Reference the procedure flow chart, updating in real-time, to guide you through conditional paths.
Resize and collapse the sidebar and its details to maintain valuable screen real estate.

NEW! Gantt Chart View for Operations

Visualize schedules for each of your operations to track and manage activities. See when concluded events happened, schedule pending tasks, and manage activities currently in progress.
- Toggle directly between the existing operation list view and the new gantt and calendar schedule views.
- Customize your view with interactive gantt controls.

NEW! Add Test History to Requirements Page

Track progress toward test requirements by viewing the most recent test case run in the requirements table and full test case run history for each requirement.

NEW! Show Issues on Parts, Items, and POs

View which parts, items or purchase orders have open issues at a glance so you know what needs attention

NEW! Show Parts with Low Inventory

Efficient Inventory Visibility: Provides a quick overview, streamlining management of parts with low inventory.
Swift Diagnostics: Identifies replacement parts for informed decisions, minimizing downtime.

NEW! Manage Parts and Inventory using the Builds API

Create, retrieve, and update all parts and inventory data using the new Builds API endpoints.

Parts API supports creating parts in bulk, specifying BOM information for each part, and updating parts by creating new revisions.
Inventory API supports adding items in bulk, updating item location and other metadata, and listing both active and consumed inventory.

NEW! Integration with Flow

Flow is a modern requirements-tracking software built to help agile teams design faster. If you're already using Epsilon3 and Flow, here's a video walking you through configuring the integration.
