    Excel is fine for warehousing, but it's not super easy to navigate without tons of way too complex macros and you can't have multiple edit sessions on one file.

    I'd just use like a Postgres instance with something like Metabase for active tracking of part status with some basic CRUD scripts set up to buttons on dashboards for each car section or something.

    Maybe a Wekan or something for active tracking of part production and general activity stuff.

      I'm of the mind that if the thing you're doing is too large or complicated to use Excel, then it doesn't need doing.

      Too many parts and systems in your car for excel to be navigable? Car needs fewer parts and systems.

      Too many guys in your military to fit on an excel sheet? Your military needs to be smaller.
