Problem

Accounting and admin departments at Korean SMEs (10-100 employees) rely on Excel VBA macros accumulated over 10-20 years to run core business processes, but these become unmaintainable after the original authors leave the company. Outsourcing conversion of each macro to Python or Google Apps Script costs $750-$2,250 and takes 2-4 weeks, making migration prohibitively expensive.

Solution

Upload a VBA macro file (.xlsm) and an LLM analyzes the code to automatically convert it to Python (openpyxl/pandas) or Google Apps Script, generating automated test cases that compare input/output between the original and converted versions. Sections that cannot be converted are flagged as manual intervention points.

Target: IT administrators at Korean SMEs with 10-100 employees and management support team leads overseeing IT outsourcing (ages 35-55)
Revenue Model: Per Transaction pricing: single macro conversion at $30 (up to 300 lines), $7.50 per additional 100 lines. Monthly Subscription at $75 includes 5 conversions per month.
Ecosystem Role: Supplier
