Not quite on topic but maybe you can help.
I have a customer who doesn't yet have an MRP system or parts master database. I currently use Access to take out new part numbers and when necessary detail the part in SolidWorks. For assemblies, obviously SW can generate a BOM.
However, I'd like to use an alternative to Access as the database and instead use a basic parts master facility where I can allocate numbers for all parts including off the shelf screws, electrical parts etc and SW parts. Something that would also allow me to start a new assembly and call up parts from the parts master database.
I don't need any MRP type functionality as in due course my customer will make up his mind and buy an appropriate MRP system and at the moment I am not concerned with stock levels and usage.
Is there anyone out there with a suggestion? I don't mind paying a small sum for what is a temporary solution. 30 day trials of something too complex won't help me much as I might need to keep it running for a few months.
Thanks
