I was looking at something to keep track of products for us to use and to sell. Do you guys use a pc program or make your own sheets or something?



Thanks
 
I wouldn't know from experience but whenever I have needed to make a basic inventory sheet or keep track of something I use Excel or Access.
 
I have tried many programs and different ways to keep track of inventory.



I have found that my memory works best. It is a big pain in the butt every time you sell something to get your computer and log something in or out.



If you are a small business i would say just keep a close eye on your products that what i do.
 
Yeah, we were just thinking of keeping a sheet next to the products and doing it that way. If I rely on my memory we will forget to order more. haha ;)
 
If you aren't going to be stocking a lot of products, then just make a something up quick in excel or even just a table in Word. It won't be hard to keep track unless you have a whole bunch of stuff to watch over.
 
I order more when the gallon containers get below 1/2 full. No formal inventory since I don't sell any products.
 
In our shop, we dont see any need to invest in a software based inventory system. A notebook will be fine since your supplies aren't that fast moving anyway. If you sell products, then that may be a different issue, but to track your chemical usage and stuff, it's a waste of time and money to track such items IMO.
 
Yeah, I don't care how much we use, but we sell items too and we have to keep inventory of what we sold and what we used for various tax reasons.
 
Forgot about what Quickbooks can do. I'd check into them for some software that's really good.



And they give some great offers to previous customers to upgrade... I can upgrade to Quickbooks: Premier 2004 for only $329.95 :rolleyes:
