InvenTree is an inventory management system for electronics manufacturers, makerspaces, and small-to-medium businesses. The hierarchical part categorization system organizes components into unlimited nested categories, while stock items tracked across cascading locations and sub-locations provide instant visibility into current inventory levels, with optional serial number tracking for individual item traceability and acceptance testing. Intelligent BOM management calculates sub-part requirements, validates availability against current stock, supports multi-format BOM upload including KiCad integration, and generates detailed bills of materials with full database enrichment. Build orders consume BOM-allocated stock to produce assembled parts with step-by-step work order tracking, while purchase orders manage supplier relationships with pricing history, lead times, and automatic stock receipt processing. The modern React frontend built with Mantine, TanStack Query, and Zustand provides responsive data tables, tree-select navigation, a preview drawer, and a snippet editor. The extensible plugin system supports 19 mixin types including BarcodeMixin for scanner integration, LabelPrintingMixin for Zebra and Brother printers, AppMixin for custom database tables, and ScheduleMixin for periodic background tasks. Companion mobile apps on Android and iOS provide barcode scanning and stock operations in the warehouse. Docker Compose deploys with PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MariaDB backends behind any reverse proxy.

Every batch a craft business ships carries a recipe version, a cost, and a trail of ingredient lots, and Craftplan, an open-source ERP, keeps all three connected. Receiving stock against a purchase order records each supplier lot code and optional expiry date, and partial deliveries keep the order open. Customer orders appear on a delivery calendar and can generate invoices. Scheduled items wait on the production board as unbatched cards until Batch All creates one batch with a frozen copy of the recipe. Capacity warnings flag products over their daily limit, and a forecast highlights materials that will run short. Finishing a batch consumes ingredient lots earliest-expiry first, skips any lot on hold or rejected, and snapshots material, labor, and overhead costs. Recipes are versioned, so past costs never change. A blend made in-house can be stocked as its own material, with its actual yield, lot costs, and source lots intact. Allergens and nutrition facts roll up from each material through every recipe, and completed batches print A5 or compact labels with a scannable barcode. The Trace Center follows a supplier lot forward to every customer who received it, or a finished batch back to its sources. Recall mode can place the lot on hold, and the trace exports as CSV or prints for the recall file.

Roughly 40 integrated business apps forming a full ERP: Odoo's open-source suite runs companies end to end. The Community Edition, licensed LGPL-3.0, ships roughly 40 apps covering CRM, sales, invoicing, basic accounting (journals, chart of accounts, taxes, reconciliation), inventory and warehouse management with multi-step routes, manufacturing with BOMs and work orders, purchasing, project management, timesheets, HR, a website builder, and eCommerce. Each app works standalone, but they share one PostgreSQL database and one data model, so a confirmed sale updates stock, triggers procurement, and posts invoices without integration glue. The modular design means you enable only the apps you need and extend with 40,000+ community modules from the Odoo app store covering nearly any vertical requirement. Inventory supports multi-warehouse stock, reordering rules, and lot and serial tracking with barcode-ready operations; manufacturing ties BOMs, work orders, and work-center routing directly to sales demand and stock levels; and the website builder sells straight from your product catalog with payment provider integrations. You can start with just CRM and invoicing on day one and switch on inventory or eCommerce later - new apps integrate with existing data instantly because the schema is shared. The server is Python with an XML/JavaScript view layer, and because data lives in plain PostgreSQL there is no proprietary format: you can query, back up, migrate, and extend business data directly, with unlimited users and no per-seat licensing - where enterprise ERP pricing is per user per month, headcount here costs nothing.

DumbAssets delivers a deliberately simple physical asset tracker that does exactly one thing well — keeping tabs on everything you own, from server racks down to individual HDDs, with hierarchical component nesting that mirrors real-world organization. The Node.js backend stores all data in JSON files within a single /data directory, making backups trivial with one folder copy while the PWA-enabled frontend provides responsive access from any device with light and dark theme persistence. Assets track model numbers, serial numbers, purchase dates, warranty expiration dates, and custom descriptions while sub-components nest infinitely — attach a Dell R730 to your server rack, then attach individual drives, CPUs, and NICs to that server with separate warranty and maintenance schedules for each. The Apprise notification engine fires configurable alerts for warranty expirations and maintenance events with direct links back to the specific asset in the web interface. Photo uploads attach visual records to any asset, receipt storage keeps purchase documentation alongside the item it covers, and a flexible tagging system enables cross-cutting organization beyond the hierarchy. PIN authentication with brute-force protection secures the interface, while search covers names, models, serials, and descriptions with sorting by warranty status, tags, components, or alphabetical order. Deploy with a single Docker command mapping port 3000 and one data volume.

Shelf answers the three questions every equipment manager dreads — who has it, where is it, and when is it coming back — using QR-code-first tracking where every asset gets a unique scannable label, every handover is logged with timestamps and e-signed custody agreements, and every scan captures GPS coordinates displayed on a map. Built on React Router 7 with React 19, TypeScript 5, Prisma 6 ORM, and Tailwind CSS 3 with Radix UI components, the platform generates QR codes and barcodes (Code128, Code39, Datamatrix) printable on DYMO, Brother, and Zebra label printers. The custody system records every handover with user details and generates PDF custody agreements with e-signatures for high-value items, while a complete audit trail tracks responsibility from check-out to return. The visual booking calendar prevents double-bookings automatically, supports partial check-outs and returns with segmented lifecycle bars, and handles quantity-tracked consumables alongside individually serialized equipment. Asset Models enable bulk creation of identical items with shared defaults while maintaining individual QR codes and custody histories. Location tracking displays last-scanned GPS coordinates on MapTiler maps. Supabase Auth provides email and SSO authentication, pg-boss handles background job queuing, and Nodemailer delivers SMTP email. The Shelf Companion app on iOS and Android enables field scanning and bookings. Export Asset Inventory, Asset Distribution, and Custody Snapshot reports for compliance.
