Construction software vs Excel

Keep the spreadsheet structure. Remove the work of reconciling it.

Excel is excellent for calculating and modeling individual information. The problem begins when several people must approve, update and relate that information to procurement, expenses, tasks and documents across months of execution.

A spreadsheet fails when it must become a shared process.

More formulas and tabs do not solve permissions, ownership, revisions and relationships between teams.

01

Multiple copies

Each participant saves a version and the team spends time confirming which contains the latest change.

02

Manual history

Understanding a change requires reviewing messages, files and comments outside the cell.

03

Fragile relationships

Orders, expenses and payments are joined through formulas or identifiers that break when information is copied.
