Skedji vs. Spreadsheets: Why It's Time to Upgrade
Still scheduling with Excel? Here's a side-by-side comparison showing what you're missing — and what you're risking.

We Get It — Spreadsheets Are Comfortable
You've been using Excel (or Google Sheets) for years. You've got your template dialed in. It works... kind of. But "kind of working" has a cost.
The Hidden Costs of Spreadsheets
- Your time — Hours spent building and updating schedules each week
- Errors — Double-bookings, missed shifts, wrong dates
- Communication gaps — "I didn't see the email" syndrome
- No audit trail — Good luck proving who was scheduled when
- Version chaos — Which copy of schedule_final_FINAL_v3.xlsx is the real one?
When It's Time to Upgrade
If any of these sound familiar, it's time:
- You've ever sent the wrong version of the schedule
- Shift swaps involve a chain of 5+ text messages
- You spend more than 30 minutes a week on scheduling
- An employee has said "I didn't know I was working today"
- You've lost data because someone accidentally deleted a row
Making the Switch
Moving from spreadsheets to Skedji takes about 15 minutes:
- Add your team members
- Set up your shift templates
- Build your first schedule (drag and drop!)
- Hit publish
That's it. Your team gets notified instantly, and you just saved yourself hours of work every week.
Ready to ditch the spreadsheet? Skedji makes the switch painless. Your future self will thank you.
