The Excel alternative for running your business
Excel is great for numbers. Running orders, stock and customers on it means VLOOKUPs, nested IFs and copies of the same file. Ambisius keeps the grid you know and adds linked data, rules in plain words and an app for every phone.
02 · Where it starts to hurt
Why teams look for an alternative to Excel
Lookups that break
One extra space, a renamed sheet or a deleted column, and VLOOKUP returns #N/A or #REF! across the whole file.
Logic only its author can read
Discounts, commissions and stock alerts end up as nested IF formulas that nobody else dares to touch.
Copies everywhere
Sales_FINAL_v3.xlsx, a file per month, and the same customer typed three different ways.
03 · With Ambisius
What changes when you switch
Link records, not text
Pick a customer or product from a list. Names, prices and totals follow the link, so there's nothing to look up.
Rules in plain words
“If the customer is VVIP, apply 50% off.” Everyone on the team can read and change it.
One place for every month
Keep all your history in one table and switch between monthly and yearly views.
The right access for each person
Cashiers add sales, managers see reports, and nobody overwrites a formula by accident.

Switching from Excel, answered.
Can I bring my existing Excel file?
Yes. Bring your sheet in and the agent suggests the tables and links for it. You review the plan before anything is created.
Will it still feel like a spreadsheet?
Yes. You work in rows and columns, sort, filter and edit inline. The difference is what happens underneath.
How much does Ambisius cost?
There's a free plan to start. Paid plans begin at $5 (Rp79.000) a month for the whole organization, Members are always free, and you only pay for Admin seats.
Does it work on phones?
Yes. Ambisius runs on the web, iOS and Android, so staff can add and update records from their phones with simple forms.
