Replace shared spreadsheets with one internal tool

I replace requests spread across spreadsheets, inboxes and chat with one system for records, ownership and follow-up work.

I reply by email within one business day. The €250 audit is credited toward the build.

The problem

When a shared spreadsheet runs the operation

The spreadsheet runs the operation

Several people update the same request, but it is hard to tell who owns the next step or why its status changed.

The process is split across tools

Staff copy information between a spreadsheet, inbox and chat. A custom tool puts the record and the next action in one place.

BeHappy LMS

A platform where each tenant sees only its own data, enforced by row-level security on every table rather than by application logic that can be bypassed. Built end to end — schema, authentication, frontend and infrastructure.

The school platform demonstrates how I separate records and permissions across teams. An internal CRM would use those decisions for its own records and roles; the exact fields and workflow would come from the process audit.

Delivery

What replaces the spreadsheet

One operational record

Each request has an owner, a status and a history of changes. Staff can see what needs attention without comparing several spreadsheets.

Roles and permissions

Access rules are enforced at the database level.

Automation underneath

The routine steps run on their own — reminders, imports, reports, syncing with the tools you already pay for.

Pricing

An internal tool costs €2,500–6,000

Every project starts with a fixed-price process audit: €250, three to five days, credited toward the build. Most internal tools then cost €2,500–6,000 and take 4–8 weeks. A product with multi-tenancy, billing and an admin panel starts at €9,000.

FAQ

FAQ

Why not Airtable, Notion or Retool?

For many teams those are the right answer, and I'll tell you so. They stop making sense when per-seat pricing outgrows the value, when you need permissions they can't express, or when the tool becomes something you'd rather own than rent.

Can it connect to the systems I already use?

That's usually most of the work — accounting, CRM, email, payments, whatever you're already paying for. The automation layer handles the connections.

What if I need changes later?

Three months of warranty is included: if the tool does not do what I agreed to build, I fix it at no charge. After that, I offer an optional monthly plan from €150 for monitoring, fixes and small changes. You have the code and documentation whether you take the plan or not.

How long before I see something?

A working prototype within five working days of the audit. It is incomplete on purpose — it exists so you can click through the real flow while changing it is still cheap.
