Why organisations switch from Excel to GRIP
Every month, hours are lost manually verifying calculations, searching for the right version of a spreadsheet and debating invoice discrepancies. With Financial Management in GRIP Facility, calculations, indexations and invoice verification become part of one shared system.
Excel vs. GRIP Facility Financial Management
Why dozens of organisations have made the switch.
| Topic | Excel / manual | GRIP Financial Management |
|---|---|---|
| Calculations | Manual formulas, error-prone, no audit trail | Automatically calculated based on contract agreements |
| Indexations | Manually applied per contract, easily forgotten | One click for all contracts, traceable and approved |
| Invoice verification | Comparing with spreadsheet, missing discrepancies | Automatically compared with contract amounts, alerts included |
| Modifications | Emails back and forth, no financial overview | Approval workflow with direct financial impact |
| Collaboration | Sharing files, version conflicts, unclear status | Client and service provider on the same platform |
| Reporting | Manual overviews, data from multiple sources | Real-time dashboards, costs per location and per contract |
| Continuity | Knowledge resides with one person, files get lost | Everything centralised, handover to successor in minutes |
