“I wanted to invest in a planned solution. Praxent’s [ClickModel] process answers the question, ‘I’ll know it when I see it.’ You can talk programming language ’til the cows come home, but I won’t understand any of it. The clickable prototype is what really brings us onto the same page.”– Greg Crabtree / CEO / Crabtree

The Outcomes
The Problem
Crabtree, Rowe & Berger, PC is a CPA practice dedicated to helping entrepreneurs interpret financial data to make smarter business decisions. To further this goal, CEO Greg Crabtree established a data analysis tool called Simple Numbers℠ that enables business owners and managers to interpret actionable business strategy from their QuickBooks® accounting data. Unfortunately, the tool required Greg’s firm to manually enter and reformat data for hundreds of clients, a time-consuming process that limited their ability to scale.
It was clear to Greg that they needed some help with business process automation, as well as improved custom reporting software, so that they could make the most of the winning concept behind Simple Numbers℠.
Crabtree needed a custom solution that would automatically reformat a client’s data using the Simple Numbers methodology with little to no customer support required. After meeting with several software development companies, Crabtree selected Praxent because of our software prototyping process called ClickModel and our Agile software development approach that would ensure the final product would match the firm’s vision.
We’ve always seen the opportunity for custom software [for our firm], but have never found a trusted partner with the process to pull it through successfully. With Praxent we finally found someone who understood our vision and had a clear plan for realizing it.
