Meet TrackRaven Inventory.

A kiosk-first, self-serve checkout system built for tool libraries, makerspaces, and workshops. Designed to handle the messy reality of shared inventory — serialized tools, high-value items, half-returned carts, and all.

TrackRaven Inventory

A kiosk-first inventory system that actually holds up in production.

Built on Flask and SQLite, TrackRaven Inventory gives your members a clean, touch-friendly checkout flow while giving staff real control on the back end. No cloud dependencies. No subscription lock-in. Runs on the hardware you already have.

  • ✓
    Serialized tool tracking. Know exactly which drill is with which member, every time.
  • ✓
    Durable cart persistence. Carts survive page reloads, session hiccups, and the occasional power flicker.
  • ✓
    Smart checkin guardrails. Blocks invalid returns before they corrupt your counts.
  • ✓
    Full admin control. Force-returns, overrides, audit trails — all there when you need them.
  • ✓
    Offline-tolerant. Keeps running when the internet doesn't.

Built for

Spaces where shared tools need to not get lost.

If your members share expensive, serialized equipment and you're currently tracking it in a spreadsheet, a clipboard, or a group chat — this is for you.

Tool libraries
Member-run lending libraries where someone else is always waiting for that one drill.
Makerspaces
Workshop spaces with a real inventory problem and a serious equipment list.
Small workshops
Shared studios, co-op shops, and community fabrication spaces under 200 members.
How it fits

One kiosk. One database. Zero surprises.

The design is deliberately small. Fewer moving parts means fewer things to break at 7pm on a Friday.

01 · CHECKOUT
Members scan and go.
Touch-first flow. Barcode or tap-to-select. Cart builds as they go, survives hiccups, commits only when they confirm.
02 · CHECKIN
Returns that actually balance.
Guardrails prevent phantom returns, duplicate check-ins, and "where did the serial number go" situations.
03 · ADMIN
Force-returns, audits, exports.
The control panel is a real tool, not an afterthought. Override anything, audit everything, export on demand.
04 · DEPLOY
Runs on a Raspberry Pi.
Python, Flask, SQLite. Set it up once, leave it alone. Or host it on a small VPS if you prefer — your call.
