Workflow Engine to Replace Spreadsheet Hell

Every spreadsheet workflow you would never let an auditor see, rebuilt as a versioned, role-based, fully logged workflow application — without writing code.

The pain

Critical operational workflows — onboarding, change requests, approvals, claims processing, vendor intake — run in fragile spreadsheets with VLOOKUPs that break when the wrong person touches them. No audit trail, no role-based access, no version control.

What gets built

  • Form-driven workflow definitions: states, transitions, role-based actions, conditional routing
  • Per-step audit log: who acted, when, with what data, what changed
  • Approval workflows with delegation, escalation, and SLA tracking
  • Bulk import from existing spreadsheets (preserves history as initial-state record)
  • Reporting layer: cycle time, bottleneck detection, throughput by stage
  • Templates library: change management (CMP swimlane), CAPA, vendor intake, onboarding, RFI/RFQ

Stack

  • NocoDB / Baserow
  • n8n
  • Next.js + Supabase
  • Metabase
  • Docker Compose

Pricing

$7K–$15K per workflow implementation + $300–$1,000/mo managed hosting

Effort to ship

3–4 weeks for v1; new workflows take 2–4 days each via configuration
