OpenBoxes
OpenBoxes is an open-source supply chain management system for healthcare facilities and disaster relief efforts. It was built for resource-scarce settings and has also been adapted for warehouse management, distribution, and other supply-chain work. Inventory records can track facility, bin location, lot or serial number, and expiration date. Procurement and fulfillment tools include purchase orders, supplier management, requisitions, picking, packing, and shipment tracking. Built-in reporting covers consumption, stockouts, expirations, transactions, stock analytics, and quantities on hand. Its mobile-optimized interface supports barcode scanning, inventory lookup, and receiving and shipping workflows. Integrations include REST API, webhooks, ERP integration, EDI, and named tools such as n8n, OpenFn, Boomi, Crowdin, and DHIS2. Organizations can host the web-based system in the cloud or on-premise; cloud use needs consistent internet access, while offline on-premise operation requires hardware and staff. OpenBoxes is free to use and modify under the Eclipse Public License, with no user-license fees. Managed support is available through OpenBoxes Lift: Shared OpenBoxes Lift costs $75 a month, and Dedicated OpenBoxes Lift costs $899 a month.
