Why I built Pallet.

I keep a small collection of car parts at home, mostly used parts that come from my father and the cars we work on. Nothing fancy, just parts on the shelves. Around 400 of them in total.

My father can look at almost any part and know exactly which car it fits, what year it belongs to, and which engine it matches. I can't do that yet. I'm still learning, and once the parts start piling up it's easy to lose track of what we actually have and what has already been sold.

I just wanted a fast way to see what I had, where it was, and what I could still sell.

So I went looking for something to help. Everything I found was built for big warehouses, packed with features I would never use, or priced like I was running a chain of stores. Nothing simple. Nothing that fit a small shop like mine.

So I started building my own. I called it Pallet.

Now every part gets its own QR code, so I can find it quickly, check what it is, and keep track of what is still available to sell. Instead of guessing, I can search the inventory, open the item, and know where it belongs.

I'm sharing it because I figured I'm probably not the only one. If you run a small shop, move used parts, resell inventory, or just have more stuff than a spreadsheet can handle — Pallet is for you too.
