Hello,
I know there were discussions a few years ago about inventory software. I was wondering if anyone here has links to inventory software they may be using.

I need to get a spreadsheet setup again. I believe some were using Microsoft Access. Then it's a project that'd take me some time as most of my figures are in tackle boxes not in the original packaging, as are weapos sets.

What would that software need and where would it need to run? Inventory can be as easy as a Spreadsheet (Excel) and as complex as a database application with entry masks.

If we can define what goes in there and what it should do it would be easier to find something. Or write it

I had worked on a Access based database in the passed but I lost what I had. I know there are some commercially available Access based programs but I can't seem to find any of them at the moment.

Hi Andy

I downloaded a freebie here but a purchased version of the same apparently lets you do various cool things with it.

In my case, I use TioLive as an inventory software. This is an online tool with different modules (you have accounting or CRM for example) and I do like the inventory one. This is accurate and it provides me with good estimation for the future.

Hi there,

What's up? Did you have some time to test our solutions during the week-end? What did you like or dislike? I would be happy to have some feedback on TioLive

Try Open Office. They'll have both an Access and an Excel clone.

I did mine in Open Office, years ago I had one in Access. Not too difficult to set up, it's mostly a mask over a spread steet that you have a lot more power over than a plain spread sheet. OO has a PDF output feature, so you can print up a list before the next model buying spree...

Somewhere on this side of the pond (Modeling Madness?) someone had a package (Kitinfo?) that was a fee based piece of software ~U$30.
