Sheet audit & mapping
We map columns, relationships, and pain points across your workbooks so nothing important is lost in migration.
COZQ
Move spreadsheets into a real database
COZQ migrates Excel and Google Sheets workflows into structured databases and simple apps your team can trust - no more version chaos, broken formulas, or files emailed around the business.
Data that scales
Spreadsheets are fine - until they are not.
When one workbook becomes the company's source of truth, risk piles up: duplicates, locked files, accidental edits, and no proper audit trail. COZQ turns those sheets into a database-backed system with permissions, forms, and reporting.
- Clean migration from Excel / Google Sheets
- One source of truth with roles and history
- Forms, dashboards, and exports your team already understands
From fragile files to dependable systems
We keep what works in your process - and replace the brittle parts with proper structure.
Database design
Normalised tables, keys, and validation rules that stop the duplicate and contradiction problems sheets allow.
Data migration
Clean import of historical data, with checks and a cutover plan so the business keeps moving.
Forms & workflows
Simple screens for data entry, approvals, and status updates - easier than fighting shared workbooks.
Reporting & exports
Live dashboards and CSV / Excel exports when finance or partners still need a spreadsheet snapshot.
Integrations
Connect the new database to CRMs, accounting, email, or your website so data flows instead of being retyped.

Common questions about spreadsheet to database
Can you migrate Excel and Google Sheets?
Yes. COZQ works with Excel workbooks, CSV exports, and Google Sheets. We map the structure, clean the data where needed, and load it into a proper database.
Will we still be able to export to Excel?
Usually yes. Most teams keep CSV or Excel exports for finance, partners, or offline analysis - while day-to-day work happens in the new system.
How long does a migration take?
Focused sheet systems can move in weeks. Complex multi-workbook operations take longer. After discovery we give a written plan with milestones and a parallel-run period.
Do we need a full custom app?
Not always. Some projects need a lightweight admin with forms and reports; others grow into fuller bespoke software or SaaS. We recommend the smallest system that removes the risk.
What about access and security?
Databases support proper logins, roles, and audit trails - so people only see and edit what they should, unlike a shared workbook sitting in someone's Drive.
