Anyone know of an inventory program for:
I just want to track (via barcode scan) in/out, by tech & job - and maybe c ompare that to the job BOM for variance.
I don't really need to go much further than that - i.e., no interfacing wit h NetSuite Accounting, ordering, stock levels, loading dock, RMA's, etc... The company doesn't want to spring for the full-blown inventory package in NetSuite because A) it's expensive, and B) is probably too complicated for our needs anyway. (That's another long story....)
A lot of what we build can be considered "custom one-offs", and I just need to generate a BOM quickly, pretty much at the same time we do the initial design. Each build is similar to the last, but "different enough" for it t o be a real pain in the ass.
I have this (maybe not so) crazy idea that a few well-placed barcode scanne rs, hooked to a simple running list in/out inventory (by job / tech), even if as a flat file (Excel, *.csv, etc..) would help tremendously. Even duri ng the design phase (don't ask.) :)
In short: Can one of you recommend a very basic (bare-bones) inventory prog ram? Windows based is preferred, and I can dedicate a machine to it. Thanks!!!
