Spreadsheets got you here. They won't get you there.
A spreadsheet doesn't update when you sell something, clock someone in, or pay a supplier. TUKO is the system of record your growing business actually needs.
The breaking points, fixed
Every pain below is a spreadsheet problem TUKO was built to remove.
| TUKO | Spreadsheets | |
|---|---|---|
| Inventory | Stock updates automatically when orders are placed or received | Stock counts lag behind reality — updated by hand, if remembered |
| Balances | Customer and supplier balances computed from real transactions | Balances live in someone's head or a tab nobody else can read |
| Attendance | Clock-ins roll into daily summaries, corrections need approval | Logbooks and punch cards re-encoded by hand |
| Payroll | Attendance becomes pay lines; statutory deductions computed; payslips published | Formulas rebuilt every period; one broken cell, wrong payday |
| One version of truth | Everyone sees the same live data, with role-based access | Version drift — whose copy is right? |
| Mornings | A daily brief ranks the 3 actions that matter today | You open five tabs and decide for yourself |
Moving off the spreadsheet
You don't migrate a business — you switch its system of record. Import your customers, products, and opening balances by CSV. Add your team. From that day forward, orders update stock, clock-ins feed payroll, and balances compute themselves.
Keep the spreadsheets where they're good. TUKO exports CSVs for analysis, your accountant, or that one report you love. The sheet stops being the source of truth — it becomes a tool again.
Common questions
When should a small business stop using spreadsheets?
When the spreadsheet stops being a record and starts being a bottleneck: multiple people editing copies, stock counts that lag behind sales, payroll re-encoded by hand, or a version nobody trusts. If you spend more time maintaining the sheet than acting on it, you've outgrown it.
Can I move my spreadsheet data into TUKO?
Yes. TUKO imports customers, products, and opening balances by CSV, so you keep your history without re-entering it.
Do I still need spreadsheets at all?
For analysis, sure — TUKO exports to CSV whenever you want a sheet for a one-off look. The difference is that the spreadsheet stops being your system of record.
One record. Everyone's truth.
