Spreadsheet-to-App / Internal CRM

Who this is for

This service fits teams where a spreadsheet has become the real business system, but is no longer comfortable or safe to manage.

• Small businesses managing clients in spreadsheets
• Recruitment teams tracking candidates manually
• Consultants managing leads and follow-ups
• Service teams tracking jobs or requests
• Operations teams needing a simple internal CRM

Typical problems

• Statuses are unclear or updated inconsistently
• Several people edit the same fragile spreadsheet
• Follow-ups and next actions are easy to miss
• Managers cannot see pipeline or workload quickly
• Data fields grew without a clean structure
• The team wants a simpler daily interface

What the work includes

The work turns spreadsheet logic into a structured internal tool or CRM-style tracker. The first version usually focuses on core records, statuses, ownership, follow-ups, dashboard views, and handover documentation.

• Review the current spreadsheet and workflow rules
• Define core entities, fields, statuses, and relationships
• Create a simple interface for daily updates
• Add dashboard views for status, workload, and follow-ups
• Document the structure so the team can maintain it

Example use cases

A service company replaces a spreadsheet with a tracker for requests, owners, status, due dates, notes, and follow-ups.

Recruitment pipeline

A recruitment team structures candidates, vacancies, contacts, follow-ups, and statuses into a CRM-style workflow.

Consulting lead CRM

How the work starts

Share the spreadsheet

Provide a sample or anonymized version of the current file and explain how it is used.

Define first version

The first version defines which workflow, records, and statuses must be included first.

Build the pilot

The first version is built around daily use, not every possible edge case.

Review and handover

You test the workflow and receive notes for using and improving it.
