Why Excel falls short for contract tracking

Excel is exceptional at what it does. Contract renewal tracking isn't what it does.

No automatic alerts

Excel won't email you when a contract is about to expire. You'd need Power Automate, a shared mailbox, and hours of setup - and it still breaks when someone edits the wrong cell.

Version conflicts

Shared Excel files are a recipe for conflict. Who has the latest version? Has someone saved over your changes? One wrong edit and your renewal dates are wrong.

Manual MRR calculation

Knowing your monthly recurring revenue from an Excel sheet requires formulas, filters, and manual updates. With Expiro it's calculated automatically and always current.
