The problem

Are your teams still spending hours manipulating Excel?

In many industrial SMEs, Excel remains at the heart of daily operations: production tracking, cost calculation, quotes, inventory, quality, planning, sales, purchasing, reporting… Over time, certain files become true business applications. But they often require:

copy-pasting between multiple files
manual extractions from ERP or CRM
repetitive data entry
consolidation of dozens of tables
manual anomaly search line by line
recurring creation of charts and reports
complex formulas to maintain and evolve
manual consistency checks

Artificial intelligence and automation now make it possible to evolve these files without necessarily replacing the tools your teams already know.

Applications

What can be automated in Excel with AI?

AI Analysis

Analyze your Excel data with artificial intelligence

Ask questions directly about your data. Your teams spend less time searching for information and more time making decisions.

💬

« Why did the scrap rate increase this week? »

💬

« Which products saw the biggest margin drop? »

💬

« Which orders are at risk of delay? »

💬

« Which production variances appear abnormal? »

What AI can do

  • Analyze the data contained in your files
  • Identify trends and seasonalities
  • Compare periods and highlight variances
  • Detect anomalies and outliers
  • Answer questions in natural language
  • Summarize important information
Automated Reporting

Automate your Excel reports

Do you consolidate multiple files every week or month to produce the same report? We can automate a large part of the process.

Data Collection
Cleaning
Consolidation
KPI Calculation
Charts
AI Analysis
Report Generation

AI can draft an initial analysis including:

Evolution of key KPIs
Variances against targets
Detected anomalies
Important trends
Points requiring particular attention
Comparison with previous periods
Connections

Connect Excel to your ERP, CRM and business tools

Your teams probably retrieve information from your ERP, CRM, production software, SQL database, SharePoint, emails or other applications before integrating it into their spreadsheets. Solanys develops automations to connect these different sources.

Data flows automatically between your tools — less re-entry, less copy-paste, fewer errors.

Automatic Entry

Automate data entry in Excel

Some data still arrives in the form of documents, emails or attachments. Thanks to AI, it is possible to automatically extract the information contained in:

PDFInvoicesPurchase OrdersQuotesReportsEmailsTechnical DocumentsImages or Photographs

Useful data is identified, structured and then integrated into your Excel file. A task that previously required several minutes of manual entry can thus be largely automated.

Smart Files

Make your Excel files smarter

Some Excel files become indispensable to the company: dozens of tabs, hundreds of formulas, several years of business logic. Rather than rebuilding everything, we analyze the existing setup and develop a tailored solution.

Your Excel file can progressively become a true intelligent business tool.

  • Simplify complex files with dozens of tabs
  • Automate certain formulas and repetitive calculations
  • Automatically detect inconsistent data
  • Automate data import and export
  • Add automatic consistency checks
  • Integrate artificial intelligence functions
  • Create simpler interfaces for users
  • Connect the file to other company software
Industry

Excel & AI for industry

Industrial companies generate a large amount of data every day — production, quality, maintenance, inventory, orders, costs, cycle times, scrap. A large part of this information still ends up in Excel. Solanys helps industrial SMEs automate its exploitation.

Production Tracking

Automatically centralize data and track quantities produced, cycle times, stoppages, performance and variances — without manual consolidation.

Quality Control

Analyze measurements and control results to more quickly identify anomalies, drifts or batches outside tolerance.

Cost Analysis

Automate the consolidation of material costs, machine time, labor and other data needed to calculate your production costs.

Inventory Management

Analyze consumption, stock levels and history to identify stockout or overstock risks.

Industrial Reporting

Automatically transform your operational data into KPIs, charts and reports usable by managers and executives.

AI Assistant

From your Excel file to a true AI assistant

Artificial intelligence can change the way your teams interact with their data. Instead of browsing through multiple tabs or building a new formula, they can simply ask a question.

The goal

It's no longer just about having more data. It's about making that data immediately actionable.

💬

« What are the five customers with the lowest margin? »

💬

« Show me overdue orders above €10,000. »

💬

« Compare this week's production to the three-month average. »

💬

« Explain to me why our margin has decreased. »

The assistant analyzes the available data and returns the relevant information.

Our positioning

Should Excel be replaced?

💡

Improve what exists

Excel remains extremely flexible. Teams know their files. In some cases, improving and connecting what already exists is enough.

🔄

Automate progressively

In other cases, we can progressively transform the process into a business application or a connected AI agent.

⚙️

Adapt the technology

We adapt the technology to the company's needs, not the other way around. The question is simple: how do we automate what already exists?

2

Identify

We look for repetitive operations: data entry, copy-paste, consolidation, checks, calculations and reporting.

3

Design

We determine which technologies to use: automation, API, scripts, AI or connection to your existing software.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can AI analyze my Excel files?
Yes. An AI solution can read and analyze the content of your Excel files to identify trends, detect anomalies, compare periods and answer questions in natural language. Your teams can thus obtain information without building new formulas or browsing through dozens of tabs.
Do you need to replace Excel to use artificial intelligence?
Not necessarily. Excel remains extremely flexible and your teams often know their files perfectly. A replacement project can be costly and difficult to adopt. In many cases, it is more relevant to improve and connect existing files with AI rather than rebuilding everything.
How do you connect Excel to our ERP or CRM?
Depending on the capabilities of your ERP or CRM, different integration methods can be used: API, database, structured exports, Power Automate or scripts. The goal is generally to automate the import and export of data between your tools to avoid manual re-entry.
Can we automate the creation of our Excel reports?
Yes. It is possible to automate all or part of the process: collecting data from your various sources, cleaning, consolidation, KPI calculation, chart generation and drafting an initial analysis. The goal is to reduce the time spent preparing recurring reports.
Can AI extract data from PDFs or emails into Excel?
Yes. Document AI technologies make it possible to automatically extract information contained in PDFs, invoices, purchase orders, quotes, reports or emails and integrate it directly into your Excel files. A task that previously required several minutes of data entry can thus be largely automated.
Where to start to automate a strategic Excel file?
The best starting point is generally to identify the repetitive operations your teams perform around the file: data entry, copy-paste from other sources, consolidation, manual checks, chart updates. Solanys conducts a free audit to identify automatable tasks and assess the potential impact.
