Anyone have a recommendation for something that can track shipments, or at least shipping information? Additional inventory features would also be needed.

My wife has a spreadsheet where she keeps track of things she buys from others (usually not big businesses) that may not get shipped for a few weeks/months. I'm looking for something that could replace that spreadsheet with stuff like whether she's paid for the item, if it's been shipped, if it's been received/verified, etc.

I know of Grocy and Homebox that both can do inventory management, but it didn't look like they have support for shipping/tracking numbers out of the box.

There's also Snipe-It which probably could support it, but it was a bit of a complex mess the last time I tried using it for home purposes.

I use this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.orrs.deliveries

It can usually get the status of most courriers unless they're actively hostile against API/scraping.
Worst case you can still track status manually, or open the webpage.
It doesn't track payment, but I don't usually have a tracking number before paying.
I think you could technically add your own custom status entry.
I keep them as active until shipped and verified after which I mark them as completed.

Works well enough for my needs.
