Choose software based on the boring jobs it removes: finding stock, recording costs, knowing real profit and keeping channels organised.

| Area | Option 1 | Option 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Stock location | Can you find sold stock quickly? | Look for SKU/location fields |
| Profit | Does it include all costs? | True profit matters more than turnover |
| Marketplaces | Does it fit your channels? | Prefer authorised integrations |
| Export | Can you get your data out? | CSV/export is a useful safety net |
Use the simplest system that you will actually keep up to date. If a spreadsheet still takes seconds to maintain, keep it. If you are spending evenings copying sales, finding stock or repairing formulas, the saved time from a dedicated workflow starts to matter.
Do not buy software because it has the longest feature list. Choose it because it removes a repeated problem you already have.
