Converting excel spreadsheets to fully featured applications within days

Excel spreadsheets are commonly used for project tracking, resource management, finance reconciliations, timesheet tracking, or inventory management in many organisations.

Despite their widespread use, Excel spreadsheets often fail to provide the user experience and collaboration tools needed to effectively manage the data they contain. With no role-level permissions, users can make changes to the spreadsheets, making it difficult to ensure accuracy. As spreadsheets are unable to support concurrent work, users are unable to collaborate on the data in real-time. Furthermore, Excel spreadsheets are unable to integrate with other systems, making it difficult to keep data up-to-date and in sync. As a result, users are often frustrated with the limited features of Excel spreadsheets.

You have reviewed a number of off-the-shelf applications to replace your Excel spreadsheets, however none of them has all the features you require or can be customised to fit your needs. Custom application development can become expensive and time consuming, it takes significant amount time from the start of development to delivery, delays are not uncommon.
