What is it?

Open QuarterMaster is an inventory management system for tracking what is stored where and the facts about each stored item. Its central component is the Core API, which handles generic inventory tasks, and it ships with a frontend called Base Station for navigating and managing stock directly.

Functionality is extended through plugins that add capabilities for specific needs, such as smart refrigerator integrations, physical storage interaction, point-of-sale systems, or workflow management. The project describes the plugin model as open to custom plugins as well. Components are packaged in containers, so the system can run on a Raspberry Pi or on cloud infrastructure.

The project states that its software does not send data to external services, except for an optional instance registration and update checks against its Git repository. Documentation, including single-host deployment guides, is hosted at docs.openquartermaster.com.
