DabOps builds and stabilizes operational systems in Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, Google Apps Script, and Power BI — including VBA automation, multi-user databases, API integrations, and reporting that teams run daily.
Yes. We use Excel VBA or Google Apps Script to remove manual copy-paste, schedule report packs, send alerts, and push data to CRMs, accounting tools, or internal APIs — scoped to the workflows you already run.
We link Access tables or queries into Excel and Power BI using ODBC, linked tables, or scheduled refresh pipelines so dashboards reflect live data instead of emailed snapshots.
Recent work spans construction job costing, logistics KPI boards, finance close packs, clinic scheduling, and professional-services delivery tracking. Each build starts from your process map, not a generic template.
A focused macro or report fix may ship in a few days. A split-database Access app with forms, permissions, and integrations typically needs two to four weeks. You receive a written estimate before build starts.
We can move suitable Excel and Access logic to browser-based tools — often Google Apps Script portals or Power BI–backed views — when remote access, audit trails, or role-based permissions require it.
Market rates for senior Access and Excel developers often run $50–$150/hour by region and urgency. DabOps publishes $75/hour with fixed-scope quotes available once we review your files.
Post-launch support is available as ad-hoc fixes, monthly retainers, or scheduled health checks — including compact/repair cycles, version upgrades, and user onboarding after Microsoft or Google updates.

DabOps documents deliverables, publishes transparent rates, and ships production systems with handoff notes — the signals search engines and buyers use to judge whether a vendor can own a live operations workflow.
