- Does anyone know of a simple, off-the-shelf solution that would be
- appropriate
- for inventory management?
-
- This is for a situation where there are several hundred items that need to
- be
- checked out and/or reserved to be checked out by members of a group of
- about
- twenty people. People in the group need to be able to see what items are
- available for the time period when they would need it.
-
- I guess this is very similar to running a library, except that reservations
- need to be made for specific, non-overlapping time periods that can be up
- to
- several months in the future.
-
- I had even thought about using Meeting Maker for this purpose, but there
- must
- be something a little better suited. I don't want to spend the effort
- creating
- a full-blown relational database.
-
- Thanks very much,
- - Mark
