Excel-Exit Sprint

We turn your most time-consuming Excel routine into your own web tool that saves your team hours every week. Fixed price, no spec to write.

  • Prototype with your data on day 5
  • Live in 20 working days
  • 70% only after acceptance

Sound familiar?

Your engineers should bill hours to projects, not to spreadsheets.

  1. 01

    The routine that eats half a day every week

    Transferring quantities, recalculating variants, copying reports together. Every week, and every hour is missing from a project.

  2. 02

    Only one person really understands the spreadsheet

    The know-how lives in the formulas of one experienced person. If they're away or retire, the workflow stops.

  3. 03

    Every copy calculates a little differently

    A new file per project, each slightly adjusted. In the end nobody knows exactly which formula is right.

  4. 04

    An error in one cell goes unnoticed for a long time

    Overwritten formulas and typos stay hidden until a result no longer makes sense. Then the search begins.

Guarantee

The acceptance guarantee

You only pay once your tool has passed acceptance.

  1. 01Day 5

    Prototype check

    If the first prototype with your own data doesn't convince you, say stop. You get your deposit back in full.

  2. 02Acceptance

    Calculation match

    The final payment (70%) is only due once your tool produces the same results as your Excel on three finished projects, or every difference has been resolved and documented together.

  3. 03Day 60

    Time back

    If your tool doesn't save at least 4 hours a week against the measured baseline after 60 days in use, we keep working for free until it does, or you get 50% of the price back. Your choice.

Conditions: three reference projects at kickoff, feedback within two working days, use on all suitable projects during the 60 days. We only build if the process X-ray shows at least 6 hours a week of savings potential.

Reference

“I needed a way to calculate environmental impact scores from my CAD exports. The day after I sent over my data, I already had a first draft to look at. We aligned on the direction and just kept iterating from there. Honestly, I didn't expect it to come together that quickly.”
Simon JeremiasOwner, BauBio Jeremias

éco-log for BauBio Jeremias: environmental impact points from HiCAD exports, matched against the KBOB data. The first prototype was ready within a week.
