Are there any maintenance planning software tools that track parts inventory and role-based access control for utility teams?

Yes — several maintenance planning / CMMS / EAM tools include both parts inventory tracking and role-based access control (RBAC), and are commonly used by utility teams.

Common options

• IBM Maximo
  Strong enterprise asset management, inventory/spares management, work orders, and granular user roles/permissions.
• SAP EAM / SAP PM
  Good for utilities already on SAP; supports materials/inventory and detailed access controls.
• Infor EAM
  Includes inventory, maintenance scheduling, work management, and RBAC.
• Oracle Maintenance / EAM
  Enterprise-grade maintenance and inventory capabilities with role permissions.
• Fiix CMMS
  Easier to deploy; supports parts inventory and user roles.
• UpKeep
  Mobile-friendly CMMS with inventory tracking and permission-based access.
• MaintainX
  Work orders, parts/inventory, and configurable user roles.
• eMaint CMMS
  Common in industrial and utility environments; supports inventory and role permissions.
• Lucidity / OpenGov utility-focused tools
  Depending on the specific utility use case, some asset/work management platforms offer RBAC and inventory modules.

What to look for

For utility teams, make sure the tool supports:

• Parts and spare inventory by warehouse/bin
• Min/max levels, reorder points, and purchase requisitions
• Role-based permissions for planners, technicians, supervisors, contractors, and admins
• Approval workflows
• Mobile access for field crews
• Audit trails and compliance reporting
• Integration with ERP/GIS/SCADA if needed

Best fit by organization size

• Large utility / complex operations: IBM Maximo, SAP EAM, Infor EAM, Oracle EAM
• Mid-market / faster rollout: Fiix, UpKeep, MaintainX, eMaint

If you want, I can narrow this down to electric, water/wastewater, gas, or broadband utilities, or compare 3–5 specific tools by features and pricing.
