Do you have a Debbie?

She built the system. She's the only one who understands it. And her last day is coming.

1:36Starring Matt Whitehall, and Elise Pate as “Debbie”No spreadsheets were harmed in the making of this film.

Every company has a Debbie.

She's the one who knows why the spreadsheet has 40 tabs, which tab not to touch, and where the password lives. She's great at her job, which is exactly why nobody ever asked her to write it down.

Debbie isn't the problem. Having only one Debbie is.

What “Debbie-proofing” actually looks like

No jargon and no big-bang rewrite. We build around the way your business already works.

1

Get it out of her head

We sit down with the people who know the process and map what they actually do, including the parts nobody has ever written down.

2

Get it out of the spreadsheet

We build custom software around your real workflow. The spreadsheet usually isn't the problem. The manual work around it is.

3

Get it into a system anyone can run

One place, simple to learn, so a new person can take over without a 40-tab treasure hunt.

When the manual work around a spreadsheet goes away, it's common to get hours back every week. And Debbie finally gets to take a vacation.

Let's talk about your Debbie.

A 30-minute, no-pressure conversation about what you've got, what's at risk, and whether we can help. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so.
