The Real Difference

❌ Excel Problems

✗
Broken Formulas: One deleted row breaks everything. #REF! errors everywhere.
✗
Version Chaos: "FINAL_v3_UPDATED_USE_THIS_ONE.xlsx" - which file is current?
✗
No Validation: Anyone can type anything. Typos become permanent mistakes.
✗
Excel Expertise Required: Training new staff takes hours. One expert leaves = crisis.
✗
Not POPIA Compliant: No audit trails, no access controls, data sent via email.
✗
Manual Everything: Copying, pasting, updating totals by hand. Hours wasted.
✗
No Real-Time Data: File locked when someone's using it. Wait your turn.
