ModelDrive turned financial modeling from a fragile spreadsheet juggle into a structured, scalable system. It reduced errors, boosted team productivity, and enabled deeper focus on strategic insights. With clear workflows and a collaborative hub, financial professionals could finally stop managing the tool – and start mastering the model.

Process

Process

We kicked off with deep user research, speaking directly with financial analysts and decision-makers who lived in spreadsheets daily. Their pain points were clear – fragmented data, error-prone workflows, and collaboration bottlenecks. Excel wasn’t just a tool anymore; it was a liability.

We mapped out key modeling workflows, benchmarked common UI pitfalls in existing platforms, and defined a structure that could bring clarity without oversimplifying. Our solution was a folder-based system for model management, paired with structured variable handling and streamlined data entry.

Track changes leave comments and filter data so your team stays aligned and your models stay clean

Visualise how every number connects with clear dependency trees that make logic easy to follow

Designing the interface meant striking a balance – powerful enough for professionals, intuitive enough to reduce errors. We prototyped early, tested often, and iterated quickly based on user feedback. Variable creation, version control, and shared access were all refined through real-world use cases.

Instead of cramming everything into a flat spreadsheet-like experience, we introduced modularity. Models became structured, reusable components. Teams could collaborate in one shared space, confident their changes wouldn’t disappear in a sea of tabs.
