FAQ
Switching from Excel FAQ
Can we import our existing job history from Excel?
Yes. We help you import historical job data so you don't lose visibility into past costs. Most shops get their history loaded in the first week of onboarding.
What if we need something Excel can do that Jolted doesn't?
Export any data from Jolted to Excel with one click. Use spreadsheets for one-off analysis while Jolted handles the ongoing data capture and standard reporting. You're not locked out of Excel—you just don't depend on it anymore.
How long does it take to replace our spreadsheet system?
Most shops run Jolted parallel to their spreadsheets for 2-4 weeks, then fully switch over. You'll know when the spreadsheet becomes redundant—people stop updating it because Jolted data is better.
Is Jolted hard to learn if we're used to Excel?
The interface is simpler than Excel. Workers click or scan to log time—no spreadsheet skills needed. Managers see dashboards instead of building pivot tables. Most teams are comfortable within a few days.
What happens to our data if we stop using Jolted?
Export everything. Your data is yours. We provide full export capability in standard formats (CSV, Excel) so you're never held hostage.
