ElectroDepot is a comprehensive inventory management application for electronic components. It helps electronics enthusiasts and professionals keep track of their integrated circuits (ICs) and other parts, solving the common problem of losing track of components or making unnecessary purchases.
The application leverages a client-server architecture to maintain a digital inventory and integrates with popular electronic component sellers like DigiKey and Mouser. Users can automatically update their inventory when new parts are ordered or delivered.
ElectroDepot is much more than an Excel spreadsheet for managing IC names:
- It provides an intuitive interface to organize components into projects.
- It simplifies access to sellers for specific parts.
ElectroDepot aims to be the go-to application for every electronics enthusiast striving to organize their workflow efficiently.
