Spreadsheet limitations

Spreadsheets are a good starting point, but they have limitations that become painful as you grow:

  • Manual updates are slow and error-prone
  • No barcode scanning β€” you type everything
  • Multiple versions create confusion
  • No alerts when stock runs low
  • No audit trail of who changed what
  • Formulas break when columns are added or moved
