One current version
Everyone uses the same inventory instead of emailing copies and resolving conflicting edits.
Less manual upkeep
Scan labeled stock or select it in LAIMA and let live quantities and activity history update together.
Spreadsheets store rows; LAIMA supports the workflow
A spreadsheet cannot reliably show who moved an item, alert the right team before expiry, or link scanned and manually selected consumption with project costs. LAIMA keeps those actions connected.
Migrate gradually and keep an exit path
Import a clean subset first, establish your location structure, and expand when the team is ready. Data exports remain available whenever you need them.
FAQ
Common questions
Can we upload Excel and CSV files?
Yes. LAIMA provides spreadsheet templates for bulk inventory import.
Can we export our inventory later?
Yes. Your records remain yours and can be exported for analysis, sharing, or migration.
Will every user see the same data?
Teams work from one current system, with role-based access controlling who can view, edit, consume, or manage records.
Must we label everything before leaving spreadsheets?
No. Labels make scanning faster, but users can select a catalog product manually and record consumption without printing a code.
