Excel spreadsheets don't send automated WhatsApp reminders, calculate electricity submeters, or verify Aadhaar eKYC in 60 seconds.
While spreadsheets are free to begin with, they become a massive operational liability when your property scales past 25 beds. Manual formula entry causes rent miscalculations, while lack of automated communication leaves owners chasing late payers every night.
Switch to PG Master to automate your billing pipeline, eliminate spreadsheet formula breakages, and recover rent 3x faster via automated WhatsApp links.
