This might be an unpopular opinion/solution but even for two small size sister companies we are doing inventory in a version controlled markdown file π«£
There's a lot of genius in this idea ...
Honestly, a spreadsheet would be fine for this? I'm not super familiar with what an inventory management system does tho, so maybe it does things beyond what a spreadsheet can do.
Not at all, I like
.md, and I'm familiar with Git. A spreadsheet is not something that I would throw into Git, but an.md...I use markdown too, except I keep the markdown file in a self-hosted wiki (wiki.js)
It's versioned and accepts git as a backend
I'm looking for something that can automatically handle markdown tables for me in git. If an application can do that then I can get off excel/LibreOffice calc.
I haven't searched about this so I don't know, but it'd be cool if there were a way to import/export markdown tables into LibreOffice
That is the reason Markdown and Git are used for a lot shenanigans these days. Knowledge bases, awesome-lists, documentations. You name it.
If you got the right tools (sphinx, typora, mkdocs, β¦obsidian) you got a powerful toolchain.
Simplest possible solution, Occam's Inventory π
I use markdown extensively, but I'm honestly not fond of its tables function (which I assume you use for this purpose?). It works, but it's a bit static in my experience. Do you run up against the same, or is it actually an advantage in your use case?
Weβre using headings for different types of inventory (hardware/office items/β¦) and then a block of subheading, bulletpoint combination (serialnumber, date of acquisition, whereabouts,β¦) for each item and associated item.
The toc is generated automatically and helps browsing through.
Even simpler, I love it! π
