- Critical workbooks run on macros nobody understands.
- ERP exports need hours of cleanup.
- The person who built your tools has left.

Common questions
Will this turn into a sales pitch?
No. The call is about your project: what needs building, what's stuck, and whether we have the right engineers. If we're not a fit, we'll say so.
What do I get for free?
A project plan, roadmap, cost estimate and ROI estimate within 48 hours of your project call. Your first 5 development hours are free, too. We agree the scope and any paid work with you before proceeding.
Do I need a spec or brief?
No. Tell us the problem in plain words and we'll help shape the scope with you.
Are the engineers really in the U.S.?
Yes. Every engineer lives and works in the United States. No offshore hand-offs, and that's in the contract.

Hire US-based VBA developers from NextGen Coding Company for production planning spreadsheets, bill-of-materials workbooks, inventory reports, and quality data tools. Manufacturing macros often bridge ERP exports and the spreadsheets planners use each shift. The priority is dependable data handling: preserving part numbers, checking units of measure, identifying stale inventory snapshots, and exposing exceptions before a workbook becomes the basis for a production decision.
Excel VBA can coordinate import checks, shortage reports, and print-ready job packets, while Power Query or SQL Server handles suitable data preparation. Deployment should account for Microsoft 365 Apps, shared workstations, approved drivers, and macro security policies. Every engineer lives and works in the US, with no offshore subcontracting. We sign an NDA and full IP assignment before touching code; book a 15-minute call to review your workflow.
Frequently asked questions
- Can VBA automate production planning from ERP exports?
- VBA can import orders, inventory balances, and routing data into a planning workbook, then apply rules your planners define. The design needs explicit treatment of lead times, shift calendars, capacity limits, and missing master data. Keep planning suggestions distinguishable from approved schedules, and show the export timestamp so users know when the underlying information was captured.
- How do you handle multilevel BOMs in Excel VBA?
- A multilevel BOM routine needs parent-child relationships, revision or effectivity rules, quantities, and consistent units of measure. It should detect circular references and missing components rather than looping indefinitely or dropping rows. For larger structures, database queries may be more appropriate than worksheet traversal. Test assemblies with shared components, alternate parts, and fractional usage.
- Can VBA improve inventory and shortage reporting?
- VBA can combine demand and inventory extracts to produce shortage lists using your approved allocation rules. Preserve leading zeros in part numbers and distinguish stock on hand from stock available for use. Test reserved quantities, quarantined material, open purchase orders, and duplicate item-location records. Reports should expose their assumptions instead of presenting an unexplained availability figure.
- Can an Excel VBA tool collect quality inspection results?
- An Excel UserForm can guide inspection entry and validate required fields, measurement ranges, lot identifiers, and timestamps. Storage design matters: a shared workbook may be unsuitable for concurrent collection or controlled recordkeeping. Consider an approved database back end, defined edit permissions, and traceable corrections. Quality owners should specify acceptance criteria and required review steps.
- What should we check before deploying macros on shop-floor PCs?
- Confirm Office version and bitness, Trust Center settings, approved file locations, database drivers, and printer dependencies on representative workstations. Test behavior when network shares are unavailable or an import file is incomplete. Our engineers join your standups and work your hours, allowing deployment planning to account for shift handoffs and periods when production cannot tolerate disruption.
- Are your developers really based in the US?
- Yes. Every engineer lives and works in the United States. No offshore subcontracting and no hand-offs to another team. That's written into the contract.
- How fast can someone start?
- Most teams interview matched engineers within a week of the first call. Start dates depend on your interview process.
