Run your mechanical engineering projects with tools built for your workflow
Build practical apps for everyday engineering work. Create a project hub, requirements and design review tracker, BOM and parts database, RFQ tracking, validation test logs, equipment maintenance schedules, and client portals — by describing what you need.
Start with the basics
Build the tools your engineering team actually needs
Mechanical engineering projects juggle specifications, design reviews, BOMs, supplier quotes, prototypes, tests and approvals — often spread across emails and spreadsheets. Requirements change, test data gets buried, and decisions are hard to trace when deadlines are tight.
Use YeshBe to build custom apps around your process. Create a central project hub with a requirements matrix, link each requirement to test cases and results, log design decisions, and track change requests with simple approvals. Capture validation data in structured forms, attach photos and reports, and generate clear status views for reviews.
Bring operations and suppliers into the picture with a BOM and parts database that fits your naming and revision practices, plus an RFQ tracker to compare quotes and lead times. Add a lab logbook for test runs and an equipment page for calibration and maintenance schedules. Share progress through a client portal while keeping internal details in separate views.
- Requirements to testsBuild a traceability view that links requirements, design decisions, test cases and latest results.
- BOM & parts databaseCreate a parts library with your fields: part numbers, materials, revisions, vendors, cost and lead time.
- RFQs & supplier trackingCollect quotes, compare responses and record sourcing decisions in one place.
- Lab tests & equipmentLog test procedures, results and attachments, and track equipment calibration and maintenance.

Requirements, Tests & Change Tracker
Link requirements to test cases and change requests, capture results and keep reviews organized.
PromptCreate an app called 'Project Requirements & Tests'. Include: 1) Requirements table (ID, description, rationale, priority, owner, status, verification method, related test cases, notes). 2) Test Cases table (ID, title, procedure steps, equipment, parameters to record, acceptance criteria). 3) Test Runs table (test case, date, operator, sample/serial, recorded values, pass/fail, attachments, comments). 4) Change Requests table (ID, reason, affected requirement/part, impact summary, requested by, approvers, status, decision date). Build screens: a Requirements list with filters and a detail page showing linked tests and change requests; a Test Run form optimized for tablet use; a Change Request review screen with status and decision log. Add a dashboard that shows open requirements by status and a simple traceability view showing each requirement with linked tests and the latest run result. Provide a client-friendly read-only view for requirement status only.
BOM & RFQ Manager
Structure your BOM, track suppliers and compare quotes and lead times per part.
PromptBuild a 'BOM & RFQ Manager' app. Tables: Parts (part number, description, material, revision, drawing link, unit, make/buy, target cost, preferred supplier), Suppliers (name, contact, email, phone, notes), RFQs (ID, part number, quantity, due date, status), Quotes (RFQ, supplier, unit price, MOQ, lead time, currency, attachment link, notes). Screens: BOM list with filters (material, revision, preferred supplier), Part detail page showing active RFQs and approved quote, RFQ creation wizard to invite multiple suppliers, and a Quote comparison view highlighting price, lead time and MOQ. Include a simple report that lists parts with no current supplier or expired quotes.
Test Lab Logbook & Equipment Maintenance
Standardize test logging and keep equipment calibration and service visible to the team.
PromptCreate a 'Lab Logbook & Equipment' app. Tables: Equipment (ID, name, serial, location, last calibration, next due date, status), Calibration Events (equipment, date, result, certificate link, notes), Test Logs (ID, procedure, sample/serial, operator, ambient conditions, key parameters, results, attachments, pass/fail, comments), Nonconformances (test log, issue description, containment, corrective action, owner, due date, status). Screens: Today's Tests quick-entry form for mobile, Equipment calendar with upcoming calibrations, and a dashboard that flags overdue calibrations and open nonconformances.
Client Project Status Portal
Share milestones, deliverables and decisions with clients without exposing internal data.
PromptBuild a 'Client Project Portal' for sharing status. Pages: Project Overview (milestones, % complete, next steps), Deliverables (list with status, owner, due date, file links), Design Review Actions (action item, owner, due date, status), Decisions & RFIs (log with date, summary, decision, attachments), Meeting Notes (date, attendees, minutes, actions). Provide an internal admin screen to draft updates and then publish them to the client-facing view. Add a simple form for clients to submit questions or RFIs that create tracked items internally.
Questions and answers
Common questions about Mechanical Engineers
Answers to the questions owners ask us most often.
Can I build a requirements-to-test traceability matrix?
Yes. You can create linked tables for requirements, test cases and results, then add views that show each requirement and its latest verified status.
Do I need to know how to code to use this?
No. Describe what you want in plain language and refine it step by step. You focus on the workflow; the platform helps build the app.
We manage BOMs and RFQs in spreadsheets. Can this replicate that?
Yes. You can define tables with the same columns, add forms for data entry, views for filtering and a comparison screen for quotes. You can copy data in to get started.
Can clients see only selected project information?
Yes. You can create a client-facing portal with read-only views of milestones, deliverables and status, while keeping internal fields in separate views.
