A familiar ribbon, with formulas your shop actually needs

Anyone who has used Excel already knows how to use Axis Sheets. The difference is in the formulas: INVQOH pulls live on-hand stock straight from your inventory, and functions like SCRAPQTY, YIELD, and CPK do the manufacturing math for you.

Type a formula and the cells it references light up — the green cell is live on-hand stock, the amber cells are the other arguments.

Everything you reach for in Excel and Word — plus the manufacturing parts

A full-featured spreadsheet and document editor, with the formulas, templates, and live data that generic office tools will never have.

Office-style ribbon

A tabbed ribbon toolbar — Home, Insert, Formulas, Data, View — that anyone who uses Excel or Word already knows how to drive. No training, no learning curve.

Manufacturing formulas

INVQOH pulls live on-hand stock, SCRAPQTY grosses up a quantity for a scrap rate, YIELD gives first-pass yield, and CPK, OEE, and TAKT handle process capability, equipment effectiveness, and takt time.

Formula range highlighting

Type a formula and every cell it references lights up right on the grid — so you can see exactly what a calculation is pulling from before you trust the number.

Built-in templates

Start from an inspection report with auto PASS/FAIL, a BOM cost rollup, a cycle-count sheet, or SPC data collection — plus document templates for SOPs, work instructions, NCRs, and ECOs.

Connected to Axis data

Sheets pull real inventory numbers through inventory formulas, so a cost rollup or a min/max worksheet reflects what’s actually on the shelf — not a number someone typed in last month.

Saves automatically

Every edit is saved as you type — no more “final_v3_REAL.xlsx” floating around five inboxes. One document, one place, always current.

Conditional formatting, validation & charts

Color cells by rule, constrain entries with data validation, and drop in bar, line, or pie charts — the spreadsheet tools your team expects, all in the ribbon.

Handles big spreadsheets

Grid virtualization keeps scrolling smooth through 10,000-plus rows, so a full part list or a year of SPC readings stays fast instead of grinding to a halt.

Real documents, not just notes

The doc editor paginates like Word — page margins, a table of contents, and approval blocks — so an SOP or work instruction prints and reads like a controlled document, not a wiki page.

Documents that read like controlled paperwork

The document editor paginates with Word-style margins, builds a table of contents, and drops in approval blocks — so an SOP or work instruction looks like a release-ready document, not a note.

Start from a template, not a blank grid

Every template is a real, working manufacturing document — formulas wired up, columns labeled, sign-offs in place.

Inspection report

Characteristics, tolerances, and automatic PASS/FAIL on every measured dimension.

BOM cost rollup

Quantity × cost × scrap with extended totals and a rolled-up cost per unit.

Cycle count sheet

System quantity vs counted quantity with variance math computed for you.

SPC data collection

Subgroups with X-bar and range formulas ready for control charting.

Production traveler

Routing steps with operator sign-offs, ready to run alongside a work order.

SOP

Standard operating procedure with revision history and approval block.

Work instruction

Step-by-step instructions with key points and verification checks.

Nonconformance & ECO

NCR with containment and disposition, plus engineering change orders with approvals.

Your documents live where your data does

Because Sheets and Docs are part of Axis, a cost rollup can pull live on-hand stock with INVQOH, and a procedure can sit right next to the build plan it governs. No exporting, no re-keying, no stale copy emailed around the shop.
