Frequently asked questions

Does the template also work in LibreOffice or Google Sheets?

Yes. It only uses standard formulas such as SUMIFS and COUNTIF, which LibreOffice and Google Sheets also support.

When is an Excel list no longer enough?

As soon as you sell on several channels, you have to adjust stock everywhere by hand – which quickly leads to overselling. Multichannel software syncs stock automatically.
