Replace Excel with Software – No More “final_v7.xlsx”

At the latest when several people work on one file at the same time, errors become expensive or an important process depends on macros that only one person understands. Sensitive data, a lack of traceability or files that keep getting slower are also typical triggers. For quick one-off calculations, on the other hand, Excel remains a good tool – we only replace what is really worth replacing.

That depends on how many spreadsheets, roles, rules and interfaces are being replaced. A small tool that replaces a single file with clear logic is possible in the Starter package from €2,500; typical replacements with several user groups, approvals and data migration fall under the Professional package from €8,000. We quote company-wide solutions with many interfaces individually as Enterprise projects – you receive the exact quote after the free initial consultation.

We first analyze the file, formulas and workflows, then build the data model and prototype and develop the application in stages with your real data. This is followed by the verified data migration, parallel operation on request and the training of your team. The duration depends mainly on scope and data quality; you receive a schedule after the analysis.

We migrate the existing data in several test runs, clean up duplicates and inconsistent spellings together with you and compare totals and spot checks against the original file. Only when the results match does the final migration take place. The old file is kept as an archive.

Yes. If you like calculating in Excel, you can export lists and reports with one click, or automatically as a regular report on request. The difference: the data then always comes from one central, up-to-date source instead of one of many copies.

For standard tasks such as task lists or simple data collections, ready-made tools may be enough. A custom solution is worthwhile when your file contains its own calculation logic, approvals, special cases or interfaces that a standard product can only map through workarounds. Which route suits your case, we clarify together in the initial consultation.
