Revision and inventory control can make or break your StartUp; as your hardware startup gains momentum, there are a million things to worry about, and spreadsheets seem like a cheap and flexible way to keep track of vital information. A parts list with vendor info; versioning; BOMs; how much inventory you have and where. Easy, right?

Unless you’re a spreadsheet hero then your data will be disconnected, have redundancies, and likely contain mistakes. Plus, there’s no user-level security, you can break stuff without noticing, and the file can just disappear.

The first time you have a vendor make something to the wrong version will be inconvenient at best, certainly costly, and might put you out of business at worst.

Listen to this panel of industry experts explain why it’s important to have a robust, reliable system for keeping your revision history and inventory management before it bites you.
