Bespoke software solutions offer a range of benefits to businesses and organizations by providing tailored and efficient systems that can improve performance and save costs. However, many businesses still rely on countless spreadsheets, out-of-date software, and even paper documents to manage their day-to-day operations.

A recent alarming example was highlighted in an article by Gizmodo, which reported that Williams Racing, a historic F1 franchise, was using Excel spreadsheets to manage more than 20,000 parts used in the construction of their Formula One car. In recent years, Williams has been struggling, finishing 7th in the constructor championship last year and bottom of the championship in 2022.

When asked about the issues he was encountering at Williams, James Wolves, the new Team Principal, stated that the Excel list was a joke, impossible to navigate and update. He explained that tracking hundreds of thousands of components moving around the organization was impossible with an Excel spreadsheet. A powerful database solution was needed to track each component, its completion time, inspection status, and any problems encountered.

The problems Williams Racing encountered are not uncommon in the manufacturing sector. At Genolis, we offer bespoke software solutions that can replace Excel spreadsheets with powerful database solutions, tailored to the specific needs of our clients.
