Forums

Most small businesses don’t want automation. They want fewer steps.

When I talk to builders and landlords, they don t ask for AI.

They ask:

"Can I stop copying numbers into spreadsheets?"

There s a big difference between selling intelligence and removing friction.

Why do small businesses still copy invoice data in 2026?

I ve spoken to 12 small businesses this month.
9 of them still manually copy invoice totals into spreadsheets.

Not because they like it.
Because automation tools feel too complex or overkill.

Do you still manually type invoices into spreadsheets?

I ve been looking at how people track expenses for projects, and I was surprised how many still manually type supplier invoices and receipts into Google Sheets.

It feels like something that shouldn t still be normal.
Curious how many of you still track expenses this way instead of using accounting software?

What s the most annoying part of that workflow?
