Need Inventory Manager for your business?
Want the great features available ONLY to registered users?
Finally! An AFFORDABLE inventory management system!
Why spend hundreds of dollars for an inventory management system when this great piece of software will do it for a fraction of the price! Other software makes you request a quote or call for pricing. Does that scare you? There's a reason their prices aren't advertised -- they're OVER PRICED!
With us, you know EXACTLY what you'll pay if you love it... just $25.00.
Inventory Manager is A fairly simple inventory management system with check in / check out functionality, and bar code field (working with most typical bar code scanners), with a couple reports to find out what's currently checked out, and also to see all check out history, the ability to automatically backup the database on exit, stay up to date with the latest version, checking for updates from within the application.
Not exactly what you need?
If the box version does not fit your specific needs, check this out... I'll quote you a custom build to your specifications, and probably STILL be cheaper than the other guys!
Things to note:
** SQLServer Express 2005 (min SP4) with default SQLEXPRESS instance must be installed. **
download 32 bit version here -- or 64 bit here
Inventory Manager does not create an instance. the database is it's own file that stays in the installation folder, however it uses SQLServer Express 2005 for the functionality to read and write to the database file
