Google Sheets is useful for shared lists, but costume inventory quickly becomes more complex than a collaborative spreadsheet. Dance Vault gives dance schools and costume teams a dedicated system for photos, locations, categories, reservations, checkouts and reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why teams outgrow Google Sheets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the costume collection grows, Google Sheets often becomes a maze of tabs, filters, comments and color codes. It can be hard to keep photos connected to the right item, know what is reserved, and track whether a costume is checked out, damaged or stored in the right place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
