Small clothing business managing ~300 SKUs across multiple locations on Google Sheets causes overselling, wrong stock counts after returns, no team management, and unclear margins.

Spreadsheets break with multi-user real-time sync and multi-location tracking; Zoho Inventory is expensive per user and has a limited free plan; Odoo is powerful but complex and costly for small teams.
