The problem it solves

You get a new CSV file with updated stock or inventory data and have to manually copy it into your tracking spreadsheet. It's easy to duplicate rows or miss an update, and it eats time you'd rather spend elsewhere.

Who it fits

Investors or operations teams who track portfolios or inventory in Excel.

How it works

  1. The system checks your OneDrive folder every minute for a new CSV file
  2. It confirms the file is a valid CSV before continuing
  3. It cleans the data and removes unnecessary headers
  4. New or changed rows are matched by ticker or ID and added to your Excel sheet
  5. The processed file is removed from OneDrive to keep things tidy
What you get

Portfolio numbers current without opening OneDrive

You keep your Excel portfolio tracker current automatically as new data files arrive in your OneDrive folder.

What you get

An always up-to-date Excel sheet reflecting your latest data, with no duplicate entries.

What you need

A Microsoft OneDrive account and Excel Online access.

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.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
