Hey folks! I'm currently helping my grandparents run their warehouse, and I've noticed their inventory management system is pretty outdated and complicated. I want to create a program that can help organize their inventory by creating and printing lists in alphabetical order, while also allowing adjustments based on incoming and outgoing inventory. Additionally, it needs to be accessible from multiple computers simultaneously. I have some programming knowledge but I'm eager to learn more and develop this myself. Any suggestions for software or approaches to get started? Thanks!

Have you considered using Excel or Google Sheets? I initially tried to implement something complex for a similar issue, but it turned out that a simple spreadsheet was more effective. Itโ€™s risk-free to start with, so you wonโ€™t have to worry about investing in something that might not work for you.

There are plenty of inventory management software options available that you could look into. Some even have free tiers! I personally use Sortly for my own home inventory, but I'm not sure it would fit all of your needs. It might be better to find something that fits your requirements without reinventing the wheel.
