What is InvenTree?

InvenTree connects the catalog of parts with the stock a team actually has and the components required for a build. Categories, suppliers, locations, and bills of materials share one inventory system. APIs and plugins let teams adapt the surrounding workflow instead of maintaining disconnected spreadsheets.

InvenTree is an open-source inventory system for tracking parts and stock. Its web interface, REST API, and plugin system help teams integrate custom inventory workflows.

Core capabilities

  • Organize parts, suppliers, and stock by location
  • Describe required sub-parts through bills of materials
  • Connect custom inventory workflows through the REST API and plugins

Parts, stock, and builds share one model

A part is the catalog definition; stock records explain what is available and where it is held. Supplier items connect purchasing references to those parts, and bills of materials describe the sub-parts needed to make another item. Together these records help teams distinguish catalog knowledge from physical availability.

  • parts
  • stock
  • BOM
  • builds

Extend the inventory workflow

A Django backend exposes a web administration interface and REST API, with a Python client and plugin interface for integrations. Teams can connect external applications or add specialized behavior such as label printing without treating a generic inventory list as the whole operational system.

Where it fits

Use cases

  1. 01

    Control parts and warehouse stock

    Group parts into useful categories, link supplier items, and check stock for a particular part or location before placing another order.

  2. 02

    Plan and complete manufacturing builds

    Define a bill of materials and inspect the sub-parts and stock required for an individual build, giving purchasing and production a shared reference.

  3. 03

    Connect inventory to other tools

    Use the REST API, Python client, or plugin interface to exchange inventory information with internal applications and specialized operational tools.
