inventoria

Inventoria is an open-source inventory management system designed specifically for makerspaces, fablabs, and hardware labs where components and tools are frequently shared. In many such environments, inventory is often tracked using physical registers or informal systems, making it difficult to know what components are available, what has been borrowed, and who is currently using specific items.

Inventoria aims to digitize and simplify this process by providing a centralized system where users can view the current inventory, borrow components, and record returns. The platform maintains a clear history of transactions, allowing lab managers and users to track component availability and borrowing records in real time.

The project focuses on creating a simple and accessible interface that can be used easily on both desktop and mobile devices. Future enhancements may include QR or barcode scanning for quick component identification, low-stock alerts, and analytics for inventory usage.

By making the system open source, Inventoria aims to provide a customizable and deployable solution that any makerspace, student lab, or community workshop can adopt and adapt to their needs.
