Question 1

Can I use Ocuula alongside my existing spreadsheets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Ocuula's API can be called from Google Sheets or Excel using custom scripts. Many teams start by running Ocuula in parallel with their spreadsheet system, comparing results, then switching over once they're confident in the automation.

Question 2

How much time does Ocuula save compared to spreadsheets?

Accepted Answer

Teams typically report saving 10-20 hours per month on payment reconciliation and split calculations. The larger the volume, the more significant the savings — a finance team processing 500+ payouts per month can reclaim an entire work week.

Question 3

What happens to rounding errors when switching from spreadsheets?

Accepted Answer

Spreadsheets use floating-point arithmetic which introduces rounding errors on multi-way splits. Ocuula uses integer arithmetic (pesewas) with automatic remainder collection, guaranteeing zero rounding loss. This typically recovers 0.5-1.5% of volume that was previously lost to rounding.

Question 4

Do I need to rebuild my existing split logic from scratch?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. Ocuula supports preset-based splits (percentage, fixed, waterfall, tiered, direct debit) that cover 90%+ of common scenarios. For custom logic, routing rules can match on amount brackets, recipient tiers, or metadata. The sandbox lets you test your exact scenarios before migrating.
