# Groove Guru vs a spreadsheet

Most record shops start in a spreadsheet, and it works right up to the moment two people touch the same stock, a fair runs without signal, or a record sells online while it is still in the crate on your table.

Switch when double sales, manual pricing or a growing consignment ledger start costing more time than the subscription.

Capability

Spreadsheet

Groove Guru Floor

Point of sale with receipts and VAT

Barcode, catalogue number and sleeve scanning

Works offline at fairs, syncs afterwards

Pressing-level identification and dead wax lookup

Consignment ledger with payout splits

Online-sold block so you never sell the same copy twice

Accounting export (Moneybird, Exact, DATEV, CSV)

Costs nothing

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I import my existing spreadsheet?

Yes. The CSV bridge imports stock from a spreadsheet or an export from another platform, matches identifiers and flags duplicates before anything is written to your inventory.

### Do I lose my pricing history when I switch?

No. Purchase price, sale price and margin fields come across with the import, and every sale from that point onwards is logged with its own value analysis.
