User Guide
Overview
Backbone MRP is made of two complementary components: a desktop app and a web portal. The desktop app is designed for day-to-day, factory-floor and office use, while the web portal is best suited for account setup, subscription management, and inviting customers to your own order portal.
Customers always view their data in the browser based web portal. There's no need for them to download and install the app.
Desktop App
The desktop app runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux and provides the full Backbone MRP feature set — customers, parts, orders, shipping, invoicing, AI assistance, and QuickBooks Online integration.

The web portal is accessible from any browser with no software to install. It is best suited for viewing this user guide, account setup, subscription management, and inviting customers to their own read-only portal. Ideal for administrators and occasional access from any device.
