CompareThe spreadsheet got you here.
The spreadsheet got you here.
It won't reconcile you.
A sheet, a WhatsApp thread per customer, and a phone that never stops. It works — until the volume does the deciding.
What the spreadsheet does better
Two real advantages. If this is still your size, keep them.
It costs nothing
Zero a month. Until you pay for it in hours, missed follow-ups and refusals nobody measured.
Total flexibility
Any column you want, any formula you can write. No setup, no opinions, no constraints.
The COD ground, side by side
| The job | The spreadsheet | Raizn |
|---|---|---|
| COD state machine | A status column you maintain by hand. | Seven native states, from confirmed to cash collected. |
| WhatsApp confirmation | You, one chat at a time. | Built in. Confirmation before you pack, risk-scored. |
| Courier remittance ledger | A second spreadsheet, and a third for variances. | Courier cash lands in a ledger; variances flagged on import. |
| Refusal analytics | A pivot table nobody fully trusts. | Refused, unreachable, partial — each its own state, each measured. |
| Dual-rate IQD | A formula that breaks the week the rate moves. | Your own IQD rate per store, with effective dates. Cash rounds to the nearest 250. |
| ROAS on delivered cash | Not possible — ad platforms see orders, not cash. | ROAS on cash you actually collected. |
| Cost of moving | Free to start. The cost shows up around 200 orders a month. | Your design, links, Google ranking and order history move with you. We run both stores until the numbers match. |
Who should stay where
Stay on the spreadsheet if…
You're under a hundred orders a month, working solo, and you'd rather spend hours than money. That's a fair trade at that size.
Move to Raizn if…
You're hiring the second person, refusals became real money, or you reconciled a courier batch at midnight and swore it was the last time.
