We are in 2023 and you are still managing your staffing on Excel ? It is high time to end it ! Excel is a bit like Cinderella's pumpkin. It can give the illusion of being a carriage, but quickly. its true nature Gains the upper hand... And does not allow you to go to the end of your path. Napta takes stock of the advantages of choosing its solution, THE reference staffing software.

What appeals to businesses when we talk about Excel

Of course, when you start, you have to work with your budget. That's why Excel, or its connected brother Google Sheet, are favored by businesses starting their business. The arguments in their favor are multiple:

  • It is flexible and free (for Google Sheet at least);
  • It can store an unlimited database;
  • It allows data to be organized and cross-referenced in dynamic tables;
  • It can be easily shared to a third party, etc.

However, everything is not so rosy...

Recall that originally, the objective of Staffing software Is dEnsure the creation of the most relevant project teams to successfully complete a project. However, Excel does not meet this definition in any way! As soon as you use it for staffing management, you realize that:

  1. No collaboration possible. Indeed, an Excel file can only be worked on by one person. Result? The file is exchanged an innumerable number of times... We no longer know which one is good, the data is updated without any consultation... This is the door open to manual errors that will affect the smooth running of your staffing process.
  2. An unlimited database kills data. Quickly, you have to read X tabs, not touch such data, see your own altered, scattered or lost... In the long run, they are no longer reliable or usable.

➡️ The lack of data security And their disorganization are harmful to your staffing. You should therefore turn to solutions that are designed FOR your staffing and not try to create it yourself...
