We don't replace your spreadsheets. We vouch for them.

Quality teams have been told for two decades to abandon Excel. They never did — because it works. SheetLckr was built for the people who actually run quality on spreadsheets, not the consultants who tell them to stop.

Two engineers — one in automotive, one in pharma — kept seeing the same finding: "no evidence of who changed the workbook". The fix was always the same: more meetings, more screenshots, more SharePoint folders nobody opened.

We built SheetLckr to put the evidence inside the cell, where the work actually happens. Six months in a real plant, then twelve more in three. Today it's the layer under hundreds of workbooks across QMS-regulated industries.
