OpenBoxes vs Unleashed

OpenBoxes is an open-source supply chain management system for tracking supplies and medications across healthcare facilities and disaster relief efforts. It records stock across facilities, bins, lots or serial numbers, and expiration dates, with an audit history of stock movements. Procurement workflows cover purchase orders, suppliers, invoices, requisitions, receiving, and shipments. Expiry alerts and first-expiry-first-out picking help manage time-sensitive stock, while built-in reports cover consumption, stockouts, expiration, transactions, stock analytics, and quantities on hand. Its mobile-optimized interface supports warehouse picking, putaway, barcode scanning, inventory lookups, receiving, and shipping. Integrations include a REST API, webhooks, n8n, OpenFn, Boomi, Crowdin, and DHIS2. The Community Edition is 0.00 USD and supports self-hosting, with community support. Paid options include Self-Hosted at $24 a month, Shared Lift from $75 a month, and Dedicated Lift from $899 a month with a 12-month minimum term. Cloud deployment requires consistent internet connectivity; on-premise deployment requires supporting hardware and people.

Unleashed is inventory software for managing stock and orders, with barcode scanning, purchase orders, sales orders, and stock alerts. It runs on the web, iOS, and Android, and includes mobile apps. The Core plan costs $399 a month, billed monthly, excluding applicable taxes. It allows 3 users, 100 sales orders per month, 3 basic integrations, and 250,000 API calls per month. Pro costs $729 a month, also billed monthly and excluding applicable taxes; it allows 5 users, the same 100 monthly sales orders, 5 basic integrations, and 500,000 API calls per month. A 14-day trial is available, but there is no free plan. The listed plan differences are user capacity, integrations, and API call allowance, while both plans have the same monthly sales order limit. Unleashed was founded in 2009 and is headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand.
