Why was this built?

There was no affordable or practical way to produce real-time, accurate sales quotes without relying on expensive CRM or quoting software. Most available systems required monthly subscriptions, individual user logins, and constant internet access, creating unnecessary barriers for small and mid-sized teams.

The Quoting Calculator + Estimate Form was developed to solve that problem by giving sales staff a reliable, Excel-based tool that calculates, adjusts, and presents quotes instantly during client meetings. It replaces subscription systems that typically cost between $500 and $1,500 per month, offering the same functionality in a simple, cost-effective format that keeps pricing consistent and presentations professional.

Business Evaluation Tool
Custom Built Replacement of a Business Intelligence (BI) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System.

The Business Evaluation Tool (BET) is a comprehensive, Excel-based performance management system designed to bring financial, operational, and staffing data together into one unified, intelligent dashboard. Built for business owners and managers who need clarity without complexity, the BET transforms scattered reports from systems like RevolutionEHR, QuickBooks, and TimeClock platforms into an easy-to-use command center.

Developed specifically for healthcare and optometry practices, the BET delivers the same level of insight typically reserved for high-end business intelligence or ERP software—without subscriptions, logins, or technical maintenance. It allows leadership to see how every service line, staff member, and day contributes to overall profitability, patient flow, and operational efficiency.

Core Benefits:

Unified Oversight:
Combines billing, payroll, and timeclock data into one view for real-time awareness of profitability and performance.
Automated Analysis:
Calculates margins, labor costs, productivity, and service profitability through structured formulas and logic.
Visual Decision Support:
Dashboards highlight trends and outliers so leaders can make informed decisions with confidence.
Scalable and Portable:
Built entirely in Excel with no internet, subscriptions, or third-party systems required.
Actionable Insights:
Identifies top-performing staff and services, detects inefficiencies, and tracks profitability by day or department.

Why was this built?

There was no practical system available to bring together data from RevolutionEHR, QuickBooks, and employee timeclock programs into one organized view. Each platform provided its own information, but none could combine patient sales, service profitability, and staff performance in a way that was easy to manage or understand.

The only options capable of this level of integration were large ERP-style software systems that typically cost between $1,000 and $3,000 per month, making them too expensive and unnecessary for most small to mid-sized practices. The Business Evaluation Tool (BET) solves this by merging all essential data inside a single, easy-to-use Excel framework, offering the same level of clarity and control without the ongoing subscription costs or complicated setup.

Student Grading & Tracking System
Replacement for Schoolwide Grading and Progress Reporting Platforms

The Student Grading & Tracking System is a custom-built solution developed in Excel and hosted through Google Sheets. It was designed to simplify grading, communication, and performance tracking across an entire school in one connected workspace. Built for teachers and administrators, the tool brings together all classroom data such as grades, student contact details, and weekly progress into one organized system that can be updated and viewed collaboratively in real time.

Each teacher maintains a personal gradebook that automatically links to a master list of all students, allowing staff to view complete academic records, generate progress reports, and review student performance instantly. The system also is setup for mail-merge that enables staff to send professional, customized progress reports to parents and students at the click of a button.

This process eliminates the need for manual report creation and ensures consistent, accurate communication every week.

Core Benefits:

Centralized Gradebook:
Combines every teacher’s classroom records into one shared schoolwide database for easy access and organization.
Automated Progress Reports:
Built-in mail-merge formatting allows teachers to quickly send individual weekly or term reports to students and parents.
Visual Performance Tracking: Provides clear charts that display week-by-week progress, making it easy to discuss performance trends during parent-teacher conferences.
Collaborative Access: Hosted in Google Sheets so teachers and administrators can update, monitor, and manage grades together in real time.
Streamlined Management:
Stores student and parent emails, grading scales, and term lengths in one place to reduce redundancy and errors.
Data Transparency:
Helps educators identify academic strengths, weaknesses, and trends with both visual and numerical insights.

Why was this built?

There was no practical and affordable way for schools to manage grading, track student performance, and communicate progress in one simple system. Existing platforms like PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, and Schoology can perform similar tasks but often require yearly licensing, technical setup, and training. These subscription systems typically cost between $2,000 and $5,000 per year, depending on school size and number of users, making them difficult to justify for smaller institutions or classrooms.

The Student Grading & Tracking System was created to provide the same level of functionality without ongoing fees or technical complexity. By combining grade management, student communication, and visual reporting into one Google Sheets workspace, it gives schools complete control of their data while allowing staff to collaborate seamlessly. It delivers the performance of a full-scale grading platform at a fraction of the cost, offering an efficient, transparent, and customizable solution that fits the needs of any educational environment.
