Replace Excel in your company, without breaking everything
Excel is a great tool for doing a calculation. It becomes a problem the day the whole company runs on it. Here is how to tell whether you are there, and what goes in its place.

Six tell-tale signs
- 1Several versions of the same file are going round. "Tracking_v3_final_OK.xlsx" and nobody knows which one is right.
- 2Only one person knows how to edit the file. When they go on leave, everything slows down.
- 3The same information is typed two or three times. In the spreadsheet, in the invoicing software, in an email.
- 4Errors are found late. A broken formula, a shifted row, an amount sent to the wrong person.
- 5Knowing where things stand means asking someone. No screen tells you.
- 6The files slow down, crash, or are too heavy to share.
Two signs or more: your spreadsheets are already costing you time. The calculator tells you how much.
What do your spreadsheets cost you?Excel, off-the-shelf software, no-code or custom?
Four options, and custom does not win everywhere. Here is what we answer when we are asked.
| Keep ExcelYour current files | Off-the-shelf softwareCRM, ERP, scheduling tool… | No-codeAirtable, Notion, Bubble… tools assembled without programming | CustomWhat we do | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What it costs up front | €0, but your hours from the first week | A subscription from month one, plus set-up | A subscription, plus weeks building it yourself | A fixed price, known before you sign |
| What it costs every month | Your hours, every week, with no end | A per-user subscription that grows with the team | A per-user subscription, and someone to maintain it | No subscription, only hosting |
| The costs you do not see coming | Errors, and the time to fix them | Paid options, training, connectors | The time of the person who looks after it | None: what is in the proposal is in the price |
| Fits the way you work | Until it breaks | You adapt to it | Partly | Yes, it is built around you |
| Holds up as the team grows | No | Yes | Up to a point | Yes |
| Someone has to look after it in-house | Yes | No | Yes | No |
| You own the code and the data | The files, yes | No | No | Yes |
| Right for you if… | You are fewer than 5 | Your business looks like thousands of others | A simple need, and someone to maintain it | Your business fits no template |
If existing software does the job, take it. We will tell you so during the call. Custom is worth it when you spend your days working around off-the-shelf tools.
