Replace the spreadsheet with software that runs the process.
Custom software that replaces manual work, spreadsheets and disconnected tools with one auditable workflow — connected to SAP and the other systems you already run, not another island beside them.
This is for you if…
- A business-critical process runs on spreadsheets, email and copy-paste.
- The data you need sits in several systems — SAP, Excel, CSV exports, external APIs — that do not talk to each other.
- Errors surface late: in an audit, at a deadline, or when a customer notices.
- Standard tools would force you to change a process that works.
When we are not the right fit
If a standard tool already fits your process, buy it. We would rather tell you that in the first conversation than build you something you did not need.
What we usually hear first
“Only one person really understands that spreadsheet.”
We turn the logic in it into explicit rules the software enforces, so the process no longer depends on one person being in the office.
“We copy the same data between three systems.”
We consolidate the sources into one dataset — in our workforce planning project, from SAP DMC, SuccessFactors, spreadsheets, CSV files and external APIs.
“Every manual step is a delay and an audit risk.”
That is what maritime compliance teams were living with before DIDI-MRV: reconciling shipboard data by hand against deadlines that do not move.
“Getting a number means waiting days for IT.”
Self-service reporting with role-based access, so people see exactly what their role permits — and do not need a ticket to see it.
What you get
One source of truth
Data consolidated from SAP, spreadsheets, CSV files and external APIs into a single dataset the whole process can rely on.
Rules built into the workflow
Validation and compliance indicators at the moment of entry — like the traffic-light rule checks in our workforce planning tool — instead of in a report afterwards.
Audit trail and access control
Role-based access through OAuth 2.0 and Keycloak, traceable data flows, and an architecture designed around GDPR from the start.
Reporting and export
Real-time views for the people who run the process, and export to Excel, CSV and PDF for the people who still need a file.
Technology
From first call to working software
Week 0
Free first consultation
About 30 minutes on the process, the people in it and the systems it touches — and an honest view on whether custom software is the answer.
Weeks 1–2
Process audit and prototype
We map the existing data models, integrations and manual steps, then prototype the workflow that replaces them. You keep the plan either way.
Weeks 3–6
First implementation scope
Two to four weeks of building the first part of the workflow, connected to the systems it depends on, with automated tests from the start.
Ongoing
Extend and operate
More of the process moves in, step by step. We host it, patch it and keep developing it as the business changes.
Typical for a first scope. Larger platforms are planned after discovery, because a timeline before that would be guesswork.
Work that shows how we do it
Before you ask
- Why not just buy a standard tool?
- If one fits your process, you should — and we will say so. Custom software makes sense when the process is what sets you apart, when it has to work deep inside systems like SAP, or when compliance needs an audit trail a spreadsheet cannot give.
- Can it connect to SAP?
- Yes — over OData, RFC and REST. Our workforce planning application, for example, works with data from SAP DMC, SAP SuccessFactors, SAP IBP and SAP PP alongside spreadsheets and external APIs.
- How do you handle GDPR and data protection?
- We design for GDPR from the start: data models, role-based access control via OAuth 2.0 and Keycloak, and traceable data flows. For formal data protection matters we work with Decorum Consulting GmbH, whose certified data protection officer supports our projects.
