Many companies rely on Excel as a tool for data collection due to its availability and its powerful form and formula features. The data collection processes around Excel forms, however, often lack proper coordination. Excel files are often exchanged through e-mails or cloud storage. Such data collection processes lack transparency and can cause problems like lost of data, data conflicts and communication overhead.

You define your individual data collection workflow, stakeholders and their tasks – no coding necessary. Spreadsheet Router coordinates the data collection by routing the spreadsheet through your predefined workflow. Users can continue working with the familiar Excel interface and well-established Excel forms while benefit from task management and other features of a workflow management system at the same time.
As Spreadsheet Router takes care of data management, you no longer have to bother with synchronisation issues.
Workflow-based data collection can not only speed up data collection processes. It also gives you better control of data collection processes through monitoring and targeted workflow changes.
