    Case Study – From Spreadsheets to Scalability: Transitioning a Client from Excel VBA to a Robust Django Web Application for Data Analytics

    Excel VBA Just Took Too Long

    Our client, a mid-sized security system installation service, relied heavily on Excel VBA spreadsheets to manage their data analytics operations. Their processes included inputting product information, analyzing/estimating pricing and generating client proposal estimates. While automation within Excel VBA served their needs initially, rapid business growth exposed its limitations in scalability, and real-time data processing.

    The Challenge

    The client faced several pain points:

    • Performance Bottlenecks: Complex VBA scripts were slow to execute and process.
    • Error-Prone Processes: Manual handling and lack of version control led to data inconsistencies when generating estimates.
    • Limited Accessibility: Desktop-based spreadsheets restricted access to key insights, especially for remote teams.

    They needed a scalable, web-based solution that would streamline their data analytics and reduce processing times.
