Why is managing manufacturing product data in spreadsheets a problem?

Managing product data in spreadsheets creates multiple versions with different information, no version control, and no way to validate completeness. When engineering updates a spec, marketing doesn’t know; when marketing updates a description, sales uses the old version. This leads to incorrect customer information, returns, and time wasted reconciling differences. Spreadsheets also can’t handle complex relationships like BOMs, variants, or multi-language content without manual rework, this is why PIM for manufacturing solutions like OdooPIM exist. IDC research shows knowledge workers spend 2.5 hours daily just searching for information, spreadsheets are a major cause of that lost productivity.
