Helping Project Teams
Streamline expense data collection & reporting. Manage access, track and review changes, collaborate and communicate on top of your existing spreadsheets.
The Challenges of Using Spreadsheets for Expense Reporting
Collecting expenses on projects or events is always a tedious task because it is done ambiguously and informally.
Layer helps teams become more efficient in managing expenses data and bringing them together quickly without hassle and human error.
Without layer
Endless email threads are time consuming, generate confusion and the chance to copy the wrong data.
Collecting expenses from every involved stakeholder in a project can be a mind boggling task if there's a deadline to meet - involving multiple communication channels, thus progress being hard to track.
With layer
Communication happens inside your spreadsheet
Manage all of your expense tracking and assign automated recurring tasks for data collection all from a single place—your expense report spreadsheet.
Without layer
You can't share your project spreadsheet with anyone
You are giving access to your project plans, which may include sensitive data that can't be shared with everyone and risking unwanted or accidental edits and changes to your files.
With layer
You're free to share your spreadsheet without concerns
Control what you share and the people you share it with by giving various people viewing or editing access to different parts of your files.
