Google Sheet Automations: Why use it for Small Businesses?

Why Google Sheets?

We live in a world where we are getting bombarded with new Apps capable of performing various tasks for us and are made using the latest technologies every day. As a small business owner, choosing the most powerful yet cost-effective and straightforward apps which will facilitate you to work smarter and not harder will be like finding a needle in a haystack.

Google Sheets is a versatile and extremely simple spreadsheet that we have been using since 2010 in our businesses to organize, store, track and evaluate our data effectively. It is being used for:

• data storage
• accounting and calculation purposes to keep track of expenses
• digital marketing
• create schedules and calendars
• statistical data analysis
• manage projects
• generate reports
• employee time tracking
• business administration tasks and many more activities in various businesses around the world.

Google Sheets was designed as a web application using a cloud-based architecture that enables you to collaborate with anyone, anytime, anywhere. It comes as a mobile app as well. Further, it is a very secure app to use and is compatible with many other external systems. Most importantly, it is free of charge and is an amazing tool that can gather information and provide you with valuable and straightforward insights for you to make data–driven decisions for the success of your business.

Why we need to integrate Google Sheets with other apps?

To automatically share data between multiple Apps

Even though you are just a start-up or a small business owner, you most probably have to rely on multiple web applications to perform specific functions of your organization. While these apps allow us to perform numerous functions, it is also challenging to maintain so many applications up-to-date without ending up with inaccurate or duplicate data. You may have to enter the same data set again and again too.

Application integrations can solve this need to move the same data set between several applications by entering the data set to one application and connecting that application to others. Once connected, data will automatically get distributed between relevant applications in a scheduled manner or upon a specific triggering event. The biggest advantage is, integrations allow you to automate repetitive, time-consuming, and monotonous tasks.

To automate sending of Emails, backing up data…

When integrations are used, you will have accurate data sets in all of your applications, and you can avoid manual copy-paste activities and the need to send Emails back and forth. Integrating apps with Google Sheets allows you to keep a reserved version of the app’s data as backup storage too. You will be able to share your data across all parties instantly, which leads to good coordination among your teams. Your staff will be motivated and more committed and the productivity of your organization will improve in no time.

Though Google sheets itself is a versatile tool that can be used for various tasks, we can further increase its performance tremendously by integrating with other applications. The outcome will unquestionably add value to your organization and your growth will be accelerated.
