At Code Pros, we strive to make businesses run more quickly through custom software development. I have a personal interest in this – efficiency is my jam. So one way I keep track of how we get to help businesses is through a speed improvement list. Here are some of my favorites:

Migrated a PO report generator 4.33s to 0.193s reducing 95% time

E-commerce price calculation speed up from 3 seconds * number of items in the cart to 200ms

Scrape over 25 government websites for specific data - 4 hours by machine, 1 month by human

Invoice list page - was 60 seconds to load the list of invoices, now 2.2s

Attaching images to specific rows in an Access database - 20 seconds per image down to 20 seconds for 30 images

Report generation in EHR system from 1:41 to 6 seconds

One problem I hear business owners complaining about regularly is that they spend too much time managing the administrative pieces of their business. Imagine you get a message from one of your subcontractors, then you have to enter its data into your payroll system so they can get paid, then enter it into the billing system so you can get paid for it, and then enter it into your accounting system, so you can keep track of it, etc. What if you could just enter that data one place one time? You’d reduce the frustrating time you’re spending here. You’d reduce mistakes. You’d get to spend your time on things that you love.

The vision of helping people do more things they’re interested in and fewer things they dislike is how Code Pros is changing the world.
