NeedsPage or a spreadsheet for coordinating needs?

Choose based on who needs to act on the information and how quickly availability changes.

A spreadsheet can be enough

A small internal list with one coordinator and a stable group can work well in a spreadsheet. You control the columns and can adapt the process without a new subscription.

A public signup page adds a different workflow

NeedsPage gives supporters a page to browse and a signup form without an account. Item commitments and confirmed payments reserve the remaining quantity. Staff keep follow-up details private.

Decide with a small trial

Use one real need to compare the time spent maintaining availability, collecting contact details, and explaining next steps. Keep the spreadsheet if it already meets your needs.
