Harnessing Social Media for Rural Business Growth
Discover how social media can benefit farmers and rural businesses.
Development & Software
Spreadsheet Automation
Make spreadsheets update themselves, check for errors and produce reports on demand.
The problem this solves
Spreadsheets run many rural businesses, but they depend on someone remembering to copy, paste and format. One slip can cause an expensive mistake.
What is included
- Review of your existing spreadsheets
- Formulas, validation and error checks
- Automated imports and exports
- Reports and summaries generated for you
- Moving to a database where a spreadsheet is no longer enough
An example from the countryside
Illustrative example
A farm’s weekly stock sheet is updated by three people. We add validation and automatic summaries so figures stay consistent.
How it works
Understand the job
We watch or talk through how the work is done today and where time or information gets lost.
Agree a small first version
We scope something useful that can go live quickly, then improve it with real use.
Build and test with you
You see working screens early and try them with your own data.
Launch and support
We train the team, keep the system updated and fix issues promptly.
What we need from you
Good software depends on clear decisions about who does what. We need someone who can describe the process, supply sample data and test early versions. We will tell you honestly if an off-the-shelf tool would suit you better.
Questions about spreadsheet automation
Can you keep it in Excel or Google Sheets?
Yes. We improve what you use, and only suggest moving to something else if it would genuinely help.
When should I replace a spreadsheet?
When several people edit it, when errors cost money or when it cannot do what you need. We can advise.
