Nothing is catastrophically wrong — and that's the problem. Everything is just slightly out of control, all the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e**Creative Studio Stock Command** is a complete gear, consumables, and licensed asset inventory system built in Excel and Google Sheets. It was designed specifically for working photographers and videographers managing real kit across real client engagements — not a generic inventory template repurposed from a retail store.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e**🎛️ WHAT'S INSIDE**\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e**Full Gear Inventory Register**\u003cbr\u003eEvery piece of equipment gets its own record: make, model, serial number, purchase date, purchase price, condition, and assigned location or kit. You'll finally have a single source of truth for every body, lens, light, modifier, tripod, audio rig, and support item your studio owns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e**Depreciation Tracker**\u003cbr\u003eKnow what your gear is actually worth today — not what you paid for it. The depreciation module calculates current book value automatically based on the asset class and age you define, giving you real numbers for tax purposes, resale decisions, and insurance conversations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e**Insurance Valuation Dashboard**\u003cbr\u003ePull your total insured value in seconds. The dashboard aggregates current replacement cost and depreciated book value across your full inventory, so when your broker asks what your policy should cover, you have a defensible, itemized answer — not a rough guess.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e**Client Kit Assignment Log**\u003cbr\u003eAssign gear to specific client jobs or kit packages and track what's out, what's in, and what's overdue for return. Whether you're running separate kits for different shooters or building custom packages per project, the assignment log keeps everything accountable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e**Consumables Inventory with Reorder Triggers**\u003cbr\u003eBatteries, memory cards, gels, tape, cleaning supplies, expendables — the stuff that quietly runs out between jobs. Set your own minimum stock thresholds and the sheet flags what needs to be reordered before it becomes a problem on set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e**Licensed Software and Subscription Tracker**\u003cbr\u003eAdobe, Frame.io, Capture One, music licensing, cloud storage, plugin subscriptions — every seat, every renewal date, every cost, in one place. No more surprise charges and no more scrambling to remember what you're paying for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e**Gear Condition and Maintenance Log**\u003cbr\u003eLog condition notes, service history, and wear flags per item.
