Spreadsheet to app
The spreadsheet your business runs on, rebuilt as an app with logins, so each person sees and edits only their part.
What it does.
- 1
We start from the sheet you use today.
Its columns, color codes and formulas show us how the work runs.
- 2
Your rows move into the app.
Each column becomes a field in a form, and rows that don't fit are set aside for you to check.
- 3
Each person signs in and sees their part.
Roles decide who sees which rows and who can change them, on a phone or a computer.
- 4
You see the totals as the work happens.
The summary updates when anyone saves a change, and everything exports to Excel.
What changes for you.
One version everyone works from.
Changes save to one place, so the totals match for everyone.
Each person sees what they need.
Logins and roles keep amounts and other people's rows private to those who need them.
Formulas stop breaking.
The math lives in the app, where a pasted row or a deleted column can't change it.
Your summary is ready when you open it.
Totals and status update as people save their changes.

Questions.
Can the app keep using my spreadsheet?
Yes. The app can read and write a Google Sheet, or an Excel file stored in OneDrive for work or SharePoint, so the sheet and the app stay in step. Google and Microsoft limit how often apps can change a file, so this works best when a few people use it. With more people editing at once, the data moves into the app's own database, and you can still export it to Excel.
How do my rows get into the app?
We import them from Google Sheets, an Excel file or a CSV export. Rows that don't fit, such as a date typed as text, are set aside for you to check before anyone starts using the app.
Can't I protect or hide parts of my sheet instead?
Protecting a sheet stops edits, but Google says protection shouldn't be used as a security measure, and viewers can still see hidden sheets. In the app, each login loads only the rows and columns its role allows.
Wouldn't a no-code tool be enough?
Sometimes. For a simple list or form shared by a few people, a spreadsheet or a no-code tool can be enough. We build when you need roles for each person, rules that hold whatever gets pasted in, or connections to tools such as QuickBooks or Google Calendar.
What does turning a spreadsheet into an app cost?
The price depends on what we build. We quote the work before anything starts, and you decide whether to go ahead.
