Lebnara vs Excel and Notebooks
Excel is an excellent tool to start with, and many farm and factory owners begin with it. But it becomes a burden as the herd grows or workers and products multiply. Here is a frank comparison.
The comparison
| What you need | Excel / notebook | Lebnara |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per kilo of cheese | By hand, and often from milk alone | Automatic for every batch with fixed costs |
| Vaccination and calving dates | You have to remember them | Alerts before the date |
| More than one user | Multiple conflicting copies | One team with permissions and an activity log |
| Working from a phone | Hard | Designed for mobile and installable as an app |
| Customer debts | A separate notebook | A balance per customer and WhatsApp reminders |
| Data loss | If the device fails | An automatic weekly backup |
| Cost | Free | From $5 per month, and registration is free |
