NetSuite vs Spreadsheets head to head

It is the battle of the century. It's the Hulk Hogan vs The Ultimate Warrior of the NetSuite world.

Spreadsheets feel free, they are not. The main cost is the extra time of someone manually keying data in every month. How much is that costing you. The person manually consolidating data needs to be paid. This could be for days of work or even weeks of additional work. That is not just an extra thousand pounds a month. This can mount up and accumulate.

Before long you are waiting tens of thousands of pounds on hours lost to manual work that could be automated. This is one of just 3 areas that spreadsheets are quietly costing you money. The other 2 can be much more damaging.

Errors that don’t show until month end or later

Decisions delayed because there is not full trust in the numbers

Most people think NetSuite and spreadsheets do they same job, they don’t

Spreadsheets need manual updates, confusion in the data and one person holding the knowledge

NetSuite has real time data, one source of truth and no single point of failure

When does the switch make sense?

when you spend more time maintaining a workaround than the whole job should take

when growth means more spreadsheets, not less

This is not just a software upgrade, you are buying risk and time back

Your spreadsheet is not free, its just charging you hours instead of pounds
