Get Started with Sheetloom as a Platform (PaaS)


Secure, Governed Data — Without the Operational Overhead

Sheetloom provides a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) approach to spreadsheet-based decision infrastructure — enabling organisations to deliver governed, reliable data into Excel without managing complex data pipelines or exposing sensitive systems. All data resides within the customer's AWS account, in the customer's geographic region. Deployment is via the AWS Marketplace or directly via Sheetloom engineers. There is no minimum term and it's free (excluding AWS charges) to experiment with.


Why PaaS for Spreadsheet Workflows?

Traditional spreadsheet workflows rely on:

  • Manual exports
  • Direct database access
  • Uncontrolled file distribution

This creates operational risk, security exposure, and inconsistency.

Sheetloom replaces this with a managed, governed delivery layer.


Security by Design

No Direct Database Access

Users never connect directly to your core data systems.

Instead:

  • Data is securely retrieved by Sheetloom
  • Processed centrally
  • Delivered as controlled outputs

Result:
Sensitive systems remain protected from uncontrolled access.

Centralised Governance

All data delivery is managed from a single platform:

  • Approved templates define structure
  • Data sources are centrally configured
  • Access rules are enforced consistently

Result:
No spreadsheet sprawl. No fragmented logic.


Controlled Data Exposure

Only approved data is delivered into spreadsheets.

  • No ad-hoc queries
  • No accidental overexposure
  • No hidden joins or logic drift

Result:
Users see exactly what they need — nothing more.

Full Auditability

Every generated spreadsheet can be:

  • Reproduced exactly
  • Traced to its source data
  • Verified against a specific point in time

Result:
Audit-ready decision outputs across finance, risk, and compliance.


Infrastructure Without the Burden

As a PaaS solution, Sheetloom removes the need to:

  • Build custom data pipelines for Excel
  • Maintain export scripts or cron jobs
  • Manage spreadsheet distribution manually
  • Handle version control across teams

Result:
Your teams focus on decisions — not data plumbing.


Built for Enterprise Environments

Sheetloom integrates into modern data ecosystems:

  • SQL databases
  • APIs
  • Flat files
  • Cloud data platforms

Deployment options:

  • Secure cloud-hosted environments
  • Self-hosted within your infrastructure

Result:
Flexibility without compromising security.
