Our verdict on OpenBoxes
OpenBoxes is open-source warehouse and supply chain management software for healthcare organizations, warehouses, distribution operations, and resource-constrained settings. It manages inventory across facilities and bin locations, with lot, serial-number, and expiration tracking. Core workflows cover receiving, putaway, returns, picking, packing, shipping, procurement, replenishment, cycle counting, reporting, and stock transfers. Mobile-optimized workflows support picking, putaway, receiving, shipping, and inventory lookup, while barcode scanning works with handheld scanners or mobile device cameras.
Pricing gives organizations several deployment choices. The Community Edition is free forever and can be self-hosted on-premise or in the cloud, with community support. The Self-Hosted plan costs $24 USD per month and includes self-hosting with DigitalOcean plus dedicated support; the published plan notes that this payment goes to DigitalOcean and may vary with selected server options. OpenBoxes Lift costs $75 USD per month and is fully managed by OpenBoxes, including hosting, installation, configuration, data migration, server management, and support. That makes the product suitable for teams comparing control and cost against a managed setup.
Integration and warehouse execution are the strongest reasons to consider OpenBoxes. REST API access, webhooks, and third-party integration support connect it with n8n, OpenFn, Boomi, DHIS2, and Crowdin. Barcode label printing covers products, bins, and shipments, and cycle counting includes suggested counts, variance recording, and worksheets. Organizations wanting an open-source, multi-facility WMS with broad inbound, outbound, inventory, and procurement workflows should find a strong fit. Teams seeking a native iOS or Android store app, built-in AI features, or a fully supported experience at the free tier should consider the deployment and support model carefully.
