OpenBoxes

Benefits

Open-source

OpenBoxes is open-source which means you have access to the source code which provides the flexibility to customize the software to your requirements.

Visibility

Provide real-time visibility into inventory levels, locations, and movements, enabling better decision-making, demand forecasting, and stock rotation.

Accuracy

OpenBoxes uses real-time data to track inventory levels and movements accurately. This reduces the risk of overstocking or understocking, minimizing costly errors.

Scalability

OpenBoxes can grow with your organization. Whether you’re a small business or a large enterprise, you can scale the software to meet your changing needs.

Accessibility

As an open-source solution, OpenBoxes is accessible to a wide range of organizations, including those in developing countries or with limited budgets, helping them improve their supply chain operations.

Efficiency

Reduce wastage through use of first-expiry-first-out (FEFO) picking strategy that ensures medicines will be used before their expiry.

Forecasting

Provides the ability to track demand data, helping your organization make more accurate predictions about future inventory needs. This can reduce the risk of overstocking and prevent stockouts.

Traceability

Improve traceability throughout the supply chain by using data standards, including lot numbers and expiration dates, to better handle exceptional product lifecycle events like product recalls.

Continuous Improvement

OpenBoxes is actively developed to meet the needs of our users and we encourage community contributions and involvement during the software development process.

Customizations

Being open-source, OpenBoxes can be customized to suit the specific needs and workflows of your organization. You can modify the code to add new features or integrate it with other software systems.

Community

Open-source software often has an active community of users and developers who can provide support, share best practices, and contribute to its development and improvement.

Error Reduction

Automation and barcode scanning capabilities in WMS minimize manual data entry and human errors, leading to fewer shipping mistakes, returns, and stockouts.
