I work in Motorsports and a parts tracking database is an actual unsolved problem with each team building it's own bespoke solution. It's also kinda unique because your simulation tool is connected to the parts database and part of the tool has to work offline for running simulations in the plane.
I'm not really a database person so never really understood why off the shelf solutions aren't typically used here.
I'm guessing Williams probably just didn't have the budget to build one and didn't know any better so they used Excel.
