Excel to App

The Excel file you run your business on becomes a full system, data included

Upload the file as it is. Fanann reads the sheets and columns, works out what the data is and proposes the right system for it: modules, screens, reports and roles. You review and adjust, then the system is built with your rows inside from day one.

What happens to your file

From a sheet that strains to a system that works

Three stages you can see, and nothing is built before you agree.

1Reading

Fanann reads your file as it is

No template to fill and no columns to rename. Fanann finds the header row and the type of every column: text, number, money, date, phone, email or a category with its values. Then it tells you facts about your data: how many rows, how many duplicates, and which column links one sheet to another.

  • Several sheets in one file
  • Arabic or English headers
  • Duplicates and blanks pointed out
2The proposal

A proposed system you adjust before it is built

From your data Fanann can tell whether it is customers, inventory or invoices, and proposes the modules with the number of records each will import, plus screens, reports and roles. Switch off what you do not need, rename what you like and change any field’s type.

  • Modules, screens and reports
  • Proposed roles and permissions
  • Plan first or build now
3The build

The system is built with your data inside

Your rows are moved as they are into your app’s database: the platform writes them, not the AI, so no name changes and no number is guessed. Around the data Fanann builds the screens, forms, reports and permissions, as a web app or a mobile app.

  • About 5,000 rows per sheet at build time
  • Import more later from the Control Center
  • Change the system afterwards by chat
What your file becomes

Five systems that start from an Excel file

Each system has a page with sample columns, the steps, what Fanann proposes and the questions people ask. Pick the one closest to your file.

Customer management system (CRM)

Your customer sheet becomes a CRM: a card per customer, a contact log and follow-ups nobody forgets.

Customer namePhoneCitySourceSteps and columns

Inventory and warehouse system

Your item sheet becomes an inventory system: live balances, low-stock alerts and a movement log per item.

Item nameItem code (SKU)QuantityReorder pointSteps and columns

Invoicing system

Your invoice log becomes a system: invoices per customer, a clear payment status and a list of what is overdue.

Invoice numberCustomerInvoice dateDue dateSteps and columns

Reservations and booking system

Your appointment sheet becomes a booking system: a clear calendar, no double bookings and a history per client.

Client namePhoneServiceStaff memberSteps and columns

Employee and HR tracker

Your staff sheet becomes a system: a file per employee, leave balances and requests that get approved instead of messaged.

Who is it for?

Shop and small-business owners

You run customers, stock or invoices in a file and want a system without starting from a blank page.

Teams sharing one file

Several people edit the same file and you need permissions and one record that never conflicts.

Offices and service companies

Bookings, contracts and staff in scattered sheets that are ready to become one system.

Agencies and freelancers

Your client sends you their file and you hand back a system running on their data in a short time.

How it works

Three steps from the file to the system

1

An .xlsx or .csv file up to 10 MB, as it is.

FAQ

Questions people ask

How do I turn an Excel file into a system?
Open “Excel to App” in Fanann and upload your file. Fanann reads the sheets and columns and proposes a system with modules, screens, reports and roles. Review and adjust the proposal, then press “Build the system” and it is built with your data inside.
Which file types are accepted, and how large can a file be?
Excel files in .xlsx format and CSV files, up to 10 MB per file. If your data is in Google Sheets, download it in either format and upload it.
How many rows are imported with the build?
About 5,000 rows per sheet at build time, and Fanann tells you if anything was left out. You can import the rest later as a CSV from the Control Center.
Does the AI change my data during the move?
No. The platform itself writes the rows into your app’s database as they appear in the file, with date and number formats normalised. The AI builds the screens and reports around the data; it does not rewrite it.
Do Excel formulas and formatting carry over?
What carries over is the data. Formulas, colouring and merged cells do not carry over as they are: describe the calculations you need and they are built as logic inside the system.
Can I change the system after it is built?
Yes. It is a full app in Fanann: ask for changes by chat, select an element in the preview with the visual editor and change it, and manage records and users from the Control Center.
Which plans include Excel to App?
Excel to App is part of the paid plans. The Control Center you manage your data from after the build is included in every plan, the free one too.
