Docs Reminder

Compliance tracking spreadsheet for Google Sheets

Track renewals and expiries in Google Sheets and send automatic email reminders before deadlines.

Why compliance tracking breaks in spreadsheets

Compliance tracking spreadsheets often start simple but grow complex as documents and responsibilities increase.

Without automated reminders, teams rely on memory or manual reviews. Many organizations attempt to solve this using a regulatory compliance tracking spreadsheet, but without monitoring, deadlines still slip.

  • No automatic expiry alerts
  • Deadlines buried in large sheets
  • Shared ownership confusion
  • Reactive compliance management

Why manual tracking is unreliable

Spreadsheets store dates but do not monitor them proactively.

Teams often try to send email reminders from Google Sheets using manual workflows or scripts, which increases maintenance risk.

  • No built-in reminder engine
  • Manual review required
  • No centralized monitoring
  • High human error risk

Automate your compliance tracking

Docs Reminder monitors expiry columns inside Google Sheets automatically.

It functions as an automatic email reminder system in Google Sheets that checks your sheet daily and sends alerts before renewals are due.

  • Monitor expiry date column
  • Set reminder timing
  • Automatic email alerts
  • No data migration

Common compliance use cases

A compliance tracking spreadsheet supports multiple departments and document types. It often includes elements like certificate expiration tracking and vendor renewals.

  • Vendor compliance tracking
  • Employee certifications
  • Licenses and permits
  • Insurance renewals

Manual reminders vs automated monitoring

Manual reminders depend on memory and periodic review.

Automated monitoring ensures expiry dates are checked daily and reduces the operational risk associated with spreadsheet-only tracking.

  • Lower failure risk
  • No complex setup
  • Centralized visibility
  • Proactive alerts
