Almost every company starts in spreadsheets, and that is fine. The trouble begins when the sheet becomes the system.

The warning signs

  • Several people edit the same file and nobody trusts the latest version.
  • The same data is typed into two or three places.
  • Reports take a day to prepare by hand.
  • New team members need a long explanation to use the sheet.
  • A broken formula once cost you money or a customer.

What to do next

You rarely need a huge ERP. Often a small dashboard or portal built around your own process removes most of the pain within a few weeks.
