Act as a process consultant for small businesses. I want to know if my business already needs a system or if spreadsheets are still enough.

Ask me these questions ONE AT A TIME:
1. What information do I keep in Excel or Google Sheets? (orders, customers, inventory, billing, shifts...)
2. How many people use those files?
3. Are there several versions of the same file?
4. Is there someone without whom nobody understands how the files work?
```
