Panzo vs spreadsheets and WhatsApp
The honest baseline most Indian interior firms start from, and what changes once projects multiply.
Most interior and fit-out firms run on Excel, WhatsApp groups and memory. It works, and it is fast, until projects multiply. Then follow-ups slip, quote revisions get confused, and the money surprises you at month-end.
Panzo keeps that same speed but puts one owner, one trail and one number behind every enquiry, quote and payment. Nothing lives in a chat thread that only one person can find.
| Capability | Panzo | Spreadsheets & WhatsApp |
|---|---|---|
| Single source of truth | One connected pipeline, leads to aftercare | Scattered files and chat threads |
| Quote revisions | Versioned with a clear approval trail | Manual copies, easily confused |
| GST on billing | Milestone billing with GST computed (CGST/SGST/IGST) and a filing register | Hand-built, easy to get wrong |
| Follow-ups | Owned, scheduled and visible | Remembered, often missed |
| Cash visibility | Project P&L, receivables and payables live | Reconciled by hand at month-end |
| Client updates | Client portal plus WhatsApp share links | Ad-hoc messages |
We only compare where we can be fair. Capabilities we could not verify for the alternative are left out rather than guessed.
