About OpenBoxes

OpenBoxes is an open-source inventory and supply chain management system built on Grails. It was created by staff at Partners In Health to digitize the delivery, inventory, and consumption of emergency medical supplies in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake, and it now runs in healthcare facilities across countries including Sierra Leone, Lesotho, Rwanda, Liberia, and the United States.

The application provides warehouse management, shipment tracking, and inventory control, and it aims to run reliably and affordably in low-resource environments. Although its roots are in global health, the community has grown it into a general-purpose warehouse management system used across a range of industries.

OpenBoxes is licensed under the Eclipse Public License 1.0. It ships local setup instructions for developers and separate production installation docs for system administrators, and a public demo site is available to try before deploying.
