Excel errors hurt 94% of projects
Are you still battling project management challenges with Excel spreadsheets riddled with errors (94%)? You're not alone. Many in manufacturing rely on this "traditional tool", but at what cost?
Centralised data beats manual chaos
Is crucial project data buried in countless Excel files, leading to manual work and a lack of real-time insights? In organisations using Excel for project management, approximately 50% of employee time, including management, is spent working with Excel.
This manual effort hinders strategic tasks and can lead to data inaccuracy and a lack of transparency. Imagine the frustration of different departments with their own Excel sheets, creating silos and making it difficult to determine who has the right number. Moreover, with manual data handling, ensuring data security and compliance becomes a significant hurdle.
Boost ROI by automating Excel tasks
It's time to desire a better way. In manufacturing, 86% of managers and C-level executives agree that digitalisation is a must-have. However, surprisingly, only 45% of these companies have actually taken steps towards digital transformation.
By embracing dedicated digital solutions, you can automate tasks, access live, accurate data across the entire organisation, and significantly enhance efficiency and productivity. Businesses typically look for a return on investment within two years for digital transformation projects.
Imagine having a single source of truth, accessible in real-time, enabling better decision-making and proactive problem-solving. Remember that in the initial stages of improvement projects (define, measure, analyse), understanding the current state, where Excel often plays a significant role, constitutes 70% of the project effort.
