I use it to manage purchase orders overseas and use it as a traditional product database. Anything that I would use MS-access for I use airtable instead.

On this page, https://airtable.com/templates, there's a database called "Product Catalog". Thats what I use

I find it useful for tracking people who attend music camps I run, whatever they have chosen, paid for, dietary issues etc. It’s very friendly for setting up things like Booleans, formulas, different types of data, without having to know much. It’s easy to use and easy to share with others. It’s not perfect. But it’s nice.
