Spreadsheets have been the backbone of business for a long time. They’re reliable, straightforward, and who doesn’t feel a little proud when a tricky formula finally works out?

But here’s the catch: about 90% of businesses are still leaning on old-school spreadsheets for tasks that really need something more. That means things can slow down, and there’s a bigger chance for mistakes to slip through.

Sound familiar? Maybe you’ve spent more time than you’d like fixing typos, tracking down the latest version, or just entering data over and over. It’s frustrating, and you’re definitely not the only one dealing with it.

Even though 82% of businesses have automation on their radar, only 43% are planning to put it in place this year. So most companies are still wrestling with the same spreadsheet headaches, when there are easier ways to get things done.

So, what could automation do for you?

Instead of pouring hours into manual updates and endless double-checks, automation can take care of data entry, processing, and reporting. You get fewer mistakes, less time wasted, and real-time info at your fingertips.

Plus, most automation tools have solid security built right in. That means you can control who sees what, giving you peace of mind along with productivity.

We get it, spreadsheets feel comfortable, and making a change can seem daunting. But hanging on to outdated tools is often what keeps your business from growing.

The good news? You don’t have to flip a switch and change everything all at once. Start small. Pick one area, like payment tracking, customer info, or reporting, where automation could take some stress off your plate.

Once you see how much smoother things run, you’ll wonder why you waited.
