What is database software and why does looking for info about it keep giving me info on creating mobile apps?
I need something will help me create an inventory of rental gear with status, time for service, replacement cost, original vendor, current vendor, etc
So I think I need database software
But when I go look for it, every video explaining DB software seems to talk about using it to create mobile apps
Also wiki software and iA Writer seem to get recommendations which means I maybe don’t want database software but rather something else?
Hjalp!

Hi, I work in IT for a retail company doing every day exactly what you are doing right now. You’re kind of asking the wrong question here.

While database software will defiantly be a part of the software you are looking to purchase. It’s kind of like saying “I’m going to need a delivery vehicle, so I think I should buy some steel to make a car”. While that’s true, cars are made of steel, what you actually want to do is find a manufacturer who’s job it is to turn steel into cars then buy a car from them. Even better, find a manufacturer that specializes in delivery vehicles so that it’ll already have the special delivery related features that you want.
Database software us the “back end” of almost all software platforms. Everything from the Point of Sale software that they use in every retail store, to the google search back end, all of it uses some kind of database software.
What you should be looking for is an “off the shelf” software product that is designed specifically for the rental industry.
I did some quick googling and found the software by www.rentle.io that looks designed to suit your needs, but honestly I know nothing at all about it so not a recommendation.
