Looking for an Odoo Inventory alternative?

Odoo is a full ERP, and Odoo Inventory is one module inside it. That breadth is the point for some companies and the problem for a small one. Count My Boxes is just inventory and warehouse software: import your catalog from a CSV, open a demo in minutes, and start counting the same day.

What small businesses run into with Odoo

Reviewers of Odoo describe it as broad and complex for a small team, with setup that takes weeks and implementation work that dominates the cost. If all you need is stock, purchase orders and a way for customers to order, you are configuring an ERP to use a fraction of it. Count My Boxes keeps the scope to inventory: one item record, stock per warehouse, a customer portal and batch/expiry tracking, without a rollout project.

How Count My Boxes handles it

Operational in a day, not weeks

Export your items to CSV, import them, and the catalog is live. No module selection, no consultant, no implementation phase.

Browser-native and focused

Sign in from any computer or phone. The interface is inventory and warehouse work only, so a single manager can run it without training.

Customer portal and batch tracking included

Each wholesale customer gets a login, their prices and their order history. Lot numbers, expiry dates and FEFO fulfillment are part of the item record.
