About simple_inventory

SimpleInventory is a lightweight Windows application for managing small stores and school shops, originally developed for a school in Mondulkiri, Cambodia. Built with C and WPF on the .NET 4.8 framework, it uses a SQLite database for data storage and supports Windows 7 and newer. The software features multi-user support with granular permissions, allowing different access levels for various staff roles. Users can manage inventory quantities, categorize items such as drinks or supplies, and track stock movements. It supports barcode scanning for both single-item sales and bulk transactions, with the latter allowing limited customer data storage. The system automatically calculates change in multiple currencies and defaults to the Cambodian Riel and A4 paper size for local relevance. Administrative tools include PDF barcode generation, detailed inventory reports, and sales performance analysis with daily or weekly income and profit summaries. The application tracks all stock adjustments and sales transactions t

SimpleInventory

SimpleInventory is a small Windows 7+ WPF software application to manage small inventories/stores where items are purchased on a regular basis. It runs on the .NET 4.8 framework and uses a SQLite database for data storage. SimpleInventory was built for a small school in Mondulkiri, Cambodia for use in the school store. Because of the school's location, Riel is the default currency, and A4 is the default paper size.

SimpleInventory can be edited in Visual Studio 2017+.

Feature set:

Multiple users, each of which can be set with different permissions for the different software features available
Manage your current inventory, including current stock/quantity
Sort your inventory into different categories (drinks, school supplies, etc.) -- these different categories then show up as different subtotals on reports
Scan items in using a barcode scanner to quickly mark single items as sold (1 item per purchase)
An additional screen to scan multiple items in using a barcode scanner, then checkout/purchase all those items as one larger item (X items per purchase) -- this method allows you to also store limited amoutns of customer information
When purchasing items, you can set the quantity purchased and amount paid, and the software calculates the amount of change you need to give -- including into different currencies
Generate PDFs of barcodes to print out for use with your barcode scanner
Run daily or weekly reports to see how much income you generated, how many items were sold, and how much profit you made
Run inventory reports to see how much was in stock on any given date
View details on when items were sold or when the quantity of an item was adjusted down to the second

Screenshots

What sorts of things would be nice to add?

More reporting capabilities?
Settings to change default paper size, date format, etc. throughout the app

Code enhancements

Use LINQ or similar to clean up the manual SQLite database calls
Use a templated interface for creating an item (e.g. ICreatedUser) instead of one interface per type
