Excel

Excel is the spreadsheet software in Microsoft's Office suite.

Connecting Excel to Monstock allows you to use .xlsx files to export your data, import them or even update them.

The data import and export function between Monstock and Excel offers a simple and universal solution for centralising, analysing and updating all information essential to operational management. Thanks to this feature, it is now possible to combine the robustness of Monstock with the flexibility of Excel spreadsheets to quickly manipulate large volumes of data.

Monstock makes it easy to import and export strategic information such as products, variants and equipment, customers and suppliers, customer and supplier orders, sites and locations, and purchase and sale prices. Even users can be synchronised, ensuring consistent management of roles and profiles across different systems.

These automated operations eliminate manual data entry and significantly reduce the risk of errors associated with file handling. Data can be updated in just a few clicks from Excel and then integrated into Monstock, while information from Monstock can be exported for analysis, sorting or modelling in Excel. This smooth flow of data ensures that teams have permanent access to consistent, reliable and up-to-date information.

Operationally, import/export saves a considerable amount of time: it facilitates bulk updates to stock levels, prices and product sheets, while ensuring data traceability and compliance in Monstock. Strategically, it becomes a powerful tool for analysing, managing and planning operations thanks to the Excel environment, which is particularly appreciated for its user-friendliness and reporting capabilities.

This feature is designed for both administrative teams and operational managers who want to retain the flexibility of spreadsheets while relying on a structured system. By combining Monstock and Excel, companies gain agility, performance, and management quality in their supply chain.

Flow from Monstock to Excel

From Monstock, several types of data are automatically exported to Excel:

• Products, variants and equipment: all product information (references, characteristics, variants) is synchronised so that it can be analysed or updated from the spreadsheet.
• Customers and suppliers as well as customer and supplier orders: this data can be extracted for commercial monitoring, invoicing or performance analysis.
• Sites and locations: storage structures and locations are exported to facilitate reporting and organisational adjustments.
• Selling price and purchase price: price values are continuously updated, ensuring perfect consistency between tools.
• Users: employee profiles, roles, and access rights are also exported for consolidated monitoring.

These feeds enable Excel to be used as a dynamic reporting tool, while maintaining the reliability of data from the Monstock source system.
