Inventory in the company

All Habr!

I work for a small company. The other day we had an unpleasant event — the office was robbed. Banal to the obscene — just climbed into the box and took out a few notebooks as well as tablets and cameras. By the way, nearby lay the tablets, including ipad2, DSLR and expensive quadcopter. But judging by the trail of dirty sneakers abibas, the thieves were not very educated.

Learning about the incident, we called the police. Came the investigator examined the scene and started the investigation: which laptops went missing, what were serial numbers... Alas, neither one of us came up with the idea that one day we will need this information. Our answer was in the spirit pergidrolevaya diva "brown busy". Needless to say that the investigator was this answer kind of confused? Yes, and "brown busy" has sunk into Oblivion. Looked Craigslist and other sites, but to no avail.

The harsh reality forced to acknowledge unpleasant facts — in the company reigns negligence: responsible for the inventory there, the number of office equipment in the company — the figure is mythical. Any person, whether a member or just passing by, could make a vending equipment and it is unlikely we would notice the loss.

Responsible for the inventory have been assigned. He walked around the office and fixed the remaining warnings in the excel file. Given that we are it company and are engaged in software development, this approach surprised everyone ) including those responsible.

And then I visited the idea: "Why not to write an app where you can keep records on inventory, monitor their status and know what what is the employee's laptop is in use?".
A few days distribute functionality, but the interface is not pleasing: there was the usual admin one table. Was rigged, pull up some styles from FLAT UI connected backbone and received a single-page app that runs much faster and looks more decent.



The functionality at the moment is simple: adding inventory (cost, payer, description) in which office the equipment is located, who is using them. Plus, there's the possibility of employees.
Plans a lot, interested in software and mobile developer company, offered to write an app that would help the whole thing to fix and monitor the inventory. Now look in the direction of printers that can print stickers with a qr code. A friend from a large company suggested about radio labels, like when large stores are much easier to find the necessary equipment at the radio-label.

I Will be happy to listen to all the criticism and learn how your company solve such problems? Maybe someone has interesting ideas or suggestions for improvement.
