SYSTEMS & DATA
Your business relies too heavily on spreadsheets and manual databases
Critical processes running on spreadsheets, lists and workarounds that someone has to keep up to date.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
Which version of the spreadsheet is the right one?
It started as a quick list. Now the job board, the price list or the stock count lives in a spreadsheet that one person updates, others copy, and everyone hopes is current.
Today
- The master spreadsheet only one person really understands
- Copies saved by different people, each slightly different
- Figures typed in from other systems every week
- A broken formula nobody notices until the numbers look wrong
- Work stops when the owner of the spreadsheet is away
