5 Best Parts Inventory Management Software of 2026 (Reviews)

Accruent Maintenance Connection is designed for enterprises. It offers all the basics, such as stock replenishment alerts and mobile scanners for barcodes to track part usage.

In addition to these basics, Accruent offers automated purchase requests. Whenever the inventory dips below your defined level, Accruent automatically raises a purchase request if you’ve configured it that way. When ordering, Accruent’s demand forecasting tool helps choose an optimum order quantity by forecasting demand based on historical data.

The platform also has a mobile app called MC Kinetic. While we couldn’t test the mobile app ourselves, we took a demo available on the website to get a feel of the interface and functionality. The interface is decent, and we like that it offers offline capabilities. We also appreciate that the app allows technicians to scan barcodes or QR codes to look up parts directly from the field. However, we couldn’t test the app on our device, so we couldn’t assess its overall performance.

Fiix is another CMMS that offers parts inventory management as just one of a wide range of capabilities. The solution covers all basic features, including defining minimal stock levels for parts beyond which an alert is triggered, as well as an overview of inventory across different sites. It also lets you receive and approve purchase orders (POs) and requests for quotations (RFQs) via email, but these features are only available on the Professional and Enterprise plans.

In addition to these basics, Fiix helps track parts usage — like how many parts were used and in which work orders. It also helps classify parts using the ABC method, allowing you to prioritize critical parts. The platform also highlights its “Parts Forecaster,” a tool that predicts demand for parts based on past work order usage, upcoming work schedules, current inventory and minimum stock thresholds. It also takes into account seasonality and changing preventive maintenance schedules.

Fiix claims that users can see up to a 50 percent increase in forecasting accuracy. We’re not sure if that’s true for everyone, but being able to forecast parts usage to any degree is undoubtedly helpful. One key problem we had with Fiix was its user interface. If most of the tools in your tech stack are non-legacy, you might find Fiix’s interface old-fashioned and unattractive.

eMaint provides a centralized, searchable spare parts inventory system. This allows your maintenance team to quickly locate and assign parts to work orders. The platform also helps your team manage spare parts across various locations, allowing your team to coordinate and allocate resources efficiently.

You have the option to set up automated reordering and receive notifications when inventory levels drop below a predefined threshold. With alerts and reordering set up, you never need to worry about unnecessary equipment downtime due to parts unavailability. eMaint also integrates parts and work order management. All parts used in work orders are traceable and auditable, which is particularly important for highly regulated industries such as healthcare.

However, eMaint does have a few shortcomings. First, it isn’t as customizable as we like parts management systems to be. Second, you’ll likely find eMaint to be overkill (and expensive) if you’re a small business. It’s more suitable for enterprise users.

Fracttal One’s parts inventory management toolkit includes multi-warehouse management, real-time stock monitoring and automated purchase orders, among other things. Beyond these essential features, Fracttal One integrates with popular ERP systems like SAP and Microsoft Dynamics. Doing so helps sync spare parts information, including stock levels and costs, between the two systems.

Remember that Fracttal One is primarily a CMMS. That means it offers extensive work order management capabilities and tracks the parts used in all work orders. This helps build a comprehensive audit trail that can be used for troubleshooting or to comply with regulations in heavily regulated industries.

What we liked most about Fracttal One is its predictive capabilities. With advanced predictive models, Fracttal One helps you maintain optimum parts inventories, which translates to minimal carrying costs. However, smaller teams may need to get past a steep learning curve to make complete use of Fracttal One’s predictive power.
