Why organizations choose OpenBoxes to manage their supply chains.
Inspect, modify, and redistribute the code without restriction. No vendor lock-in, no black boxes, no permission needed to make it your own.
Born in hospitals and pharmacies, with native support for cold chain, controlled substances, lot tracking, and expiry management. But the same tools work just as well for warehouses, NGOs, and manufacturers.
Real-time stock levels across every facility, with full audit trails on every movement. Demand forecasting and consumption reports help you plan replenishments before problems start.
Teams typically go live within 2 to 4 weeks. Import your existing data, configure locations and products, and start shipping. No six-month implementation project required.
Automatic reorder point calculations flag what to order before shelves go empty. FEFO picking and expiry alerts keep products moving before they expire, so less stock ends up in the bin.
Deploy on your own infrastructure or in the cloud. Connect to DHIS2, ERP systems, or your own tools via REST APIs. You own the data and the deployment.
Explore the demo environment — no signup required. See how OpenBoxes manages inventory, shipments, and reporting across facilities.

OpenBoxes is free to download and use. But “free software” doesn’t mean “zero cost.” Every system you adopt — whether open source or commercial — carries costs that go beyond the license fee. Understanding these costs upfront helps you plan realistically and avoid surprises.

Spreadsheets are where every supply chain starts — and where too many get stuck. If your team is managing inventory in Excel or Google Sheets, you’re not alone. But at a certain point, the workarounds start costing more than the software they’re replacing.

When a massive earthquake struck Haiti in 2010, Partners In Health faced a surge of medical donations that overwhelmed their paper-based tracking systems. Out of that crisis, OpenBoxes was born — and today it powers PIH’s supply chain across six countries and dozens of facilities.

I’m so excited that we can make these key processes work more smoothly. I’m excited about the improved excel imports in particular — this will save so much data entry time for implementers.

OpenBoxes helps us to manage all products we need and understand consumption. If you have accurate consumption you will have good numbers for orders and meet the needs of patients. The more we use the system, the more you will be aligned with the philosophy of a preferential option for the poor.

I am excited the new stock movements feature, including import and export feature, edit page, and the autopick feature. I also like the partial receipt feature. It gives you the ability to do your work much faster. I really love this version.

I really love this Openboxes because it’s my first time using an electronic inventory management system. It is easy to use. It helps you to pick the medication on the shelf faster.

Now I know that if a partial shipment comes from Monrovia, I can receive it in the system, which is easier than before.
Warehouse Officer
Partners In Health, Liberia
I’ve been working on OpenBoxes since 2010 and it’s come a long way. None of it would be possible without the incredible teams at Partners In Health and SolDevelo, and the community members who test, report bugs, and push us to keep improving. Some days I’m even a little proud of what we’ve built together.
