Inventree

InvenTree is an open source inventory management system designed for hardware companies, manufacturers, and hobbyists who need to track parts, stock levels, and production orders. It lets you organize your entire inventory with detailed part data, supplier links, and build schedules. The system stores part parameters, images, and documentation in one place, so you can see exactly what you have and where it is.

It supports barcode scanning, stock location tracking, and integrates with common procurement workflows. InvenTree runs on Linux and can be self-hosted using Docker or bare metal. The API allows integration with external billing or ecommerce platforms, making it possible to connect inventory data directly to order processing. The project is actively maintained by a community of volunteers and the core development team.

This tool is best suited for small to medium hardware businesses, repair shops, and makerspaces that want full control over their inventory data without paying subscription fees. It is released under the MIT license, so you can modify and deploy it freely. More than 5,000 GitHub stars reflect steady adoption in the open source hardware community.
