Get your business off spreadsheets.

A shared operations application transforming spreadsheet records into orders, inventory, and approvals

When the business outgrows the workbook

Stop entering the same information twice.

Sales updates a quote, purchasing copies it into an order sheet, and operations updates the schedule. Meanwhile, the stock count is waiting for someone to reconcile it. You spend time checking the numbers before you can act on them.

Use Webel to build a shared workflow for orders, inventory, and job status. Define how each update should reach the next person, with checks for missing information and connections to existing systems where they support integration.

Keep the knowledge behind the formulas.

Your spreadsheets contain years of pricing rules, calculations, and exceptions. When those rules live in linked cells, macros, or one person’s memory, a small change can be difficult for anyone else to check.

Bring the people who understand the workbook into a Huddle. Document its logic in Focused Design Docs, then work with AI agents to build it into an application. Test calculations against known examples, including the unusual cases your team handles today.

Know which version is ready to use.

A revised bill of materials in one file and a production plan in another can leave people checking emails to find the approved change. A filename alone cannot explain what changed, who reviewed it, or which jobs it affects.

Build a product lifecycle management (PLM) workflow with revision records, named reviewers, and release checks. Agree on who can make changes and how approved revisions reach purchasing and production as part of the application design.

Make the change without stopping the business.

A new application needs to fit around live orders, limited training time, and the people who will support it after launch.

Use Huddles and Focused Design Docs to plan a small rollout, training, and ongoing maintenance. Test with the staff who do the work, agree who handles problems, and keep a way back until the new workflow is ready.

Plan access before moving the data.

A shared spreadsheet can expose customer details, prices, and staff information to more people than need them.

Define permissions, approval steps, backup needs, and recovery checks as part of the application design. Invite specialists into the relevant Room to review those requirements, then test the application’s controls before transferring live data.

Know whether the new workflow is paying off.

Replacing a workbook is worthwhile when it improves the work: faster quotes, fewer corrections, or less time chasing an order.

Record today’s results in a Focused Design Doc and choose a measure to compare during the pilot. Use Spend and Quotas to track AI costs while you build, and plan separately for hosting, training, and maintenance.

Turn your workbook into software your team can use.

Start with the quoting tool, inventory tracker, or production workbook that takes the most effort to maintain. Use Webel to develop a shared application around its business rules, with the forms, permissions, and review steps your team needs. That can become a focused part of your enterprise resource planning (ERP) system or a PLM tool for managing product changes. Your team guides the design and reviews the software as it develops.

Features

Get off spreadsheets, one workflow at a time.

  1. Map the workbook

    Choose one process. Identify its inputs, formulas, exceptions, and the people who update or depend on it.

  2. Build with Webel

    Agree on shared records, access, and approvals. Clean the data you plan to move and develop a working version with your team.

  3. Compare, then switch

    Run representative cases alongside the workbook. Compare results and time spent, train users, and agree support and recovery plans before the application takes over.
