2,471 PointsTrying to develop an inventory system. Any suggestions?
Looking for a simple way to accomplish the following....
A system to locate products in a warehouse. Each product will have a name, inventory #, image, dims., shipping status, and location (shelf/section #) attached to it. Each entry should be search-able
Most likely this will be accomplished with MySQL, unless there is an easier approach??

You will most likely have to use php, ruby on rails, or a mixture of NODEjs and Ajax to create a form that will allow you to add items to your inventory. You can use MYSQL, NOSQL functions to return specifically searched for items, or a general list of items, and can display them to the user where they can edit, or delete them.
