In today’s world, it’s all about lightning-fast results, and that goes double for software development. IT leaders constantly push to launch updates and prototypes ASAP, all to keep costs down and experiment like crazy scientists.

Jumping no-Code development platforms as a hero

Bubble.io is one of the great tools that allows you to build applications without writing a single line of code.

Customer experience plays a role

Here’s the thing: applications need data, and users need to input it. Adding a product, a category, or some sales info might be a breeze. But what if someone needs to add hundreds or even thousands of entries? Suddenly, it becomes a data entry nightmare for both the user and the app owner. That’s where the familiar comfort of Excel comes in. It just feels easier and faster to bulk-add data that way.

Imagine the time saved and the efficiency boost you could achieve by letting users import their data directly from Excel. Less manual data entry, and a smoother customer onboarding process – that’s what sets your app apart from the crowd.
