Replacing spreadsheets
Your business runs on Excel, and only you know how it works?
Thinking about replacing your spreadsheets with software, but worried about losing what already works? Fair enough. Over the years those files have become the engine room of the business, full of clever formulas, tabs that point at other tabs and colour codes only you can read.
Online, no strings attached, no sales pitch. You'll see a blueprint within a week.
- Your own environment in Europe
- Fixed monthly price
- Live in weeks
The fix
How it works in one system
Now
- Two people in the same file at once, and somebody's work disappears.
- Several copies of the same file are doing the rounds.
- One wrong drag and a formula adds up the wrong thing.
- Anyone can see and change anything, even what isn't theirs.
Soon
- Each person signs in with their own account and sees only what their job needs.
- Everyone works in the same data at the same time, with one version.
- Formulas become rules the system works out the same way for everyone.
- Every change carries a name and a time.
Proof
How we built it for M&L Traders
M&L Traders is a UK trade portal for furniture. Products, prices and users all live in the system itself. The team can export the price list as a file, so anyone who wants a spreadsheet view can still have one. But the master copy sits in one place, and that's where everyone works. You keep the freedom of a spreadsheet and lose the risk.
