Comparison
Quproc does not replace Power BI or Excel. It uses them as sources.
The three ways to arrive at a KPI dashboard, in one table: a business intelligence project, a hand-consolidated spreadsheet, and the Quproc model.
The three routes, side by side
Every row is a decision that has to be made either way.
| BI project | Spreadsheet by hand | Quproc | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where the data comes from | ERP integration, with credentials | Exports downloaded by hand | The systems send what they already issue, one way only |
| Migration | Usual when building the model | None | None: the systems stay where they are |
| How it is priced | Per-user licence | The hours of whoever maintains it | Monthly fee per connected table |
| Who can look | Whoever holds a licence | Whoever holds the file | The whole team, no per-seat licences |
| Traceability | Down to the dataset | Down to the tab | Down to the row and the source document |
| How often it updates | On the scheduled refresh | When someone updates it | On every load, in real time |
| What gets installed | Licences and a server or your own cloud | Nothing | Nothing: a web app on the company's own Google space |
| Industry vocabulary | Modeled from scratch | Whatever the author used | Modules already modeled, with each industry's unit |
| Alerts | Programmed separately | None | Thresholds per unit, firing on their own |
With a BI tool already in place
Quproc does not compete with Power BI, QlikView, Tableau or Looker Studio, and does not ask for either one to be dropped. It receives the data the company already exports and returns a dedicated dashboard, with traceability down to the row and the source document, no per-user licences and no development cycle. Both layers can coexist: corporate BI for what cuts across the company, the industry module for the unit decisions are actually made in.
With the Excel and Google Sheets files already being filled in
The spreadsheet is not thrown away: it is read. The usual starting point is files built by hand, with different formats and columns that move. The initial mapping catches those columns and monthly maintenance follows them when they change. What is copied and pasted today becomes automated, KPIs are recalculated on every load, and the result stops depending on someone consolidating in time.
That is the substantive change: cost and margin per unit, and the profitability behind them, read on the same axis and in the same period as operational performance.
When Quproc is not the answer
Machine control
Acting on the production process within seconds is industrial automation, not management control.
Process redesign
Quproc does not design a blast, a concrete pour or a packing line. It orders what those processes already record.
A model that already works
If the current model is maintained, with traceability and alerts, replacing it does not pay for itself.
Data that does not exist
If the unit to be measured is recorded nowhere, it has to be recorded first.
What comes next
How it works, in four stages · Plans and pricing · Questions that come up first · Industries already modeled
Send us one of your spreadsheets and we'll show you what comes out of it
Thirty minutes is enough to see whether the operation fits one of the models already built or whether it should be modeled from scratch. No cost, no commitment.
