Next Inventory

Modern inventory management for Joomla — track assets, consumables, and sellables across multiple warehouses with barcode scanning, role-based permissions, low-stock alerts, and a full audit trail.

What It Does

Next Inventory replaces spreadsheets and ad-hoc plugins with a proper inventory system for Joomla. Record every stock movement in an uneditable audit log, check assets in and out to named recipients, track supplies with low-stock thresholds, and scan barcodes on the warehouse floor — all from a fast, modern interface inside the Joomla administrator.

The bundle includes the com_nextinventory component (items, transactions, warehouses, reports, notifications) and the plg_system_nextinventorysession plugin (transparent session re-authentication when the admin session expires so long-running data entry is never lost).

Key Features

• Three item types — Assets checked in/out to recipients, consumables used up over time, and sellables with stock-level tracking
• Multi-warehouse stock — Track quantities across any number of warehouses with batch transfers and draft/finalise workflow
• Complete audit trail — Every check-in, check-out, add, remove, transfer, and adjustment logged with reason, user, and timestamp; no transactions are editable
• Barcode scanning — USB keyboard-wedge scanners and camera-based scanning on any device, plus a warehouse-optimised scanner page with large fonts
• Low-stock alerts — Per-item thresholds trigger dashboard warnings, email notifications, and browser push alerts with 24-hour deduplication
• Custom fields — Add your own text, number, select, date, checkbox, colour, and file fields to items, warehouses, and recipients — searchable and filterable
• Role-based permissions — Granular per-feature permission system separate from Joomla ACL, assignable to users or Joomla user groups
• Stock valuation & reports — Live inventory value, transaction history with date filters, stock movement trends, CSV export and print-ready pages
• Modern app-like interface — Fast single-page experience with a fullscreen mode, instant filtering, and a fully responsive layout from phone to desktop
• Fully translatable — en-GB included out of the box; add any language with standard .ini files and full Joomla Language Override support
