Problem Solved

Your Business Runs on Spreadsheets.
That’s the Problem.

Spreadsheets start off helpful. Then they multiply. Before you know it, your quotes, jobs, stock, or customer data are scattered across ten files, three versions, and nobody knows which one is right. I replace that mess with a simple system built around how you actually work.

Sound Familiar?

📎 Copy-Paste Hell

Someone types data into one sheet, then copies it into another, then into an email, then into an invoice. It works until it doesn’t.

❌ Hidden Errors

One broken formula or overwritten cell causes a wrong quote, a missed order, or an angry customer. And nobody spots it until it’s too late.

🔒 No Single Source of Truth

Your team each have their own version. “I’ll update the master later” never happens. Everyone works from different numbers.

⏳ Wasted Hours

Staff spend half their day wrangling spreadsheets instead of doing the job you actually hired them for.

📉 Can’t Scale

The business is growing, but the spreadsheet system is creaking. You need proper software, but off-the-shelf never fits.

🔍 No Visibility

You can’t see what’s happening across the business without opening five files and stitching it together yourself.

What I Build Instead

A lightweight, custom business app that does exactly what your spreadsheets pretend to do — but properly.

The Approach

I start by mapping what you actually do day-to-day. Then I build a system that replaces the spreadsheets with forms, workflows, and dashboards your team can actually use.

  • One source of truth for your data
  • Forms instead of free-text cells
  • Automated notifications and next steps
  • Built on Microsoft 365 — no new logins needed
  • Works on phones, tablets, and desktops

Common Replacements

I’ve built spreadsheet replacements for job tracking, quoting, stock control, customer records, approvals, timesheets, and compliance logs. If you’re currently doing it in Excel, I can probably improve it.

  • Job or project trackers
  • Quote and pricing systems
  • Stock and inventory management
  • Customer and supplier databases
  • Approval and sign-off workflows

How It Works

1. We map your current process

You show me the spreadsheets, explain who does what, and tell me where it breaks. I ask the awkward questions that uncover the real problems.

2. I design a simple system

No bloated software. Just clean screens, clear workflows, and automatic steps where they actually help. You see it before anything is built.

3. Built with your team in mind

I train the people who use it and make sure the system fits their day, not the other way around. Adoption is everything.

4. Live, supported, and improving

We go live, I support the rollout, and we iterate based on real use. Most systems evolve within the first month — that’s normal and expected.

Why Me?

I’m not a software agency that disappears after delivery. I’m a one-person specialist who works inside Microsoft 365, so the systems I build connect to the tools you already pay for — Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, and Power Platform.

  • 10+ years working with Microsoft 365
  • Fixed-price projects where possible
  • Based in Sheffield, working UK-wide
  • Realistic scope — no over-engineering
  • Ongoing support after go-live

Quick Questions

Will this replace Excel completely?

Not always. Sometimes the right answer is a proper database with Excel-style reporting on top. The goal is to remove the risky manual work, not ban spreadsheets.

Do I need to buy new software?

Usually no. If you already have Microsoft 365 Business Premium or above, we can build most of this using Power Apps, SharePoint Lists, and Power Automate.

How long does it take?

A focused first version typically takes 2–4 weeks. We start small, prove it works, and then add more.

What if my process is complicated?

That’s usually why spreadsheets fail. Complicated processes are exactly what custom software is for — we just break them into clear steps.
