Most business apps follow the same pattern: Add. Update. Delete. List.

And then comes the “list” screen with a data grid…which is often too basic to be useful.

No proper filtering, Limited sorting, Barely any control over data.

So what do users do? They export to Excel. If excel sheet make their workflow better then why should your product exist.

A good product doesn’t just store data. It helps users work with it efficiently.

• Filter on most fields
• Sort easily
• Make data exploration intuitive

If your grid feels like a limitation, users will find a workaround. And that workaround is usually Excel.
