Trilo gives you purpose-built kanban boards, calendars, time tracking, docs, and AI-enabled spreadsheets in one workspace. Choose spreadsheets for financial modeling. Choose Trilo for team project management.
Why teams leave Google Sheets
Spreadsheets are not project tools
Google Sheets and Excel have no task assignments, no kanban views, no time tracking, no dependencies. Teams build elaborate workarounds.
No communication layer
Spreadsheets have cell comments. Teams discuss the spreadsheet in Slack, update it in Sheets, and lose track of who changed what.
No AI for project management
Spreadsheet AI helps with formulas. It does not create tasks from meetings, join team conversations, or manage project timelines.
Version chaos
Even with Google Sheets, teams maintain multiple spreadsheets for different views. Project status, timelines, and budgets live in separate files.
