CAnnection Implements AppSheet for Improved Data Management, Growth and Collaboration
(CA)nnection is a specialist recruitment company established by Russell Field that specializes in finding Chartered Accountants and Finance Professionals for international opportunities. Despite its rapid growth, the company faced challenges with its spreadsheet-based workflow and maintaining data integrity.
Dilemma: Systems Can't Keep Pace with Growth
Initially, (CA)nnection relied on traditional recruitment packages. However, to gain a competitive edge, the company used Microsoft Excel spreadsheets to support its main package, tracking workflow and providing clients with snapshots of their accounts and candidates.
However, with the company’s rapid growth and staff in remote international locations, spreadsheets were no longer sufficient and were prone to errors. According to Russell Field, CEO of (CA)nnection:
“As a distributed international organization, we faced the dilemma of investing in a new third-party application or finding a different solution.”
Solution: AppSheet as a Quick and Secure Alternative
Steegle.com recommended that (CA)nnection consider AppSheet to build a more robust and secure front-end for its data management needs. The solution would maintain the familiar logic of the spreadsheet environment and could be implemented quickly and cost-effectively without the need for data migration. Steegle reassured (CA)nnection that AppSheet would integrate seamlessly with the existing Microsoft technology.
Iterative Implementation with Steegle
Since CAnnection lacked in-house technology expertise, it worked with Steegle on an iterative approach, starting with a feasibility study. Steegle transformed CAnnection‘s spreadsheets into a working prototype based on AppSheet technology.
