I've built one in caspio...it's pretty clunky though. I would like to see a better example of one in caspio. Caspio's model, unlike Quickbase, is to give you just a few basic templates that do nothing more than show you limited functionality.... a good inventory system in Caspio would require quite a bit of SQL programming and javascript. Unlike building an inventory system in MS Access (backed up to a SQL server), you don't have server-side programming capabilities with Caspio (unless you pay for them to do it), so you the best you can do is use SQL statements to summarize data in a datapage and javascript to control form functions, etc...

So much of what you would need an inventory system to do, requires a lot of work arounds until Caspio creates more dynamic field options and cross tabulation capabilities.

My workaround was getting rid of many of my relational tables and creating one flat file table for most of the inventory transactions (which is very ugly looking with a lot of null fields)...I still use separate tables for locations, skus, vendors, etc.... but all my transactions from receiving to movements to fulfillment are all recorded in the same table.

I hope that I can eventually parse the information back into relational tables, but it was such a struggle to work with them that way with the way Caspio is designed, that I'll have to wait until Caspio creates more dynamic cross tabulation capabilities, on the client-side (and more robust client-site capabilities in general), before I go that route.

I am not a programer but I have built a number of inventory managment apps in MS Access during my career. Currently build a basic inventory management app using Caspio (although Caspio is somewhat limited with its standard reporting / query functions. I'd be happy to work with someone on developing business requirements for an app like this.

I might be willing to work with someone on this as my certification project. Are we talking an inventory system of products that are bought and sold in the course of a business or are we talking about an inventory system to manage items that we own?
