Inventory and lab management for a school IT department: what is where, who has it, and what is running low.
IT-RMS is a web-based IT asset, inventory, and laboratory management system originally developed for an educational institution's IT department. Built with PHP 8, MySQL, and Composer starting in 2023, it is now being migrated to Node.js, Express 5, and MongoDB (Mongoose); the PHP version is preserved on a branch. It features 2D lab layout mapping, stock threshold alerts, QR/barcode generation, and role-based access control.
Engineered for an educational IT department, IT-RMS manages multi-branch lab hardware tracking, 2D coordinate classroom layouts, QR/barcode labeling, and critical stock threshold alerts. Originally built on PHP/MySQL and now being migrated to Node.js/MongoDB, the system enforces role-based access control through a five-role user model.
