Are you currently at the crossroads of debating whether or not to make the switch from Excel to a cloud-based inventory management system? Understandable, yes. Difficult decision? No. While Excel can have its upside to keeping tabs on your business’ inventory, it can be extremely tedious and troublesome to keep up with. Changing to an automated inventory system does all the tasks for you, so you can get back to what you do best - running your business.
Excel seems to be doing what I need, why switch?
Not to mention that when working with a team, Excel’s accessibility has its limitations. If you are managing more than one location, your team grows and so does the likelihood of inaccurate edits to your inventory count with no traceability. Excel does not give access to multiple users, making it more difficult for your teams to have constant accessibility to real-time inventory data.
Last but most definitely not least, Excel’s major downfall is its lack of real-time inventory data. If you are not constantly updating your inventory count with each movement, your data can quickly become out of sync and cause extreme inaccuracies. Without a proper inventory count at all times, you are risking wasted money, resources, customers, and profits.
