Please comment  on the level of service you received (how quickly the job was completed, questions answered well and communication clear)Grant answered every email within the day of sending it, arrived and rescheduled (at my request) to appointments on time, was clear, personable and efficient with his questions in gathering the information that he would need to create the product we needed, and with superb, easy to understand communication.  I especially like the lack of tech-speak, discerning questions and confident manner that Grant used when discussing the problem and potential solution.  He communicated the scope of work, timeline and investment clearly, and kept to budget both in time and dollars.  He offered options within the scope which enabled us to utilise his skills and maximise our time.

Please comment on how well the final product met your expectations:The final product is clean, simple and easy to use.  It has removed the clutter, and enables us to input data and harvest that data with minimum use of time.  We are very impressed with how well Grant grasped our needs and almost intuitively worked to create something which is both familiar but much better.

Please comment on value for money or how much time you think the spreadsheet will save you: I wish I had connected with Custom Spreadsheet Solutions NZ much earlier.  The return on investment in time means I will spend about half to a quarter of the time I had previously spend mining the data for necessary information. In terms of value for money, it will pay for itself within the month, and leave me with more time to focus on other areas.  We fully recommend and endorse both the product and the process provided by Custom Spreadsheet Solutions NZ.

Tony Ford, New World Broadway

Grant of Customer Spreadsheet Solutions has partnered with us for the past few years and helped create a number of spreadsheet business tools which have been substantial in the way they help us run our business effectively.  These include KPI Performance Dashboards for our various departments, Staff Surveys, and Productivity Calculators.  Whether it’s building an Excel business tool from scratch or improving the functionality of what we already have, Grant has always been willing to tackle what we give him and does so with quick turnarounds.  We highly recommend CSS.

Deidre Richardson, Mitre 10 Palmerston North

The spreadsheets Grant made for us are excellent. It is time saving and amazing what he can do. It makes life easier and buys back precious time. It is such a breeze working with him because he understands what I am trying to achieve. Grant is easy to talk to and doesn’t talk over or down to me. He uses language that I understand, even though I am not tech savvy. It is amazing how much time he has helped me claw back, by having my magic spreadsheets. I would absolutely recommend Grant to others.

Sandra Phippen, Business Management Services

Grant has done a number of spreadsheets for us. They are quite complicated and involve a lot of links and lookup formulas which is beyond my ability so it’s way more efficient for us to use Grant’s services to set those up for us. The turnaround time for jobs has always been really quick. If I’ve got any problems with those spreadsheets, it’s no problem to send them back to Grant for a quick fix, like if we need things added to them that’s never been a problem. I would have no hesitation in recommending Grant to other people. Using Grant has been a big timesaver for us, because we just don’t have those skills in-house.

Adam Ryan, Alitech

Before working with Grant, we had multiple spreadsheets across different areas of the business, which meant a lot of repetitive data entry and inefficiency. Grant helped us consolidate everything into a single, streamlined system where the data now connects seamlessly between sheets. The result has been a valuable time-saver and has given me much better visibility across all areas of the business. It’s also far more user-friendly for our team — making day-to-day tasks quicker and easier to manage. It was a smooth process from start to finish. Grant was easy to work with and understood what we needed. Grant was great to work with — he made the process easy and delivered exactly what we needed.

What I really like about using the spreadsheet that Grant made for me is that it saves me about 2 hours every month, and it is more accurate than our previous system. It has made a huge difference. Some of the benefits I have enjoyed from using it include having all the information in one place and not having to enter information into different places but it is all pulled through into one area. I highly recommend Grant because he is very good at what he does, he is approachable, and if you have any issues you can just pick up the phone and ask for help.

The product you get is value for money and any issues or tweaks needed are done after care support is great.
