Why Google Sheets Is Not a Reliable FMS for Jewelry Factories

The Manual Labor of Spreadsheets

Many jewelry factories start by managing workflows on Google Sheets. It's free and seems easy, but it quickly becomes a major bottleneck. Staff spend hours manually updating statuses, copying data, and trying to make sense of messy, inconsistent entries. This isn't just inefficient; it's risky.

Key Failures of Google Sheets:

• No Real-Time Tracking: Data is only as current as the last manual update. You never have a live view of your factory floor.
• High Risk of Human Error: A single wrong entry, a deleted formula, or an accidental copy-paste can corrupt your entire production plan.
• No Accountability: It's hard to track who made what change and when. Assigning responsibility for delays or errors is nearly impossible.
• Poor Scalability: As your orders and team grow, the spreadsheet becomes slower, more complex, and eventually unusable. It cannot handle multi-department workflows.
• Lack of Security: Sensitive production and design data is often accessible to anyone with the link, creating a major security risk.

The FUYA FMS Advantage

A dedicated Factory Management System (FMS) like FUYA Tasks or FUYA Workflow solves these problems. It provides a secure, real-time, and automated environment where tasks are tracked automatically, approvals are digitized, and every action is logged. It eliminates manual data entry, providing managers and owners with accurate, live dashboards to make informed decisions. It's the professional solution for scaling a jewelry business without the chaos.
