Reporting
Accelerate Reporting With Google Sheets
Helping Analysts & Managers
Turn any reporting task into a collaborative exercise. Manage access, track and review changes, collaborate and communicate on top of your Google Sheets.
The challenges of using spreadsheets when presenting insights
You don't have to create a separate spreadsheet every time you want to prevent stakeholders from accessing your report source data.
Layer helps you keep the source and insights data on the same file in just a few clicks.
Without layer
Your reporting files may include sensitive data that can't be shared with everyone.
When sensitive source data is part of the shared spreadsheet report, every end-user can ultimately access it.
With layer
No more lengthy Slack or email threads with back-and-forth attachments.
Give access to individual tabs or ranges of your reporting file.
Without layer
Reviewing input can be time consuming.
Reviewing data submissions takes a lot of time and is error-prone, with errors often being identified too late.
With layer
Data review and consolidation can be simple.
Quickly review any proposed changes, and decide on which parts to accept.
Layer will automatically consolidate the updated data into your master file. No more copy-pasting!
Without layer
Managing regular reporting can quickly become daunting.
Keeping track of deadlines and work progress is wild and dull, primarily when depending on others' inputs.
With layer
No need to hit the reset button on every reporting cycle.
Set it up once, set it to repeat and stakeholders will receive an update when the time comes.

Other Ways to Use Layer
Keep Google Sheets. Explore other ways teams can make better use of spreadsheets for collaborative processes.
Budgeting is a highly collaborative process. Input is collected from various stakeholders, and the budget needs to be shared with management, investors, and departments.
You need to have control over your data and processes to avoid having numerous versions of files sent back and forth.
Predicting how a business will perform in the future requires different teams to contribute in the form of historical data and assumptions.
Granting full edit rights to several contributors takes control away from what goes on in your spreadsheet.
“Personally, Layer reduced my stress levels quite a lot. Overall, it improved the data collation aspect and significantly reduced the manual errors as a result of copying and pasting data between different spreadsheets.”
