Boom, my boss agrees that the work I’ve spent the last 3 months on cross checking spreadsheets, manually inputting 100s of records into the system, then closing them and inputting more records isn’t the best way to do this particular task.

As the process wasn’t designed for this.

So I’m getting to build a new program that will integrate with the existing software, but make the job easier.

It’s not going to be easy, the software only supports web services so no apis, and it is massively lacking in documentation, but hey, I actually get to do some development work.

And there is no deadline, but I’ll probably knock up proper requirement gathering docs etc, so it gets done properly
