Comparison · Spreadsheets
Spreadsheets vs Factu for missing invoices.
A spreadsheet can list pending items. It struggles when it also has to send, remind, receive, and validate.
Spreadsheets
Useful for quick inventory and manual reporting, but easy to let drift.
Factu
Every request has supplier, cadence, events, received invoice, and review.
Practical decision
Keep spreadsheets for analysis, not as the operating engine.
Factu
Saturation signs
- States nobody updates.
- Duplicate supplier rows.
- Reminders without history.
- PDFs saved outside context.
Move follow-up out of the spreadsheet.
