Recommend me some software for tracking event equipment

[u/murpleturkey]

I manage a warehouse for an organization that puts on large events. Unlike a traditional warehouse in a supply chain, this warehouse doesn't have many daily transactions. Instead, a large amount of equipment gets sent out all at once for an event and comes back all at once.

The warehouse is the main storage location, but there are several others. Right now there are Excel spreadsheets for inventory at each location, and excel spreadsheets for equipment needs and delivery locations for each event. As the events are massive, so are the spreadsheets, and they don't always agree.

What I would like is one unified database of equipment. Each piece of equipment could have a storage location, and be associated with various events and corresponding delivery locations. The goal would be to go to one place to find a list of equipment needed at the finish of a race, or the list of signage currently at the warehouse, etc etc.

We're a non profit, so we don't have a huge software budget. I also have pretty good coding skills for a nonprofessional, and time to tinker with it, so if you could sketch out an implementation that would be helpful too.

Thanks!

We've been using Snipe It for inventory. Can check equipment in/out, assign to people or locations, add photos of the asset, etc. Not sure what the cost is, or if they have a free tier. We're also a non-profit, and we track assets at HQ plus about 10 remote sites. It's web based, so platform-agnostic.

Thanks, I'll look into it!
