You run the company on Excel and email

It worked when there were three of you

Now there are four versions of the same file, someone overwrites someone else's row, and you're the only one who knows which column counts. It isn't an Excel problem — it's that a spreadsheet can't say no to two people at once.

Tell me where you are

Three questions, then you get a clickable sketch for free.

Describe how you work today, and you'll get a clickable sketch of how it could work instead. It's easier to show the team a sketch than to describe a system that doesn't exist yet.

What goes wrong

The spreadsheet won, until it didn't

It's an excellent tool for one person. Five things stop working as soon as there are more of you.

  • Nobody knows which file is current

    There's one in an email, one in Drive and one on someone's desktop, and all three were updated last.

  • Two people edit at once

    One of the changes disappears. Nobody finds out which, and you discover it when a customer calls.

  • There's no history

    Who changed the status, and when? The question can't be answered, so it turns into a phone call instead.

  • Everything important is in someone's head

    The rules for what should happen when live with you, not in the file. That's why the work can't be handed over.

  • You copy and paste between systems

    The same thing is entered three times: in the sheet, in the accounts and in the email to the customer.

How we switch

Not everything at once

  1. 01

    The worst sheet goes first

    The one most people touch and that does the most damage when it's wrong. The rest can stay put for now.

  2. 02

    The same columns to begin with

    You should recognise it. A system that forces a new way of working on day one doesn't get used.

  3. 03

    Then what the sheet couldn't do

    Permissions, history, reminders, and two people working at once without anyone losing anything.

  4. 04

    One sheet at a time after that

    At whatever pace you can change your habits. Most switch three and keep the rest, and that's often right.

What it costs

SEK 19,900 a month, one thing at a time

A subscription instead of a project: you have one active request on the go, I deliver it, you send the next. Pause when you don't need anything, cancel when you're done. No setup fee and no lock-in.

The first sheet is usually one request. After that, you decide whether the next one is worth another.
