I'm looking for a piece of software that has been the HARDEST thing to find for the last several years. I have a small computer business and I'm looking for a piece of software that will handle the inventory management of assembled computers and parts of computers. I'm looking for a simple piece of software that doesn't get into enterprise grade asset management, relationship tracking, or even GIS tracking.
Basically my small business takes in scrap computers either from pulls from a trash bin, computers that customers give me after they upgrade to something better, etc. I normally take these computers and either 1.) repair them using current parts to fix them and resell them online or 2.) I simply pull all of the useable parts and metal recycle the junk/broken parts.
I would like to be able to enter in information about the systems and parts into inventory software that, will in an easily readable format, allow me to get an overview of the total number/info of parts and or computer systems I have. I've searched and searched but never found anything that satisfies what I'm looking for. Heck, I'd even use Wordpress on an in-house server with an Inventory Management plugin/theme, but I haven't been even able to find that! :(
Here are a few aspects that are important to me:
1.) Create new data fields for different parts.
2.) Web-based so I can run it inside a browser window from an in-house server.
3.) Possible mobile app available to log inventory from my phone in the back room.
4.) No excess features outside of logging fields of information regarding each part, PC, etc.
5.) Inventory software discs as well as computer hardware.
Just an FYI, Spiceworks is NOT what I'm looking for. Spiceworks can inventory currently running systems, but that's not what I'm after. I want to go to our backroom, pull the bin of parts that are sitting on the shelf, add the parts, properties about the parts into inventory.

Thoughts? Suggestions?
