Case studies › Celaé

Celaé replaced its Excel files with a single application, in 21 days

  • 10 h saved per week, for each of the 13 employees
  • 90% fewer data-entry errors
  • 80% less time to decide

Files that ended up contradicting each other

Celaé assesses social and medico-social care facilities and audits training organisations. Each job involves an assessor, a schedule, documents, then an invoice.

All of that lived in several Excel files, a Google Drive, emails and paper notes. The Excel files drifted apart. A job updated in one place was not updated in another, and before every decision someone first had to check which version was right.

One application for the whole assessment cycle

A single application, where every assessment and every audit is followed from start to finish.

The first version was running after 21 days. The rest was added module by module, tested by the team along the way.

  • The assessors and their schedule
  • Each job's documents, in one place
  • Invoicing, connected to Axonaute, the invoicing software Celaé already used
  • Alerts so nothing is forgotten
  • A dashboard so the manager sees activity in real time
