Will I lose my formulas?

Formulas do not move as formulas. Your AI turns the ones that matter into formula fields, automations or reports, so the system computes the result instead of a formula copied down a column. You can keep Google Sheets for one-off analysis.

Can several people work at the same time?

Yes. Everyone works on the same database through their own screens, so there are no copies to merge. Users are free, and roles and permissions decide who sees and edits each table.

What happens to the history in my old files?

Import past years as rows with their dates, so old and new data sit in the same tables and your reports cover both. Keep the original files as an archive if you want.

How much does Gufi cost compared with Google Sheets?

Google Sheets usually comes with an office suite. Gufi is priced differently: users are free and the company pays for the use of the platform, so adding people to the system does not add seats.

Common Google Sheets Limitations

Issues that lead teams to explore alternatives.

One list, many copies

When several people keep the same data in Google Sheets, copies multiply across files, tabs and email, and nobody is sure which one is current.

Anyone can change any row

Sharing in Google Sheets works on the file, with protected ranges at most. Letting each salesperson see and edit only their own clients, or hiding costs from one team, means splitting the file.

Nothing happens on its own

Formulas calculate, but reminders, follow-ups, stock alerts and status changes depend on someone opening Google Sheets, unless you write and maintain scripts or macros.

Every row typed by hand

Every order, client and status in Google Sheets is typed or pasted by hand. One wrong cell, a broken formula or a column sorted without its neighbours can change the numbers without anyone noticing.
