Hey, so we have a chemistry lab in our university. We were looking into keeping an inventory of all the chemicals and equipment present there. Initially the plan was to just keep a spreadsheet, but I was interested in something more robust . Some features that would be nice to have:

  • Cross platform: Linux, Windows, Android
  • Simple interface
  • Searching functionality
  • Invoice management
  • Tracking new orders of chemicals

All suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

Grocy could be useful, it is essentially an inventory tracker. Meant for pantries but it scales very well I think. Depending on lab size of course but if you were considering a spreadsheet than it should be more than sufficient I think.

Not a pantry or a chemical lab, but I'm planning to spin up a container later tonight because this is going to make things so much easier.

Thank you.

Maybe Orson's scientific notebook (https://orsn.io) could work. For basic spreadsheets it's cryptpad.fr or bust in my book

HomeBox is another possibility.
