How do smaller labs usually handle chemical inventory and SDS management?

I recently moved from a big university lab into a small biotech startup, and one thing I've noticed is how different chemical management looks outside of academia.

At the university we had pretty structured systems for everything—chemical inventories, SDS databases, waste procedures, storage rules, etc. It was all managed through EHS and you didn’t really think about it much because the process already existed.

At this startup it's more… informal. Most chemicals are tracked in a spreadsheet (when people remember to add them), and SDS are mostly saved in a shared drive. It works okay for now, but it does make things a bit harder when you're trying to check compatibility, track what we actually have on hand, or figure out disposal.

I’m curious how other small labs handle this. Do you usually just run a spreadsheet + shared folder setup, or do most companies eventually move to some kind of chemical management system once they hit a certain size?

Feels like one of those operational things nobody talks about until the lab starts scaling.
