Databases for Business Operations: From Messy Spreadsheets to Real Apps
Most processes start in a spreadsheet, and at some point most of them outgrow it: more people need in, the data grows, and it starts slowing you down.
This session is about what comes next, and how to give your business operations a real data foundation your team can work on together.
We'll cover the concepts (what well-structured data means and why it matters), then get concrete with Softr Databases: building a clean database and turning it into a real app on top, with controlled access and AI built in.
You'll walk away knowing:
Where spreadsheets stop working, and how to spot the signs early
What well-structured data looks like and why it's the foundation for everything you build
How to go from a spreadsheet to a working app with collaboration, permissions, and AI
No database experience needed, whether you're still in spreadsheets or already building with Softr.
