Say goodbye to spreadsheets: How Movement simplifies trade union administration
For trade union representatives, administration can feel like a never-ending task. From tracking member data to managing financial records and organising campaigns, you might often find yourself relying on spreadsheets to keep things running. While spreadsheets have been a staple for years, they come with significant limitations: they’re time-consuming, prone to errors, and difficult to collaborate on effectively.
But what if you could leave the world of spreadsheets behind? Movement’s software is designed to revolutionise how trade unions operate, offering an all-in-one solution that saves time, reduces errors, and empowers reps to focus on what really matters—supporting their members.
Why spreadsheets hold you back
For many trade union reps, spreadsheets might seem like an easy choice, but they come with hidden drawbacks:
Complexity and inefficiency: Managing thousands of rows of data can quickly become overwhelming. Sorting, filtering, and updating information manually takes hours of your time—hours better spent advocating for members.
Prone to errors: A single typo or miscalculation in a spreadsheet can lead to inaccuracies in member records or financial data, creating headaches down the line.
Lack of collaboration: When multiple people need to access or update data, spreadsheets can cause bottlenecks, with version control issues and inconsistent updates.
No scalability: As your union grows, so does the complexity of managing data. Spreadsheets simply aren’t designed to handle the needs of modern organisations.
