Manually copy and pasting KPI data from 78 spreadsheets

Time consuming to manually transfer all startup data
Human input caused major data mistakes
Inefficient process led to outdated reports

The team at WOW Accelerator was looking for a way to completely transform and streamline their existing reporting process to analyze startups. Up until this moment, they were manually copy and pasting startup KPI data from various spreadsheets and emails and consolidating them into batches to generate reports. This manual effort was causing problems not only by creating a lot of data inaccuracies, but the time-consuming process meant that by the time the reports were ready, they were already outdated.

“As an Accelerator, one of my roles is to organize the KPI reports for each startup. Doing this manually by copying and pasting was taking up too much time – it was not productive in any way.”

WOW Accelerator reached out to Sheetgo for a unique KPI reporting system that would automate the consolidation of KPI data, as well as the organization of this data to generate reports seamlessly. They were particularly looking for a way to save them loads of hours of work which they could then use to focus on analyzing these reports to help improve startup strategies.
