  • Quickly and accurately can collect thousands of pieces of data which normally would have been done with spreadsheets and cross-referencing.
  • The positive impact is that we are able to do collect thousands of rows of data if needed within seconds. Saving a lot of time that can be applied to other areas of concern in everyday business processes.
