Yes, I looked at MERCI. It has the notion of buckets of fungible items,
which is exactly what we need. We don't want people to have to check
boxes for 100 individual phones when they need that many for a test.

Of course, this being Drupal, it is quite intimidating and has a lot of
prereqs. But definitely worth a look.

Ben, you suggested a spreadsheet. C'mon. You know the saying: A
spreadsheet is never the answer. A spreadsheet is the question. The
answer is "no".

Yes, Drupal is probably a bit overkill, but it beats having to develop
my own solution.
