What are spreadsheets costing your business?
Spreadsheets are cheap to buy and expensive to run. The real cost is the time your team loses and the work that slips through the cracks. Put in your own numbers and see the yearly total.
Manual updates, hunting for information, fixing errors, re-entering data.

Why spreadsheets cost more than the licence fee
The spreadsheet itself is nearly free, which is exactly why the real cost stays hidden. It shows up instead as time: the hours spent updating, reconciling versions, hunting for a customer's history, and fixing the formula someone broke. It also shows up as lost work, the quote never followed up and the customer who went cold, because a spreadsheet reminds you of nothing. Put a value on those and the number is usually far bigger than any software you would replace it with.
