Your spreadsheet can't tell you which machine is losing money.
You started with Excel because it was free. Now it's costing you hours every week and hiding the numbers that matter.

Where Vendric wins
Commission day: 1 click vs 4 hours
In a spreadsheet, you pull data, match transactions to locations, apply different commission rates, handle deductions, format a report, and email it. In Vendric, you click "Generate Report." Done.
Per-machine profitability in seconds
In a spreadsheet, calculating profit per machine means cross-referencing sales, expenses, commissions, and VAT across multiple tabs. In Vendric, it's a dashboard you open.
No more formula errors
One wrong cell reference in a spreadsheet can throw off your entire P&L. Vendric uses integer math with zero floating-point errors. Your numbers are always right.
Your data is always safe
Spreadsheets have no audit trail — anyone can edit a cell and the original value is gone. Vendric stores immutable transaction records. Original vendor data preserved verbatim.
Where Spreadsheets wins
Free and familiar
Everyone knows how to use Excel or Google Sheets. There's no learning curve and no monthly cost. For a single machine, a spreadsheet genuinely works fine.
Total flexibility
You can build anything in a spreadsheet. Custom reports, ad-hoc calculations, one-off analyses. Vendric covers common vending workflows but won't replace every spreadsheet.

Your spreadsheet is your first import. Most operators upload their existing data and are running in under an hour.
