Pratt & Whitney is a renowned aerospace manufacturer specializing in the design, production, and service of aircraft engines, including both commercial and military applications. They are known for their cutting- edge technology and innovation in the aviation industry, providing reliable and high-performance propulsion systems for a wide range of aircraft. Despite their cutting-edge technology and market leadership, Pratt & Whitney faced a critical challenge: an outdated Proposal/ROM Valuation Tool (PRVT) that relied on cumbersome Excel spreadsheets.

As the data volume and complexity continued to grow, the limitations of this tool became frustrating for their teams. Teams struggled with version control, inconsistent calculations, and limited visibility into the latest data, resulting in delays, errors, and rework across departments. They recognized the urgent need to transform this outdated system into a modern, web-based solution.

To address these challenges, Pratt & Whitney partnered with i3solutions, a trusted Excel to web application development firm, to modernize and streamline their internal estimating tool. Our team led the transformation of their Proposal/ROM Valuation Tool (PRVT), migrating it from a complex, spreadsheet-driven Excel application into a scalable, web-based solution. The goal was not simply to digitize the process but to completely rethink and rebuild it to deliver a modern platform that would improve collaboration, eliminate manual inefficiencies, and scale with evolving business needs.

Our engagement began with a strategic discovery phase, consistent with our approach to delivering tailored Excel workflow modernization solutions. We conducted in-depth stakeholder interviews and a comprehensive assessment of PRVT’s underlying logic, workflows, and pain points. This allowed us to design a roadmap tailored to Pratt & Whitney’s specific requirements to preserve the value of their existing models while positioning the new system for long-term agility and growth.

As part of our end-to-end Excel to web development services, we engineered a custom solution using the Microsoft technology stack. The resulting web application offers secure access from any internet-enabled device and features real-time updates, centralized data handling, and seamless integration with other enterprise tools. The application replaced Excel with a scalable web application that streamlines operations and significantly enhances user experience. A thoughtfully designed interface, intuitive dashboards, and flexible configuration options empower users to complete tasks with greater accuracy and speed.

By replacing Excel with a scalable web application, Pratt & Whitney eliminated the limitations that once hindered performance and decision-making. Updates to the tool can be rolled out quickly, without the need for downloads or version tracking. Customization is simple, allowing the platform to evolve in lockstep with business priorities. With their new web-enabled PRVT, Pratt & Whitney now benefits from a flexible, centralized solution that turns data into action and spreadsheets into strategic assets.
