The problem

The business ran on six linked spreadsheets. Two people understood the formulas. Month-end reporting took three days, and one broken link could corrupt a quarter of reporting silently.

What we did

  • A single operations tool with a proper relational data model
  • Live dashboards replacing the manual month-end rebuild
  • Roles, permissions and a full audit trail
  • Imported five years of historical data, reconciled against the originals

The results

Reporting that took three days now takes minutes, and no single person is a point of failure any more.

Frequently asked questions

When should we move off spreadsheets?

When more than one person edits them daily, when a broken formula could go unnoticed, or when month-end takes days. Those are the signals the spreadsheet has become infrastructure.

(Feedback)

In the client's words.

They talked us out of automating two of the four processes we asked about. That's when I knew they were worth paying.
