Hello,

I am seeing "https://github.com/OpenLMIS/open-lmis" project is doing the same thing.

Why don't you use it ?

Thanks,
Kiran.

Thank you for your comments. We know OpenLMIS well. OpenBoxes has been under development since 2010 and already had an established user base when the OpenLMIS project started in 2012.

Thanks for the information.

I have few questions.

  1. Does it support e-procurement features like indent management, eTendering, eAuctioning, vendor management, catalogue management, Purchase Order Integration, Order Status, Ship Notice, eInvoicing, ePayment, and contract management ?
  2. Does it support multiple facilities like Head office, Primary Health Center, Warehouse, Supplier ... ?

Thanks

  1. We've been focusing on inventory management, as well shipments/requisitions. We built a very basic purchase order system over a year go, but it's not being used by PIH at the moment. We actually use a separate system to handle purchase orders and don't current integrate with that system electronically yet. Our supply chain activities start at the point of a vendor shipment -- we essentially create shipment(s) from the packing lists we receive from vendors (or compiled in Excel if we stage a shipment in our Miami-based warehouse). Most of the features you asked about are not supported at the moment.
  2. Yes. We support multiple locations/facilities/zones/rooms, as well as multiple location groups (e.g. Mirebalais Hospital has two depots, a reconditioning room, and 20+ pharmacies and wards). You can keep track of inventory at any of those locations. There's also basic support for bin locations within a facility/location in case you want to track down to that level. I'm planning on refactoring that a bit to be able to support different unit of measures per bin location so you could have a zone locator used for the Pallet/Case/Box level and a shelf locator for the Bottle/Each level.

Hope that helps.

Justin
