Too Many Spreadsheets

The Problem In The Client's Words

"Our core business operations live in 15 different Excel files. Only two people understand the formulas, files get accidentally overwritten, and if someone is on sick leave, our shipping or inventory calculations come to a halt."

What Changes

Multi-tab workbooks are replaced with an ACID-compliant Postgres database wrapped in clean, role-based internal screens. Concurrency conflicts, broken VLOOKUPs, and formula accidents are permanently eliminated.

Technical Deliverables

What we build

Relational database architecture mirroring your business logic
Web-based clerk and supervisor portal with strict field validation
Immutable version history and audit log on every cell/record change
Automated nightly backup with point-in-time recovery
Architecture

Workflow pipeline

Deterministic Action Flow
Incoming Data → Field Validation Schema → Postgres DB Transaction → Role-Gated Dashboard → Automated Nightly Backup
Every step is logged with input hashes, timestamped tokens, and explicit exception gates.
Interactive Diagnostic Tool

Spreadsheet Reality Check (In-Browser CSV Profiler)

Audit your current operations immediately in-browser with zero signup and client-side execution.

Production Evidence

TextileMode Capacity Engine (48h → 10h scheduling)

Review the verified case study, architecture blueprint, failure modes encountered, and measurable results.

Honest Boundaries

What this is not

Not no-code relational wrappers that fail under multi-user concurrency and enterprise audit requirements.
Not multi-year monolithic ERP replacements that introduce catastrophic operational disruption.
Practical FAQ

Questions real operations teams ask

Can staff still export data to Excel if they want to review numbers?

Yes. One-click CSV/Excel export is built into every view, but the database remains the single authoritative source of truth.

How long does migrating our spreadsheets usually take?

A standard migration takes 2 to 4 weeks depending on how many historical files need data cleaning.
