Contrary to the name, Excel is only good at one thing: organizing information. As a spreadsheet tool, it’s not ideal for anything other than creating a database and running basic calculations, yet too many manufacturers still rely on it as their product configurator.
Excel is a nightmare to maintain and it often results in costly errors from mis-keyed entries or incompatible product options. But despite these drawbacks, many manufacturers have relied on the software for decades, and may be hesitant to change.
Technology has come a long way since the advent of Excel, and it’s time for sales teams to realize what they’re missing out on by sticking to manual processes.
