Outside the Inbox designs and builds custom internal applications using Google Workspace and Microsoft tools to help organizations automate workflows, manage information, and reduce manual work.
Our services are ideal for organizations that need something specific, not another off-the-shelf platform.
We design and build purpose-built internal applications tailored to your organization’s workflows.
Examples include:
Program or activity management systems
Scheduling and planning tools
Internal CRMs and tracking systems
Intake, eligibility, or request management tools
Replacement systems for complex spreadsheets
Tools used:
Google AppSheet, Google Sheets, Microsoft Power Apps, Lists, Excel, Google Apps Script
Each application is designed for real users — mobile-friendly, secure, and easy to maintain.
Manual processes waste time and introduce errors. We automate them.
We help organizations:
Connect forms to databases automatically
Trigger actions based on events or status changes
Generate emails, documents, or reports automatically
Sync data across Google and Microsoft tools
Examples:
Form submission → automated record creation
Status change → email notification
Daily or weekly summary reports sent automatically
Auto-generated IDs, logs, and audit trails
We build clear, role-based dashboards so the right people see the right information.
This includes:
Leadership dashboards
Staff task or workload views
Program metrics and summaries
Compliance and reporting snapshots
Dashboards are designed to support decisions — not overwhelm users with data.
Sometimes the biggest issue isn’t the tool — it’s the workflow.
We work with you to:
Map your current process
Identify bottlenecks and duplication
Design a cleaner, more efficient system
Build tools that match real-world behavior
This ensures your system works with your team, not against them.
We don’t just build and disappear.
Support options include:
Staff onboarding and training
Admin training for internal maintenance
Written documentation and how-to guides
Ongoing support, updates, and enhancements
You’ll always understand how your system works — and how to grow it over time.
