Comprehensive inventory management is central to the efficient operation of any facility that uses and stores chemicals. There are numerous software packages available that perform this function satisfactorily. Most commercially available inventory management software is regulatory or procurement focused and usually comes with upfront or monthly fees. Finally, this report describes freely downloadable software developed at Sandia National Laboratories that delivers an effective inventory management system with an additional focus on chemical security.
