This template gives you complete control over your office inventory. It tracks what's in stock, alerts you when items run low, and logs every order in one clear place.
The system connects four seamless tables: Users, Inventory, Orders, and Suppliers. When a staff member requests new toner, the order links directly to the relevant inventory item and the designated supplier without duplicate entries.
Forget manual stock counts and frantic reorders. Automated formulas instantly flag when an item hits its reorder threshold, ensuring you never run out of critical supplies again.
Spreadsheets start simple but quickly turn into chaotic lists with missing details and broken VLOOKUPs. When multiple people edit stock levels or request items, version control and accountability become a nightmare.
In a structured system, columns enforce strict rules so data stays clean. Dates stay formatted, item categories remain consistent, and invoices are securely attached directly to their matching orders.
Instead of copy-pasting vendor details across fifty rows, you simply link a supplier card to an inventory item. This is exactly what Softr Databases are designed for—keeping data connected and reliable as your team grows.
Immediately identify what needs replacing using the built-in stock status flags. You can track every pending request, ordered item, and received delivery without hunting through messy email chains.

Yes, it is entirely free to get started. Softr includes robust databases on the free plan, allowing you to invite unlimited collaborators instantly. Higher-tier plans are available if you need to scale up your record limits significantly.
