General

In short: We believe, that it should be simple to get value from your data.

Generating, storing and using a huge amount of different data in different systems (SAP, Excel, JIRA, CRMs, ERPs, etc.) has long become a daily business worldwide. The success of modern companies relies on data analytics for intelligent operational and strategic decisions. No matter which industry or size.

However, in most cases, all the data needed to make intelligent decisions is already stored in different systems. Most of them lack in terms of useful reports and analytics, that make it easy to add value to the data. That was the decisive point why we created Exply:

You shouldn't need a data analyst to get value from your data.

Easily harmonising all corporate data silos leads to honest transparency, more motivated teams, better customer communication and more intelligent decisions with better results - and is fun, too.

Spreadsheets are the most common way in SMB (Small and Mid-Sized Businesses) to collect, aggregate and analyse data. They are also used to create reports and some kind of dashboards.

Microsoft Excel, as one of the most widely used tool across any enterprise (small or big), is used to collect & integrate data, as well as, a create reports & analysis. The wide distribution and familiarity make it a versatile tool for business analysis and reporting.

However, multiple platforms, systems, logins, data and functions make it very difficult to merge all of them into simple spreadsheets or work with all the data collaborative. There are areas in which spreadsheets are limited as a business intelligence tool.

Downsides of Spreadsheets as a Business Intelligence Tool

• Data Credibility: Data will change over time. New entries will be added, old ones deleted and some will switch values. As time passes, and more users get involved, it's almost impossible to know which version is the correct one (single-version-of-truth).
• Data Complexity: The more advanced the data gets (f.e. multiple sources, macros, complex formulas using many spreadsheets), the harder it is to get rid of errors and inconsistencies and locate their origin.
• Collaboration: In general, spreadsheets are designed for one user at a time. Therefore simultaneously working on one spreadsheet is not possible which leads to sending spreadsheets via email, resulting in numerous versions for various users and potential conflicting copies. Some tools are trying to fill this gap by uploading spreadsheets into the cloud with potential data security issues.
• Accessibility: Excel spreadsheets are mainly used with desktop-based applications and are therefore not accessible anytime/anywhere. Newer cloud-versions try to solve this challenge but lack in terms of functionality.
• Access Rights: Spreadsheets provide only very simplified access rights meaning write or read-only rights along with password protection but no complex user management on the data level.
• Functionality: Spreadsheet reports are static. Comparing different periods or teams are not easily possible. Doing complete data analysis is only possible with a huge amount of time.
• Relating Data: Combining and merging different types of data, building relationships between different sources is very hard.
• Scalability: The more complex datasets become, the harder it will be for local desktops PCs or tablets to do the processing responsively and fluently.
• Publishing Data: Automatically publishing reports and data into other systems (intranets, blogs, websites, 3rd party apps) or sending them via email to predefined recipients is not possible.
