Many companies have been using Excel or Access solutions developed in-house for years to control important business processes. However, these are often error-prone, difficult to maintain and not scalable. As requirements increase, such stand-alone solutions are reaching their limits: Processes remain manual, data is not centrally available, and collaboration between departments is made more difficult.
Together with the customer, Liquam has developed a tailor-made software solution that replaced complex Excel and Access applications that have grown over the years and has digitized and professionalized the processes.
A practical example:
A manufacturing company used a system of several Excel files and access databases to plan and control its campaigns. The effort required for maintenance, reconciliation and manual calculations was high, as was the risk of errors. The aim was to create a future-proof solution that automates processes, makes data available centrally and facilitates collaboration.
In this project, Liquam developed an individual software solution for an industrial customer that is precisely tailored to previous processes and requirements. After an analysis of the existing Excel and Access landscape, the relevant functions were recorded and transferred to a modern, web-based application.
The new solution centralizes data storage, automates calculations and processes, and gives users access to consistent, up-to-date data — anytime and from anywhere. Error-prone manual work steps have been eliminated, and standardized workflows ensure clarity and efficiency.
The software is scalable, can be integrated into existing ERP or BI systems and can be extended, e.g. with dashboards, reporting modules or interfaces to partner and customer systems.
