a unit — To order, Ordered, Arrived — because the box arrives, not individual parts.

Key features

Orders by vendor

Parts group into one order per vendor, tracked from "to order" through to "arrived" on a board or in a filterable table.

Paste a link, get a part

Product URLs from REV, AndyMark, DigiKey, Playing With Fusion, Online Metals, McMaster-Carr and Shopify storefronts fill in the name, SKU and price.

One-click vendor carts

Hand a finished order to the vendor's own site and have the cart built for you.

Receipts on the order

Attach invoices and photographed receipts to the purchase they belong to, backed up with your data.

Split payments

Record a purchase part-paid by a Kit of Parts voucher and part by the team card, as one order.

Invitation-only access

Sign in with Google or a password. Either way, only people an admin has invited can get in.

Getting started

  1. Ask a team admin for an invitation — there is no open signup
  2. Sign in with Google, or use the link in the invitation email
  3. Add a part by pasting its product URL
  4. Order it, then record the payment and attach the receipt
The Quick Start walks through all of that in a few minutes.
