AerQio vs Spreadsheets
Excel got you started. It won't get you far.
Hundreds of agencies run their bookings out of a spreadsheet. Here's exactly what an agency gains — and loses — by moving to a system built for the job.
| Task | Spreadsheet | AerQio |
|---|---|---|
| Booking status tracking | Manual, one row per booking, easy to overwrite by mistake | Dedicated booking record with status, history and audit trail |
| Branded PDF invoices | Separate template file, manual copy-paste, no numbering control | One click, sequential numbering, your logo and colours |
| BSP / MIR reconciliation | Manually match each MIR line against your bookings | Upload the MIR file — bookings are matched automatically |
| Client history & CRM | Scattered across tabs, hard to search, no follow-up reminders | Full client profile, returning-client detection, automated follow-ups |
| Multiple people editing at once | Version conflicts, accidental deletions, no per-user permissions | Built for teams — roles for agents, managers and admins |
| Quick to start | Free and familiar — no setup needed | Ready in under 10 minutes |
“BSP reconciliation alone saves us four hours every single month. The MIR upload is magic — it matches everything automatically.”
