A shop buys 20 boxes, sells 3 at the till and must see 17 left. Golden Inventory does that daily work in two ways. Install it on your office computer and pay once. Or open it in a browser and start with a free plan.
Both keep stock, purchase orders, invoices and a till. They differ in where your data lives and how you pay.
The program runs on one office computer. The other computers, tablets and phones of the office open it in a browser. No internet. No cloud account. No monthly fee.
Open it in any browser or install it on your phone. It keeps working when the internet goes down. Then it sends the changes when the connection comes back.
The first version shipped in 2007. Since then, shops, wholesalers and workshops in more than 30 countries have used it.
System 5 needs no internet and no account. It keeps working when support ends or a vendor closes.
System 5 keeps the data in your office. The web version keeps a copy on your phone and works offline.
System 5 costs $99 once. The web version has a free plan forever, with no card.
System 5 has an open SQLite or PostgreSQL database. Both save each report as CSV.
Purchase orders, receiving, invoices, payments, many locations and work orders that make an item from its parts.
Scan or search a product, pick the payment method, press Pay. A bar code scanner works as a keyboard.
Your logo, colors and columns on invoices and orders. Print, or save as PDF.
Both import the database of Golden Inventory System 4. Items, customers and vendors come across.
Ask one question first: must your data stay inside your office?
