Apple Numbers a powerful but simple to use program
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Apple Numbers is used far more than excel or google, however we do use all three. we use Apple Numbers to track all our daily activities, temperature and other logs, financial analysis, customer spending trends, costing, what I find most useful is the ability to create good design, having the freedom to create a text box or any object and place it anywhere. I also use icloud to access my work from anywhere but especially useful if I have to work on other devices that are not apple. i use it to create barcodes and filing taxes with the CRA, via importing. Ultimately we use it to track everything that is not in our ERP, or information from out ERP which is Odoo
