When Excel is enough
If one person looks after a manageable list of customers, a spreadsheet is often enough. It’s familiar, flexible and already installed.
It gets hard when several people edit the same list, new companies need to be found, or sales turn into contracts and commissions. That’s when the copying, reconciling and chasing starts.
The comparison
| Task | VendraVendra | Excel |
|---|---|---|
| Finding new companies | Every Swiss company on the map, filterable by industry | Research addresses and type them in yourself |
| Splitting territories | Regions from districts and municipalities, per team or person | Maintain a “territory” column and hope it’s right |
| Sales stages | Fixed stages with history and a lost reason | Free text or your own colour codes |
| Appointments | Calendar with the appointment on the lead | A separate calendar with no link to the list |
| Working together | Everyone works on the same data, with roles and permissions | Versions by email, or editing at the same time |
| Contracts | PDF from products and templates, with Swiss terms | Copy a Word template and type prices in by hand |
| Commissions | Calculated automatically on signing | Worked out by hand at the end of the month |
| Cost | Per active team member, monthly or yearly | Included in Microsoft 365 |
