Common Spreadsheet Problems

We hear these complaints from businesses who switch from spreadsheets to MyHazMate.

❌ Expired SDS Documents

"We got caught with expired SDS during an inspection. The spreadsheet said it was fine but the formula was wrong."

❌ Version Confusion

"We had three different versions of the register and nobody knew which was current. Total mess."

❌ Manual Data Entry

"Adding a new chemical takes 10 minutes. Look up the details, find the SDS, type everything in..."

❌ No Mobile Access

"When I'm on site, I can't properly access the register on my phone. The spreadsheet is unusable."

❌ Emergency Situations

"During a spill, we couldn't quickly get the SDS. The file was on someone's computer who wasn't there."

❌ Nobody Updates It

"The spreadsheet is always out of date because updating it is a hassle. New products never get added."
