STACK Construction Technologies, recognized as a leader in cloud-based construction software, has announced a strategic partnership with Velixo, a prominent provider of analytics, reporting and budgeting solutions for Excel. Through this collaboration, the companies have launched STACK for Excel, marking a first-of-its-kind integration that enables users to leverage STACK takeoff and estimating data directly in Excel using the Velixo add-in.
Many contractors still rely on manual exports, copy-paste routines, or one-off macros to align estimating and financial data. This integration bridges the gap between estimating and financial systems, enabling tighter, more automated workflows. STACK for Excel empowers users to build custom reports and dashboards using live data, reducing friction, lowering error risk, and accelerating insight.
“The future of construction lies in unified data, not disjointed silos,” said Ray DeZenzo, CEO of STACK. “By partnering with Velixo, we’re giving customers a powerful new option: access STACK data directly in Excel, in real time, without disrupting their existing workflows. This integration is a natural extension of our mission to simplify and streamline takeoff and estimating processes for contractors. The added byproduct of improving the flow of data in the broader construction ERP ecosystem is just as exciting for our customers as it supports stronger financials and drives more profitable projects.”
Key Benefits for Users
- Access STACK projects, plans, tags, takeoff measurements, item quantities, assemblies, and more directly in Excel
- Leverage STACK tags and labels to filter and structure data
- Create custom dashboards to track estimation progress, team performance, and variance analyses
- Use Excel-native formulas and formatting to combine STACK and ERP data
- Preserve existing Excel-based workflows without forcing users to migrate into a new estimating environment
Unlike many traditional Excel/ERP connectors, STACK for Excel supports all modern Excel versions, doesn’t require STACK to run in the background, and is project-centric (not tied to static file links). When combined with data from leading construction ERP systems like Acumatica, Sage Intacct and Microsoft Dynamics, it offers a unique one-stop environment for estimate-to-actual visibility.
“At Velixo, our goal has always been to make API-based, real-time reporting and budgeting data as flexible and accessible as possible,” said Gabriel Michaud, Founder of Velixo. “With STACK for Excel, we’re thrilled to extend that same capability to STACK users. They can now combine estimating data with ERP data side by side, all in familiar Excel interfaces and with full support from our teams.”
