Hey, so we have a chemistry lab in our university. We were looking into keeping an inventory of all the chemicals and equipment present there. Initially the plan was to just keep a spreadsheet, but I was interested in something more robust . Some features that would be nice to have:

Cross platform: Linux, Windows, Android
Simple interface
Searching functionality
Invoice management
Tracking new orders of chemicals

All suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

Grocy could be useful, it is essentially an inventory tracker. Meant for pantries but it scales very well I think. Depending on lab size of course but if you were considering a spreadsheet than it should be more than sufficient I think.

Not a pantry or a chemical lab, but I'm planning to spin up a container later tonight because this is going to make things so much easier.

Thank you.

Maybe Orson's scientific notebook (https://orsn.io) could work. For basic spreadsheets it's cryptpad.fr or bust in my book

HomeBox is another possibility.
