| Client approval workflows | Structured review with snapshot per approval | Email attachments with no audit trail |
| Cross-project analytics | Portfolio-wide spend & rebate tracking | Impossible without massive manual effort |
| Team collaboration (live) | Role-based access, real-time updates | Conflicting versions, no permission control |
| Financial reconciliation | Requested vs invoiced vs paid | Manual matching across multiple sheets |
Spreadsheets feel familiar and free. But a single pricing error in a shared Excel file can compound across every project referencing it — and in an industry with slim margins, that's a risk most firms can't absorb. Fohlio imports directly from Excel so migration takes hours, not weeks.
Fohlio's bulk upload from Excel and PDF means your existing catalog, specs, and supplier data move over intact. You don't start from zero — you start with everything you've already built, now in a platform that actually works for it.
One project in Excel is manageable. Ten projects is chaos. For hospitality owners managing 30+ properties, the data quality problem from spreadsheets costs millions in missed rebates and pricing errors annually. Fohlio clients have documented $600K–$900K in estimated savings across 32 locations.
“I'm in love with Fohlio! I recommend it to everybody. It's such a time saving tool — the more you use it, the more time you save. If you have ever dealt with more than one spreadsheet to do your job, you need Fohlio!”
See how Fohlio replaces your entire spreadsheet workflow — spec, procurement, approvals, and reporting — in one platform your whole team will actually use.
