I don't see a need to do this for little stuff like screws and tye wraps, but actual part numbered spares would be nice.

I dont want software because then I have to keep it up to date with the software company. A spreadsheet is pretty backwards compatible.
Why not screws and tie wraps? And batteries? Yes, you buy them in bulk, but to me sometimes that tends to make me less likely to realize it's time to buy more.

Spreadsheet works, although you can get a cheap software program and never worry about updating it with the software company. Only time that can haunt you is years later when Microsoft updates to a Windows version it's not compatible with. Spreadsheet works fine though as long as one regularly reviews it and looks for things they're out of or what they have is dangerously old. Impellers are the first thing I think of in the latter group.
