The problem it solves

You have Excel workbooks scattered across different files and folders, and finding out what exists means opening each one individually or hunting through folders. Keeping track of every workbook in your system is tedious busywork.

Who it fits

An operations or admin team member who manages multiple Excel workbooks and needs a quick inventory.

How it works

  1. You start the check whenever you need an inventory
  2. The system connects to your Excel account
  3. It retrieves every workbook you have access to
  4. The full list is returned for you to review
What you get

Workbooks listed without opening each one

You get a full list of every Excel workbook you have stored, ready to review in one place.

What you get

A list of all available Excel workbooks.

What you need

A Microsoft Excel or Microsoft 365 account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
