Inventory FAQ

Will the inventory system work with bar code scanners?

While it is possible to increase the efficiency of commercial inventory systems by using bar codes to identify each item and scanners to record their movement, that approach is overkill for the simple requirements of most non-profit groups.

The OurGroupOnline inventory system makes it easy to check in and check out items without the need for expensive bar code scanners.


Is there a way to track the value of our inventory?

No, that's beyond the scope of this system.

Businesses need to track the value of their inventory as part of their overall asset valuation, which is necessary for GAAP accounting.  Businesses may also need to borrow against the value of their inventory.

OurGroupOnline was designed for non-profit groups that do not have these requirements.
