Crowdsourcing gives me that opportunity to support my diversity of interests. It keeps me alive with new challenges and interesting projects. Can't get much better than that can you? Oh yeah, and what's my risk? Time. I personally call it play time.John Lynn, Feb 2007

The Idea
There are thousands of folks now peddling their wares on the Internet, many out of their garages. How do they accurately track their inventories and tie that in to their e-commerce applications and their, more than likely, humble accounting systems? Big retailers use barcodes and massive inventory software programs to track their inventories. There's no reason the little guy can't do the same - aside from cost. Let's build a low-cost inventory tracking system using the ASP model. The system should be able to tie into the more popular accounting systems, such as Quickbooks and Quicken Business, while also updating their online catalog in real time. Tie in a barcode scanner and barcode printing to make it more efficient to use.
I thought of this idea when I was...
I've watched a number of folks selling items online out of their own household - whether it be eBay sellers or craftspeople - struggle with maintaining accurate invetory counts. Being a web developer, I naturally turn to the Internet for my inspiration for a solution.
