Common questions

Why not just use a spreadsheet?

Spreadsheets are a great start. When several people edit them, or they need to talk to other systems, a small custom tool is safer and faster.

Can you work with our existing data?

Yes. We start from what you have, clean it up and import it.

How long does a custom tool take?

It depends on the scope. We plan it in writing first, so you get a timeline and a fixed quote before we start.
