What do you use for Inventory

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.  

  • Excel
    • 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.

  • I use a simple exel file, each purse or item is tagged with a number..I keep a printed copy on a clipboard and mark it off when sold...simple but for the couple of events I do each year, it works
  • 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.
