Keeping track of cards and certs - what do you use?

Just wondering what everyone uses to keep track of expiry dates on things like CSCS cards, first aid, insurance, etc. I've got 4 lads working for me and between them that's about 15 certs to keep tabs on.
Had a close call last month where one of my guys turned up on site with an expired CSCS card. Luckily the principal contractor didn't check that day but it could have been a nightmare.
I was using a spreadsheet but honestly I just forget to check it. Recently started using something called www.amberline.app which sends email reminders before things expire. Does the job so far but I'm only a few weeks in.
Anyone else got a system that works? Even if it's just a calendar reminder or something.

Yeah that's what I was doing before. Works fine when it's just your own stuff but it got messy when I was trying to track the lads' cards as well. Kept ending up with duplicate entries or reminders I'd snoozed and forgotten about. Each to their own though, if it works for you then stick with it.
 
Every couple of months, I need to manually put the caravan's battery on charge for a couple of days. To remind me, I set repeating reminder in MS Outlooks calendar to turn it on, then one a couple of days later to switch off. Would that do it for you?
