CONVERT, DON'T REBUILD

Turn Excel planning models
into deployable apps. Fast.

GridOps extracts structure and logic from real-world spreadsheets, helps you map it to dimensions, and generates a deployable model + input forms you can iterate on.

Up to 50-100x less build effort*

* Based on internal testing on complex enterprise Excel models. Results vary by model complexity and target environment.

WHY IT EXISTS

Excel is where planning starts.
And where it breaks.

Spreadsheets are flexible, but large planning models become fragile and expensive. The problem isn't "Excel vs software" — it's that delivery doesn't scale when every model is rebuilt by hand.

Every change cascades

Small edits cascade into broken links, retesting, and new "final" versions.

Logic lives in people

When the spreadsheet owner leaves, the model becomes a black box.

Governance is painful

Audits, approvals, and "what changed?" turn into manual detective work.

HOW IT WORKS

Upload → Map → Generate.
Repeat when Excel changes.

GridOps extracts model anatomy (inputs, assumptions, calcs, outputs), guides dimension mapping, flags risks, and generates a deployable model + input forms you can iterate on.

Upload workbook

Drop your .xlsx file. GridOps parses structure, formulas, named ranges, and cross-sheet references.

Map dimensions

Entity / Period / Scenario / Drivers — make implicit conventions explicit and consistent.

Validate & flag risks

Surface circular refs, hardcoded constants, and inconsistent ranges before they become bugs.

Generate build package

Model structure + input forms + validations — a deployable artifact, not a screenshot or PDF export.

What you get

  • + Explicit structure instead of implicit spreadsheet conventions
  • + Controlled inputs (forms) instead of editing formulas everywhere
  • + Validation checks that surface hidden risks early
  • + A repeatable build artifact (not a one-off hand craft)

What you stop doing

  • - Weeks of rebuild for each "new" planning model
  • - Free-form forks and version chaos
  • - Expert-heavy iteration for simple changes
  • - Re-testing everything after minor edits

USE CASES

Best for "big spreadsheet" planning.

Concrete examples of what teams convert with GridOps.

Budgeting & Forecasting (FP&A)

Typical Excel: 10-30 tabs, monthly horizon, scenarios, rollups. Output: Entity/Period/Scenario model + driver input form + consistent outputs.

Workforce planning

Typical Excel: headcount, comp assumptions, allocations by org. Output: controlled inputs per owner + allocation logic + consolidated totals.

Sales & revenue planning

Typical Excel: conversion rates, ramp curves, scenarios. Output: assumptions form + scenario compare + standardized driver tables.

Cost allocation / ABC models

Typical Excel: multi-step allocations with fragile cross-tab links. Output: explicit driver tables + checks (balances, totals, exceptions).

CapEx / project planning

Typical Excel: project lists, phasing, approvals, rollups. Output: project inputs + phasing rules + consolidated plan by period/entity.

Partner / delivery teams

Turn spreadsheet implementation into a repeatable delivery playbook. Less custom rebuild, more standardized mapping + output packages.

EXAMPLES

Common spreadsheet-to-app conversions.

Three patterns GridOps converts especially well — budgeting, revenue planning, and workforce planning.

BUDGETING

Multi-entity FP&A budget workbook

Monthly plan with scenarios, rollups, and heavy lookups across tabs.

Typical:10-30 tabs, drivers + outputs, manual checks
GridOps:explicit dims + driver forms + validations
Result:repeatable updates and cleaner review cycles
REVENUE

Bookings → revenue plan

Ramp curves, churn/expansion, scenario switches, and time-based logic.

Typical:assumptions hidden in cells, multiple forks per quarter
GridOps:assumptions form + scenario compare + checks
Result:consistent logic across scenarios and versions
WORKFORCE

Headcount + allocations model

Comp assumptions, start dates, allocations, and consolidation across owners.

Typical:broken links, unclear ownership, slow consolidation
GridOps:owner-specific inputs + allocations + totals checks
Result:cleaner handoffs and more reliable rollups

FAQ

Quick answers.

Does GridOps replace Excel?

No. Excel stays the source. GridOps converts it into explicit structure + deployable artifacts you can iterate on.

What spreadsheets work best?

Planning models with structure: time series, drivers, assumptions blocks, rollups, scenarios. We can assess your workbook quickly and tell you what converts cleanly.

Do you preserve every Excel feature (macros, everything)?

GridOps extracts structure and logic. Some Excel-specific constructs may require adaptation depending on your conventions and target environment.

How fast is it?

It depends on the workbook. Internal testing on complex enterprise models shows up to 50-100x less build effort vs manual rebuild — results vary.

TRY IT ON YOUR SPREADSHEET

Send one workbook. We'll show the conversion.

You'll get a clear answer: what converts cleanly, what needs adjustment, and what the output looks like.

We don't need your entire planning universe to start — one "big" spreadsheet is enough.

We'll reply with next steps and a quick assessment.

We typically respond within 1-2 business days. If you share a workbook, we treat it as confidential.
