Excel does work well for this, but does require some set-up. We have a couple
of inventories (food, parts, equipment). We have standardized the names of
various storage areas and coded the types of items. So with Excel one can sort
by storage area or by type of item or by any field. You can also search for an
item. So if you are looking for #12 wire, you can type it into the search
field, rather than scanning a list of hundreds of items. Its also easy to
print a backup copy. Simple and Excel has lots of other uses.
The real trick is to have the discipline to update the information as stuff is
moved or used. (This will be true with whatever program you are using.)
