Turn your spreadsheet into a real app. In 30 days.
You're running a critical workflow in Excel. Permissions are leaky, versions diverge, and the person who understands the sheet is one vacation from being a bus factor. We'll turn it into a production web app — built on your stack, owned by you.
30-min scoping call → working app in 30 days → you own the source code.
Built for ops, finance, and RevOps leaders running business-critical workflows in Excel or Google Sheets.

Running the business on a spreadsheet breaks in four ways.
The same pattern shows up across every client. Here's what fails.
No permissions
Anyone with the link can read, edit, break, or exfiltrate. No audit trail, no row-level access.
No source of truth
Copies diverge. The 'real' version lives in someone's inbox. Reconciling takes hours every week.
No validation
Bad data lands. Wrong formulas propagate. No one notices until something downstream breaks.
Doesn't scale
Can't handle 100 users or 1M rows. The sheet is held together by one person's memory and one set of macros.
What a 30-day build gets you
Fixed scope. Fixed price. Production app by day 30.
- Web app replacing the sheet, hosted on your cloud or ours
- Role-based access controls — not a shared link
- Data validation + full audit trail on every change
- Imports from the existing sheet — no rekeying, no data loss
- Integration points (CSV, webhook, REST API) to fit your stack
- Full source code + documentation — you own it
Scope before we sell you anything.

Scoping call
30 minutes with a CTO. We walk through the sheet, flag the 2–3 decisions that shape the build, and tell you whether 30 days is realistic.
Clear scope and an honest timeline.
Architecture sketch
One week later we send back a one-pager: data model, user roles, tech stack, migration plan, and fixed price.
A build plan, not a pitch deck.
Build and ship
Weekly demos, production deploy by day 30, data migration included. Then hand-off or ongoing support — your call.
Working app, source code, documentation.

Securing Degrees — B2B scholarship-matching platform
The problem
Spreadsheet-driven scholarship matching couldn't scale beyond pilot. Applicants and program data lived in 40+ sheets, matching was manual, and onboarding each partner university took weeks.
The outcome
Replaced the spreadsheet layer with a custom matching engine and automated onboarding workflow. 50+ matching criteria evaluated per application, partner setup shrunk from weeks to days.
We were completely satisfied with both the value and the work product.

Book the scoping callCommon questions
How fast, really?
30 days from architecture sign-off. Scoping and architecture take about a week together, so roughly 6 weeks start-to-production in most cases.
What does it cost?
Fixed scope, fixed price. Typical 30-day builds land $45–95k depending on complexity (users, integrations, data volume). The scoping call and architecture sketch are free.
Who owns the code?
You do. Full source, documentation, and deployment instructions. We don't lock you into a platform and we don't charge per user.
What stack do you use?
We match your stack when we can. Default is Node/React/Postgres on AWS; Python, Go, Rails, .NET, GCP, Azure are all in regular rotation.
Why not just use Glide, Retool, or Airtable?
They're great for simple apps with a few users. Once you need real permissions, audit logging, custom integrations, or production scale on a business-critical workflow, you end up here anyway. We skip the platform step.
Is this the right fit?
Good fit
- A specific business-critical spreadsheet in mind
- Budget for a $45–95k fixed-scope build
- A workflow owner who can answer questions during build
- Plan to deprecate the spreadsheet, not maintain both
Not a fit
- Looking for a BI dashboard, not an app (different problem)
- Budget below ~$35k
- Spreadsheet logic is exploratory or changes monthly
- No clear owner for the workflow post-launch
