Spreadsheet to app
It started as a quick sheet. Now there are tabs nobody touches, formulas one person understands, and three versions emailed around. That’s usually the moment to turn it into an app.
Already built: Runsheet Pilot turns a service runsheet into a ProPresenter playlist. Quote Pilot replaces the quoting spreadsheet.
The columns become a form that can’t be filled in wrong.
No more v3_final_FINAL.xlsx going round by email.
The step where someone moves numbers between two places by hand, done for them.
Usually when the same information lives in three places and keeping them in sync has become someone’s job. Or the first time a decision gets made on an old copy. That’s when I turn it into an app everyone works from, live.
Sometimes a better spreadsheet is the answer. If several people need it at once, it’s filled in on a phone, or data gets copied by hand, an app usually earns its keep.
It depends on the job, so there’s no price list. First we talk through how you work and where it hurts. That’s a conversation, not a sales pitch. Then you get a quote that lists the cost and exactly what’s included, and nothing is built until you approve it.
Probably not. A five minute job someone redoes every week used to cost more to fix than to put up with. AI has lowered the cost of building good software, and I still design, check and test every part of it. Now leaving the problem alone is usually the expensive option.
Most of what I’ve built is used by church volunteers who get no training at all. If a tool hasn’t paid off in the first two minutes, nobody opens it again, so that’s the bar.
If something needs fixing or changing, email me. I’ll look at it, tell you what it’ll take, and start once you’ve approved the quote.
You do. Your data and the code belong to your business, so you’re never stuck with me. If it’s a tool several businesses share, there’s a monthly fee instead, and we’ll agree an arrangement that works for both of us before anything starts.
Let’s have a chat. It goes straight to me, and I’ll reply by email.
