Workflow
How inquiry handling works in Excel
When inquiries, reception notes, responses, and history stay in one flow, it becomes much easier to prevent misses.
Step 1
Receive
First align the assumptions for inquiries and set the daily operating conditions.
Step 2
Assign
Gather inquiries so each owner can see what is missing.
Step 3
Respond
Bundle the necessary checks and replies into one flow.
Step 4
Close
Save the history so it can support the next review and reporting.
Screen Mapping
Which columns become which screens
When you move the inquiry model directly into screen design, the flow from reception to resolution becomes easy to understand.

Boundary
What stays in Excel and what moves to a system
Inquiry volume, response volume, team size, and history needs determine how Excel and web should be split.
Excel is enough
Small inquiry operations
If you have a small team and only a modest amount of inquiries, Excel can still handle the workflow well.
- Few staff involved
- Low inquiry volume
- Limited entry points
Partial systemization
Lighten confirmation and sharing first
If you move only the list online first, inquiries and sharing become much lighter.
- You want a cleaner inquiry list
- You want to split reception first
- You want to lighten sharing
Full systemization
Build for a system from the start
If you need multiple sites, permission separation, or history retention, it is safer to design for a system from the start.
- Multiple sites
- Permission separation
- History retention

What do you need for an estimate?

Can we use it with our current Excel file?
Yes. You can keep the existing workbook and move only the inquiries list online first.
Is it suitable for mobile use?
Yes. It is designed with field checks in mind, so mobile viewing and input are both part of the concept.
