From Excel to custom software: when is it time?

Excel is great — until it cracks. These are the signs you are ready for a real solution.

Many companies run half their processes on Excel. Logical, because it is flexible and cheap. But at some point it works against you.

Signs Excel is cracking

  • Several people work in the same sheet and it goes wrong
  • You are afraid of accidentally deleting something
  • Errors in formulas cost you money or time
  • Nobody knows which version is the right one

The next step

That does not immediately mean an expensive system. Often a simple custom tool is enough: the same flexibility, but secure, for multiple users and without version chaos.
