Here at work we have some folks who need help keeping their inventory of
electronic components up-to-date. We can't quite figure out how a simple
database like FileMaker could do this in a user-friendly manner, so we
are seeking some dedicated freeware, shareware, or commercial inventory
software.

For each component, they technicians need to know how many they have in
stock, how many are on order and when the order is expected. When a
component's inventory gets low, the software should include it on a
weekly list of items to be ordered. The software should keep track of how
long it typically takes for an order to be delivered, as well as a
typical number of the components used each week, and use that information
in judging when to order more components.

This is bound to be a common, _a very common_, problem, but we can't find
any Mac software to handle it. Any suggestions?
