From Excel to payroll software: practical migration guide
Why spreadsheets become risky
Payroll spreadsheets are flexible, but they are hard to audit, hard to secure and easy to break. As soon as the team grows, manual formulas create compliance and payment risks.
Migration steps
What to automate first
Start with gross-to-net calculation, payslip generation, bank exports and social declarations. These steps give the fastest reliability gain.
Conclusion
A controlled migration turns payroll into a predictable process instead of a monthly emergency.
