Unless it's an NPC that joins the party, most NPCs aren't around long enough to bother with tracking anything. If they're carrying rations, arrows, etc., I'll determine that (usually randomly, but sometimes determined by story) and write that up in the handout where I list the loot that the PCs find at the end of the encounter. As for spell slots and abilities with limited uses, it's faster for me to use a physical scratch pad & pencil, although most encounters don't last long enough to bother (other than boss encounters).
Edit: If an NPC ends up travelling with the PCs, I generate a full character sheet for them.
This isnt just for NPCs, its for enemies too. The sheet used is called the NPC sheet.

I'm aware. All "monsters" and antagonists in RPGs are referred to as NPCs.
