Danger: Manual Methods

Why Excel and Videos aren't enough for your home inventory

An Excel spreadsheet or a video on your phone gives you a false sense of security. On the day of a real disaster, these manual methods will betray you.

The 3 Fatal Flaws of local methods

1. Simultaneous Destruction

Your notebook or computer burns with the house. If your phone is stolen, your inventory video disappears with it.

2. Missing proof of purchase

The insurer won't reimburse based on a blurry video of a TV. They demand receipts linked to each item. This is impossible to manage in Excel.

3. Immediate Obsolescence

Who updates their Excel file after buying a new watch? Nobody. A static inventory is useless.
