Bespoke Spreadsheet Design

If you need a spreadsheet designed to meet certain tasks which we don't produce as standard, we can either design it from scratch for you or amend one of our standard spreadsheets.

We have worked on many projects for companies.  [More...] 

These bespoke spreadsheets could be designed to link directly with your accounting software package¹.

To use our bespoke services, we need to visit to discuss your requirements and to establish a specification.  We will then decide if we can do the project or not.

We will then send you an estimate for the number of days it will take, this may include time to spend with the staff who will use the system as experience tells us that the best spreadsheets are built with the assistance of the end-users.

The work could be carried out at your premises, in our offices, from our offices using a computer at your premises or a combination of all.

You will be invoiced at the end of each week for the work carried out during that week along with an update report, or a showing of the work carried out so far.

The best way to test any new system is for the end users to actually use it, normally in parallel to an existing system.

We can provide training to all the required staff on the use of this bespoke spreadsheet.

As a problem is encountered, we investigate and fix the problem.  This is by far a cheaper option than us carrying out full testing.

Testing by the end users is normally carried out at various stages throughout the process to check each stage and to get feedback before continuing.

Each spreadsheet system for completing these projects is built like a normal software package, for the end users, it's not like using a normal spreadsheet, no spreadsheet knowledge is required to use them.

Also, most  of these spreadsheets have been developed further over the years as with all businesses the goal posts move as time goes on.
