| Open source stock tracking / cost per project software? |
| (1/1) |
| gmc:
Is there any decent open source stock tracking software I can use for a hobbyist? I've been using excel to keep track of quantities and have a tab listing all of the components to work out cost per piece taking into account cost/tax/shipping. I then have a tab for each project listing all the components and quantities required and the costs/stock is looked up from the components tab. This has been working well but its becoming unmanageable with the now 100's of components I have. I've started selling some of these projects so when building the PCB's I then update the stock as I use them and can easily see what it costs to build. Is there some open source software that will do the job better than this? Stock + tracking cost per component as well as costs of projects. |

For stuff like that that involves a web hybrid component I like to use regular Zope. Not Plone, but you can install Plone and use the Zope in Plone which gets frequent bug fixes.. Zope. its a templating and web dev toolkit written in Python. You can use it to do web-database stuff, and each stock lookup is basically a http get which you can implement as a loop in a web page. Its very easy. And very useful. You can make very simple interfaces to all sorts of hardware. Its really a personal choice. I prefer Zope, but its similar to PHP where it sits. Its very secure and has very fine grained security features. |

You might want to check out InvenTree and Ki-nTree, especially if you use KiCad: https://github.com/sparkmicro/Ki-nTree/ |
