About BridgeStack
BridgeStack is the product studio of Optalytic LLC. We build Excel add-ins that let finance teams, accountants and analysts work with their data directly, in the tool they already use all day.
Why we started
Optalytic is a data and analytics consulting firm. In client work we kept seeing the same thing: capable finance and operations people who couldn't change their own data without help. Fixing fifty rows meant a ticket and a wait. Pulling a report meant a CSV export, a cleanup in Excel, and hoping the data types survived the trip back.
Excel was already where these people did their work, so we asked a simple question: what if Excel could talk to the database directly, safely, with a record of every change? That became Data Bridge Pro, our first product. It is now close to feature-complete and in early access with customers.
BridgeStack is where Optalytic turns problems like that into products. Next on the bench are tools for Power BI semantic models and calendar sync, with accounting tools for CPA firms on the roadmap. You can see the status of each on our products page.
How we build
Start in Excel
Our users already know Excel. We extend it with a ribbon tab instead of asking them to learn another application.
Make mistakes recoverable
Validation before saving, transactions, snapshots for rollback and an audit log. Changing data should never feel risky.
Keep data where it lives
Connections run from your PC to your database. We are clear about the one optional feature that calls an outside service: the AI Query Assistant.
Work with IT, not around it
Our tools use your existing database logins and permissions. If you can't change a table today, Data Bridge Pro won't let you either.
Say where things stand
We label every product as early access, in development or planned, and we only publish prices for products you can actually buy.
Build from real problems
Each product line starts from work we see at clients: database edits, Power BI model upkeep, and busy-season accounting tasks.
