What makes our tools different, and why you win using them

A good steering tool isn't just a file packed with formulas. It's a deliverable that's thought through, structured, calibrated on your real data, with indicators that speak to your business and a built-in user guide. That's what we deliver, every mission.

Full autonomy

You keep control of the tool. You open it, modify it, extend it. No subscription to pay, no vendor to chase.

Zero learning curve

The tool is delivered on the platform your teams already master. No software training, no adoption blockers.

One-time cost, lasting value

You pay for the build once. You reap the value for years, with no monthly bill piling up.

Delivery format: by default, our tools are delivered on Excel, because it's the most open and universal medium. On request, we also deliver in Python, web apps or Google Sheets. The format follows the need, not the other way round.

Three tool families, three levels of complexity

Concrete examples of what you get

The cases below are representative examples built from recurring issues we encounter among our prospects. They illustrate the kind of result Nexelys produces.

Simple tools · €250 ex VAT

Case #1: Independent restaurant

The need: the owner didn't know precisely which dishes were profitable and which were not. He suspected that some "popular" dishes were losing him money.

The delivered tool: an Excel file with gross margin calculation per dish, including raw material cost, kitchen labour cost and a share of fixed costs per cover.

The result: identification of 3 negative-margin dishes on the menu. Recipe adjustment for 2 of them, removal of the 3rd. Estimated margin gain: +4 points on monthly revenue, i.e. payback in 2 months.

Advanced tools · €700 ex VAT

Case #2: Services company

The need: management wanted to understand why some customers were very profitable and others not, and to adjust the pricing grid accordingly.

The delivered tool: a monthly steering dashboard crossing revenue, margin, acquisition cost and service cost by customer segment (4 segments identified).

The result: discovery that one segment representing 15% of revenue generated only 5% of margin (under-billed), while another segment was generating excessive margin that could justify a competitive offer. Pricing grid realignment. Estimated first-year gain: 6 to 8% additional net margin.

Custom tools · €1,500 ex VAT

Case #3: Multi-segment industrial player

The need: the sales management team wanted a pricing model factoring in several variables (volume, frequency, customer tenure, region, product) to avoid unjustified price gaps between similar customers.

The delivered tool: a multiple linear regression model on Excel, calibrated on 3 years of sales history. Simple interface to simulate a new customer price by entering 5 parameters.

The result: identification of 7 hidden margin points (customers under-billed compared to their peers). Progressive pricing grid update over 6 months, with no customer loss. Cumulative annual gain: 4.2% of annual revenue.

These examples are representative cases built from real issues encountered among our prospects. The figures reflect orders of magnitude we have observed but do not constitute contractual commitments. Since each situation is unique, results vary according to your context.

Frequently asked questions

A 20-minute call. We discuss your business, your issue, the data you have. At the end, we tell you whether a Nexelys tool can help you, and which one. No obligation to order afterwards. Some prospects leave with free advice and that's perfectly fine.

That is precisely why the diagnostic is free. Together we identify your real need, which is not always the one you had in mind. The final quote reflects the real need, not a premature order.

Subscriptions give you access to standardised sector analyses (transport, real estate, construction, economic outlook). The tools are built bespoke for your company, with your data. They are two complementary offers: many clients use both.

It depends on the tool. For a simple tool, your accounting figures from the last 12 months are usually enough. For a custom tool, we work on longer and more detailed history. Your data remains strictly confidential (implicit confidentiality agreement, never shared with third parties).

The 2 included revisions are precisely there to adjust the tool to your real usage. In 95% of cases, these revisions are enough. If despite this the tool does not meet the initial need, we find a solution (rework, partial refund or rebuild depending on the case).

A SaaS typically costs €100 to €500/month, i.e. €1,200 to €6,000 per year. A Nexelys tool costs between €200 and €2,000 ex VAT as a one-off. Over 3 years, you save several thousand euros and keep full control. SaaS platforms are valuable in very specific cases. For the vast majority of steering needs, a custom deliverable remains unbeatable.

Yes. Recurring cases include: restaurants, independent retail, construction, industry, business services, liberal professions, healthcare. The diagnostic lets us tailor the tool to your sector.
