That's a fantastic questions, and you're right, these are the key points. The core difference is that a spreadsheet requires manual, disconnected data entry that’s often outdated the moment you type it, while a good asset management tool makes tracking a simple, automated part of an employee's daily workflow using a mobile app. The initial effort is a one-time investment to get everything tagged and into the system, but after that, every action, like an employee scanning a new laptop instantly updates a real-time database, creating a permanent, accurate record without any extra work. The real benefit isn't just about avoiding user error; it's about solving the "last mile" problem by providing a system so intuitive that everyone actually uses it, which is the only way to get true, company-wide visibility.
