    Benefits vs Excel for Classification Projects

    📃We often hear from potential clients about the roadblocks they face trying to use Microsoft Excel for their classification projects - one of the most common ways that teams attempt to organically manage their classification outside of a PLM solution. 

     

    📼 In this video, we cover:

    • Key challenges in managing the organization of the data in Excel and attempting to share it with key product managers to collect feedback
    • A demonstration of better (and easier!👍) ways to execute many of those Excel-challenged activities using Design for Retrieval (DFR) - our SaaS parts classification software and relational database.
    • An overview of DFR and some key use cases
    • Excel shortcomings many companies experience and how DFR helps mitigate them
