FAQ
What does replacing spreadsheets typically cost?
Most spreadsheet replacements start around $8,000-15,000 AUD depending on complexity. I'll give you a fixed quote after understanding your current setup and requirements.
How long does it take to build?
Timing depends on the smallest useful outcome and the workflow details that need to be handled safely. We first agree the scope, then provide a clear delivery plan before development starts.
Can you import my existing spreadsheet data?
Yes, I can migrate your existing data into the new system. I'll clean it up during import to fix inconsistencies and establish proper data structure.
Will this actually save time compared to spreadsheets?
Most clients save 5-10 hours per week by eliminating manual data entry, fixing formula errors, and searching through multiple versions of files.
Why not just use Google Sheets or Excel Online?
Online spreadsheets still break, lack proper user controls, and can't handle complex workflows. Purpose-built systems are more reliable and scale with your business.
