Problem 
Utility Line Services, Inc., a Maryland company, was running their business on a cadre of Excel spreadsheets. The spreadsheets tracked work requests for installation of underground utilities. It became difficult and time consuming to maintain and share the data in multiple Excel files, especially with the staff working in the field.

Solution
The client wanted a small custom software application to be built quickly, which would allow multiple users to access and maintain data remotely. Ectobox very quickly built a custom Microsoft Access database application to fit the client's unique needs.

Result 
The users can now access their work requests data in the custom Access application from anywhere (over their previously existing remote access solution). This new solution prevents the users from using duplicate or out-of-date data, and makes finding and maintaining the data much easier and quicker with features not available in Excel.
