How to interpret the result
The total cost adds routine work on Excel and an indicative share of rework according to the error frequency you indicate. It does not include licences or software projects. Use the figure to decide whether the process deserves a more detailed analysis.
What does working with Excel really cost?
Beyond the visible time, there are usually copies between files, cross-checks and corrections when someone finds an out-of-date figure. That cost rarely appears in a budget, but it consumes hours every week.
When Excel starts to fall short
Too many files appear, several people edit the same information, data is duplicated, stock or price errors occur, reports are manual and it is hard to know which version is correct in real time.
Excel or management software
Excel is flexible and familiar. Management software or an ERP provides a single source of data, permissions and traceability. The decision depends on volume, the number of people involved and how much each error or delay costs.
When it makes sense to centralise the process
When the same data lives in many spreadsheets, reports take days or the team grows and the process does not scale, it is worth considering centralisation. In custom ERP and in solutions you can see how we approach integration and software adapted to the real process.
Frequently asked questions
Are the figures exact?
No. They are indicative estimates based on people, hours, hourly cost, files and how often corrections are needed. They help to compare magnitudes, not as an accounting audit.
Why are 48 weeks a year used?
It is the same basis as Andruma's other calculators: it approximates working weeks without counting holidays and public holidays, so the annual figure is comparable.
Does this mean we should stop using Excel?
Not necessarily. Excel fits many uses. The calculator helps you see whether a specific process concentrates too much manual work or too many files.
Can Andruma review our case?
Yes. After the report you can request a free analysis. We review the real flow and propose integration, automation or centralisation according to what fits.
