InvenTree - Intuitive Inventory Management

InvenTree is an open-source inventory management system which provides intuitive parts management and stock control.

InvenTree is designed to be lightweight and easy to use for SME or hobbyist applications, where many existing stock management solutions are bloated and cumbersome to use. However, powerful business logic works in the background to ensure that stock tracking history is maintained, and users have ready access to stock level information.

How it Works

InvenTree is a Python and Django application which stores data in a relational database, and serves this data to the user(s) via a web browser, and (optionally) can be integrated into custom applications via an API.

InvenTree is designed to allow for a flexible installation. You could run the InvenTree server on Raspberry Pi SBC and have a simple single-user setup with a lightweight sqlite database. Or it can be run on the "cloud" using MySQL or PostgreSQL and support multiple simultaneous users.
