Spreadsheet or KANDINSKY: which suits dealers?

A spreadsheet is flexible, usually part of tools you already pay for, and suits a small stock sold in one place. KANDINSKY keeps photos, prices and sold status in one inventory that updates your website and channels, from €10 a month. You can import your spreadsheet as a CSV or Excel file.
