Move from Excel or Google Sheets
Your spreadsheet got you here.
It won't get you there.
Spreadsheets are flexible and free — until your crew is bigger than you, your margin is unclear, and your invoices are late. There's a graceful exit.
What your spreadsheet won't tell you
Six blind spots, six margin leaks
Loaded labour rates
Your spreadsheet has hourly rates. It doesn't have super, leave loading, WorkCover, or the casual loading multiplier — and updating them across a hundred rows is the kind of job nobody gets to.
Equipment depreciation
A $40,000 ute and a $12,000 mower aren't a single line item — they're an ongoing cost that has to land on the right jobs. Spreadsheets can do this. They almost never do.
Per-job actuals
Quoted vs actual margin requires capturing time, materials, and equipment hours against the right job. Spreadsheets force a manual data entry step that drops on busy days.
Concurrent editing without bloodshed
Two crew, two phones, one shared sheet. Someone overwrites someone else. Eventually you go back to paper or rebuild the workflow with version control. There is another way.
Client portal and online payments
Sending a Tax Invoice from a spreadsheet involves a PDF export, an email, and a follow-up two weeks later. Bizzie sends a Stripe-paid invoice with a link.
Real-time profitability
Spreadsheets answer the margin question quarterly, in retrospect, when it's too late to do anything about it. Bizzie answers it on every job, the moment it's marked complete.
The migration
Four steps, under an hour
You don't need to start from scratch. You don't need a consultant. You just need to bring your data and a bit of patience.
- 1
Export your sheets to CSV
Clients, properties, services. One file each. We accept the messy version — duplicate columns, weird headers, blank rows. Don't clean it up first.
- 2
Drop the CSVs into Bizzie
Use the import flows in Clients and Services. Bizzie maps the columns, flags duplicates, and shows you a preview before anything lands.
- 3
Add your crew and gear
Add employees with their base rate — Bizzie applies current super, WorkCover and leave loading defaults. Add equipment with purchase price and expected life.
- 4
Quote one new job
Pick your trickiest service. Quote it in Bizzie. Compare to what your spreadsheet said. That gap is what you've been wearing.
