Software and systems
From Excel to a web app your whole team can share.
Not a do-it-yourself tool. We take the spreadsheet your business runs on and build it into a proper web application, with your data moved across and the rules built in.

Signs the spreadsheet has outgrown you
- There are three copies, and nobody is sure which one is current.
- One wrong paste breaks a formula, and you find out weeks later.
- Staff type the same details into the spreadsheet, an email and the accounts.
- Only one person really understands how it works.
- Two people cannot safely edit it at the same time.
- Customers ask for an update, and someone has to dig through the file.
What you get
Your data moved across
Every row brought over and checked, so the app starts with the history you already have.
Rules that cannot be pasted over
The checks your formulas do become part of the app, so a wrong entry is caught when it is made.
A view for each person
Staff see their own jobs, managers see everything, and customers can have their own login if you need it.
No more retyping
Joined up with your email, calendar or accounts where that saves someone a job.
Reports and exports
The totals you work out by hand, done for you, and a download to Excel whenever you want one.
Looked after
Hosting, fixes and small changes after launch, from the people who built it.
How it works
A short paid review
We go through the spreadsheet and how each person uses it, and write down what the app needs to do.
A fixed price for the build
You get the scope and a fixed price in writing. If you go ahead, what you paid for the review counts towards it.
Built in stages, then switched
You try each part as it is built. We move your data across and switch over on a day you choose.
Support afterwards
We host it and look after it, with an agreed amount of small changes each month.
Software we have built
Each of these replaced a mix of spreadsheets, messages and paper with one system.
Questions
Can an Excel spreadsheet be turned into a web app?
Yes. The data moves across, the formulas become rules and calculations in the app, and the sheets become screens built for each job. It is rebuilt rather than converted, which is what makes it reliable.
Should we use a no-code tool instead?
If you have the time to build and maintain it yourselves, a no-code tool can work well. This service is for firms that want it built and looked after for them, with rules and reports that fit exactly.
Can we still use Excel?
Yes. You can download any list or report to Excel whenever you need one. The app becomes the one place the data is kept.
What happens to the data we already have?
We move it across and check it, so the app starts with your full history. The old spreadsheet stays untouched until you are happy.
How do you price turning a spreadsheet into an app?
It depends on how much the spreadsheet does. We start with a short paid review, then give you a fixed price in writing for the build.
