Customer Testimonials

Time is really valuable. And getting that time back, not having to fumble through spreadsheets or manage everything in different systems … is wonderful.

Adam O’Connor

Founder, Smidge

The amount of data we’d have to deal with would break a spreadsheet,” Ben says. “But that’s where Cin7 comes in — we have trust in the data.

Ben Muller

Co-founder, Dock & Bay

We wanted to have an inventory system where we didn’t have to input spreadsheets or rely on human effort, which led to inevitable errors.

Jayme Smaldone

Co-founder, Mighty Mug

We were putting our Bill of Material (BOM) on an Excel spreadsheet account for the build of the finished product. So we weren’t getting the best control over our cost of goods.

Spreadsheet Replacement FAQs

Why should inventory management not be done in spreadsheets?

Spreadsheets are static, disconnected, and prone to human error. One accidental cell deletion can crash your entire inventory history. Manual data entry wastes time on reconciliation instead of growth, and your spreadsheet is only accurate until the next sale happens.

What are the 4 types of inventory management systems?

The four main types are just-in-time (JIT), material requirements planning (MRP), economic order quantity (EOQ), and day sales in inventory (DSI). Modern inventory software like Cin7 automates these methodologies so you don't have to calculate reorder points manually.

How does inventory software replace spreadsheet tracking?

Inventory management software provides real-time visibility across all sales channels, automatically updates stock levels with each transaction, and eliminates manual reconciliation. Features like barcode scanning, automated reordering, and accounting integrations remove the busywork that spreadsheets create.

What industries benefit most from moving beyond spreadsheet inventory?

Most CPG companies and general manufacturers benefit greatly. Here are some examples: Food & beverage companies automate batch tracking and expiration dates, apparel brands manage complex size and color variants, health & beauty businesses maintain lot control for compliance, and electronics retailers handle high SKU counts with automated assembly workflows.
