Book inventory management software is a secure platform where you can keep track of all your books, manage stock levels, log new arrivals, and monitor sales or loans. It consolidates your book records in one place, making it easier to organize your library or bookstore operations without relying on messy spreadsheets or paperwork. This helps you stay on top of inventory and ensures your collection is always up to date.
Softr makes it easy to create book inventory management software tailored to your needs. You can connect your existing data from sources like Airtable, Notion, or Google Sheets, and set up a system where team members can log in, check inventory, add new books, and generate reports, all in one centralized platform.
You don’t need any coding skills. Start with a template or build from scratch, customize layouts, control who can see or edit information, and add your branding. It’s quick to set up, simple to update, and flexible enough to scale as your library or bookstore grows. It helps you keep everything organized and running smoothly.
You can add a variety of features to your book inventory management software, depending on how you want to manage your collection. Common features include:
\- User logins – so staff or volunteers can access and update inventory records
\- Custom dashboards – to track stock levels, recent additions, or overdue loans
\- Forms – for adding new books, updating details, or recording transactions
\- File uploads – to attach cover images or downloadable e-books
\- Search and filters – to quickly find specific titles, authors, or genres
\- Tables, lists, and detail views – to display book inventories, loan histories, or order information
\- Comments or status updates – for internal notes or tracking order status
\- Charts – to visualize trends like sales, loans, or popular categories
\- Calendar view – for tracking loan due dates or book events
\- Permissions and roles – so each user only sees or edits what they’re supposed to
Everything is built using Softr’s drag-and-drop blocks, so you don’t need to write any code. And if your needs change, updating the software is simple.
No coding is required. You can create your book inventory management software entirely with Softr’s visual editor. From layouts to permissions and data connections, everything can be customized easily without writing a single line of code.
Yes. You can manage multiple libraries, bookstores, or teams in a single book inventory management portal. Each user only sees the inventory data and features assigned to them, based on their login and role. This is especially helpful for organizations that oversee several locations or manage different teams handling book collections and stock.
Softr supports a wide range of data sources for your book inventory management. You can connect to Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Coda, monday.com, HubSpot, ClickUp, Xano, Supabase, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MariaDB, BigQuery, and more. You can also bring in book data from other sources using the REST API.
You’re not limited to just one. You can integrate multiple data sources into the same inventory app and display them together—so your inventory management portal can, for example, pull in book lists from both Airtable and Google Sheets at once. Most sources support real-time, two-way sync, so inventory changes in your app or your data source stay up to date automatically.
Yes, Softr gives you full control over how users experience your book inventory management portal. You can customize the layout, navigation, and features to match your workflow and branding. Each page or block can be shown or hidden based on who’s logged in, so each bookstore manager, librarian, or staff member sees only what’s relevant to them.
You can also set up different user roles, such as admin, inventory manager, or staff member—and define exactly what each role can view or edit. For example, staff may see only current stock levels, while admins can manage all inventory records and user permissions. You can also create personalized views by filtering books and data based on the logged-in user.
This level of customization is especially useful when you’re managing multiple locations, teams, or book collections in the same software. It helps keep the experience organized, secure, and tailored to each user’s needs.
Yes, you can. You don’t need to import your book inventory from another system to start using Softr for book management. If you’re starting from scratch, you can use Softr Databases, which is built into the platform and integrates seamlessly with your inventory app.
But if you already keep your inventory in tools like Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Coda, monday.com, Supabase, or any SQL database, you can connect those as well. You can even use the REST API connector to bring in data from other sources. This gives you full control over how your book records and stock levels are structured and displayed in your management portal.
Yes, you can fully white-label your book inventory management software in Softr. You can use your own logo, brand colors, fonts, and custom domain to make the platform feel like a natural extension of your organization or library. You can also remove all Softr branding, so users only see your organization’s identity throughout their experience managing and tracking books.
Yes, you can. Softr gives you a lot of flexibility to control both the design and layout of your book inventory management software. You can adjust colors, fonts, spacing, and page structure to match your brand or organizational needs. You can also choose how each page is laid out, decide which blocks go where, and control what different users—like librarians, staff, or admins—see when they log in.
To display your data, you can add different types of blocks depending on what you need:
\- Table blocks to show structured data like book inventories, check-out logs, or overdue lists
\- List or Card blocks to highlight categories, genres, or featured books
\- Detail View to show information about a single title or user activity
\- Forms for users to add or request books
\- Charts to track inventory trends or popular titles
\- Calendar blocks to display due dates or inventory audits
If your content or design needs change later, it’s easy to make updates right in the visual builder.
Softr is built with security in mind. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest, and your book inventory management apps are hosted on secure, reliable infrastructure. Softr apps give you full control over who can see and do what—so you can set up role-based permissions, manage who can add, edit, or remove books, and set visibility rules to protect sensitive inventory data.
For apps connected to external data sources like Airtable, Notion, or SQL, Softr doesn’t store your data—it simply displays it in real time according to your access settings. You’re always in control of your inventory information and who can manage or view it.
Softr also follows industry best practices for authentication, access control, and platform monitoring to keep your book management data safe.
You can get started for free. Softr’s Free plan lets you publish one app with up to 10 users and 2 user groups, and includes support for all standard data sources like Softr Databases, Airtable, Google Sheets, and more.

Softr is built to make it easy to create fully functional, user-facing apps—like book inventory management systems, portals, and internal tools—without needing to write code or hire developers. What sets it apart is how quickly you can go from concept to a working app, and how seamlessly it connects with your existing book data.
Unlike some no-code tools that focus on mobile apps or are designed for more technical audiences, Softr is perfect for non-technical teams who want full control over layout, user experience, and permissions. You can build on top of real-time data from sources like Airtable, Google Sheets, Softr Databases, or SQL, and create secure, branded inventory apps that your staff or members can log into.
You can visually customize everything—from book lists and categories to user access and workflows. And because Softr includes roles, forms, conditional logic, and API support out of the box, you don’t have to piece together multiple tools to have a polished inventory system.
Yes. Softr supports a wide range of integrations so you can connect your book inventory management software to the rest of your workflow. For example, you can automate notifications for overdue books, sync with communication tools, or generate inventory reports using Zapier, Make, or N8N. Softr also supports REST API and webhooks for more advanced automation.
Whether you need to send data to another system, automate inventory updates, or display information from other sources, you can build these integrations into your software without writing code.
