Why Sharing a Company Lists Fails Short – And How Nucla Excels

For many cross-functional teams—whether in innovation, partnerships, vendor management, or accelerators—spreadsheets have long been the go-to tool for managing and sharing company data. But let’s be real: as organizations scale, spreadsheets quickly become inadequate. While they may seem convenient, they bring a host of limitations that hamper collaboration, security, and efficiency.

Here’s why traditional spreadsheets aren’t working—and how Nucla redefines how your teams manage and share relationship data.

Nucla vs. Spreadsheets: The Choice Is Clear

To make it even clearer, here’s a quick comparison between spreadsheets and Nucla:

1. Spreadsheets Are Instantly Outdated

Every time you share a spreadsheet, it’s almost obsolete the moment it’s sent. Company data is dynamic—startups raise funding, leadership changes, partnerships evolve. Manually updating multiple copies wastes time, and outdated information can lead to delayed or misinformed decisions.

With Nucla: Updates happen in real time across your organization, ensuring everyone has the latest information. If an innovation team updates a recommendation, the entire organization sees it instantly—no juggling multiple versions or sending endless updates.

2. Version Control Becomes a Nightmare

Each time a spreadsheet is sent out, everyone starts making their own updates, leading to confusion and wasted time trying to reconcile different versions. It’s frustrating, and valuable time is lost tracking down the “latest” copy.

With Nucla: A centralized platform means a single source of truth for all teams. Every update is visible to everyone involved, eliminating the need for multiple versions and keeping everyone aligned.

3. Limited Security and Access Control

Let’s face it: when you email a spreadsheet, you lose control over who sees it. It can easily be forwarded or saved somewhere unintended. With no tracking, secure sharing, or access control, sensitive data is left vulnerable.

With Nucla: Secure sharing is built in, allowing you to set permissions and track who views and engages with your data. If access needs to be revoked, it can be done with a click. You can finally share with confidence, knowing your data stays safe.

4. Lack of Visibility and Engagement Insights

Spreadsheets don’t offer visibility into who’s even seen or interacted with the information, leaving you blind to what’s happening. It’s nearly impossible to follow up effectively, and strategic insights often get lost.

With Nucla: Gain actionable insights into who’s viewed and engaged with your data. You’ll know exactly when the partnerships team reviews your recommendations, helping you follow up at the right time and make data-driven decisions easier.

5. Spreadsheets Are Uninspiring and Hard to Navigate

Rows and columns of static data can be downright painful to interpret and uninspiring for sharing important insights. Teams may struggle to find what they need or miss critical information altogether.

With Nucla: Your data comes to life in an intuitive, visually engaging format that enhances collaboration. Teams can filter, search, and interact with lists dynamically—empowering smarter, faster decisions without getting bogged down in spreadsheet chaos.

6. Silos and Redundancy Across Departments

Spreadsheets end up siloed with one person or team, limiting cross-departmental visibility and creating redundancy. Without a centralized platform, different teams often duplicate efforts, wasting time and missing out on collaborative opportunities.

With Nucla: All external relationship data is stored in one place, giving everyone in the organization access to a single source of truth. This prevents redundant outreach, improves alignment, and increases productivity by reducing silos.

Discover a Better Way to Manage and Share Data with Nucla

Let’s be honest—relying on spreadsheets for partnership data management doesn’t just waste time. It introduces risk, limits visibility, and curtails collaboration. Nucla provides a centralized, dynamic, and secure platform that eliminates redundancy, drives real-time collaboration, and enhances strategic alignment across teams.
