Spreadsheets have been the backbone of business operations for years. They’re familiar, flexible, and sometimes even make us feel like data wizards — especially when that tricky formula finally works.
But here’s the catch: most businesses are still relying on outdated spreadsheets for critical tasks, and it’s creating more problems than it solves.
Manually entering data. Fixing small errors that cause big issues. Wondering if the file you’re using is the most up-to-date version. Sound familiar?
You’re not alone.
The numbers tell the story:
- 90% of businesses still rely heavily on spreadsheets
- 82% have automation on their roadmap
- Yet only 43% plan to act on it within the next year
That means many companies are stuck with slow, error-prone systems when faster, smarter options are readily available.
What Can Automation Do for You?
Imagine eliminating hours of manual data entry, reducing errors, and having access to real-time updates — all without lifting a finger. Automation tools can handle repetitive tasks like:
- Collecting and syncing data
- Generating reports
- Tracking payments or customer activity
They also include built-in security controls, ensuring sensitive data stays protected and that the right people have the right level of access.
Still Using Spreadsheets?
We get it — change can be uncomfortable. Spreadsheets feel familiar. But relying on outdated methods is likely slowing your team down and exposing your business to risk.
The good news? You don’t need to transform everything at once.
Start small. Pick one area — like reporting, invoicing, or CRM updates — and explore how automation could streamline that workflow. Once you see the results, scaling up will feel like a no-brainer.
