What is a good solution for keeping track of inventory. It looks like if you enter every item in Square it will keep track for you---but, is this the best system.
I don't have a lot of items, but need to know what I have in the boxes without looking at everything!!!

I use an Excel spreadsheet because it makes it easier to keep track of inventory and sales from each show while using fields I have created specifically for my needs.
I do use Square currently. Did use Excel but double work as I entered into square also for easier sale entry but neither really do what I want so thinking about writing an MS Access program or I may use a web program called ARTsala which costs $4.49 / month or $45 / yr for the non website sale option. You can check it out here Artsala. There is a free option you can use to check it out. Artsala was written by Jason Horejs who owns Xanadu Gallery in Scottsdale and author of How To Sell Art. I am currently checking it out but just started so have no opinion.
I thought of Excel too--I only do 3 or 4 shows per year, but today I entered everything into Square---we will see how that works first.
Because I do not have a large inventory, I am currently using the square. Just started so I can't say if I like it or not.
