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.
