Pinventory, a Free Fleet Management for Pinball Operators & Collectors

General
1

Hey everyone! I’ve been building a free tool called Pinventory to help pinball operators and collectors manage their games and financials around them. Wanted to share it with the community and get some feedback.

What it does:

  • Track your machines, locations, and earnings
  • Log maintenance with itemized parts & labor costs
  • Parts inventory with low-stock alerts and reorder tracking
  • Revenue reports with location and machine breakdowns
  • QR code problem reporting; let players report issues right from the machine
  • Team management with role-based access (owner, manager, technician, employee)

It’s completely free no ads, no subscriptions. This is a passion project from a fellow pinball enthusiast. I’ll keep it free as long as the costs to run it allow me to.

You can check it out at: https://pinventory.app

I’d really appreciate any feedback you might have. Feature requests, bug reports, or just general thoughts. You can reach me at PM here, or find me on GitHub: github.com/edgiardina

cloud only?
can some build and host it on there own?

Not currently. If I wanted to make it some sort of private locally hostable solution it would require a decent amount of engineering. And a technical setup on the operators side. I guess I assume technical enough operators might have rolled their own. Plus location operators are offsite by definition. So I guess I’d have to build a mobile app that syncs offline?

The root of this question is privacy I imagine?, since one of my beta testers pulled out when he realized that as a database owner, I could potentially see numbers put into the app. Which is understandable. I wrote a privacy policy saying the data is just to run the app and never for sale to anyone, ever.

If it’s an appealing concept give it a try within the app with test data. Then if you want a local network version only I’m open to discussing it but it likely wouldn’t be free.
