Simplifying work.

Modernizing Excel for enterprise scale.

Cloud Connectivity • Custom Workbooks • Excel Add-ins • Web Interfaces • User Authentication

Achieve governance and connectivity without ugly migration roadmaps.

We are ex- Big Four and Supermajor consultants with decades of experience building and maintaining enterprise software solutions involving Microsoft Excel.

92%

Geochemistry tasks now performed by algorithm.

200+

Teams nationwide connected thru custom ERP.

600+

Vendor risk profiles aggregated in real-time.

10+

Years relying on engineering data solution.

3M

Medical samples inventoried in custom LIMS.

A real game-changer. Now, our Geochemists can do actual interpretation. They didn’t earn PhDs to copy-paste all day.

And it’s a relief that changes are easy to build and validate.

Sales Performance Management

Centralized data.

User authentication.

Previously, sales performance data was tracked Excel workbooks. Version control, aggregate insights, and real-time data were difficult to attain.

Department leads continue to use familiar Excel workbooks, but now they're synced with a cloud database—solving the shortcomings of the previous approach, and increasing security.

Automated Geochemistry Reports

92%

Reduction in effort.

0%

Rework.

Previously, PhD geochemists would manually execute SQL queries to find available test results and interpret which graphs (traces) to generate before compiling the report.

Now, they enter one or more Sample IDs and receive completed reports. Hyper-automation handles the queries, inventory interpretation, trace generation, and report preparation.

Detailed Estimating Tool

Win rate increased.

More time for strategy.

Maintaining their estimating schedule on larger projects became risky and error-prone. Win rate for bids declined.

Now, every estimate starts from the same template and scope management is automated, ensuring no worksheet, column, or cell is forgotten or miscalculated. Database sync grants real-time visibility.

Automated Engineering Proposals

6x faster proposals.

Output quality guaranteed.

Previously, new proposals were made by editing old proposals. New team members frequently broke the Excel model.

Now, sales engineers enter specs into a web form and receive a completed proposal in seconds. Admin users can manage templates and branding assets in a content governance library.

The Excel model is automated and runs in the background with no human interaction. Only admins can access it directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

To leverage its strengths—flexibility and a massive talent pool—and to match today's connected and governed enterprise standards.

Excel boasts a billion active licenses. It's the world's most ubiquitous business app due to its unparalleled capacity to solve for unique business requirements. A vast talent pool of Excel professionals in every industry worldwide can build solutions quickly.

However, Excel solutions don't natively scale. They present significant challenges past one or two users. Despite this, Excel is prevalent across all sectors, underscoring the necessity for a nimble tool with a low cost of engineering.

Acknowledging this shortcoming, the solution becomes clear: to introduce connectivity, governance, and automation. Custom Excel add-ins and workbooks can sync with external sources, restrict interactions where necessary, and grant the familiar flexibility which users depend on.

Excel is transformed into a thriving enterprise-ready platform with additions such as:

  • User authentication
  • Automatic updates
  • Data centralization (not in-workbook)
  • Cloud integrations
  • Modern web technologies

Team morale.

Venturing into the development of custom software solutions derails your team from their primary responsibilities. Side projects done in-house are often viewed through a narrow lens, missing broader implications. Stretching resources thin risks long-term "almost done" scenarios.

Bringing in an experienced consultancy cuts through the complexity and delivers:

  • Solutions designed with a comprehensive understanding of your business.
  • Dedicated, focused human capital.
  • Timely, complete solutions, sidestepping the perpetual "work-in-progress" trap.
  • Continuity which persists throughout internal changes.

We charge for time spent.

Our smallest bespoke solutions cost ~$5k; the largest cost $200k+, and median projects cost near $35k.

Yes, that's the whole idea. All apps can and should "talk" to each other.

Our bespoke solutions commonly employ two-way integrations with internal customer databases, SalesForce, QBO, Monday.com, DocuSign, and many others.
