“It was a pleasure working with Bottorff Consulting on the implementation of database and Excel applications for our business. Rich listened closely to our user needs and concerns and was able to work within our cost and time constraints to provide an optimal solution for each project.
A multifunctional Excel database was created from scratch for our nonconformance and ‘CAPA’ system. The database provided an electronic forum for documenting, resolving, reviewing and approving process nonconformances. Another key project was the creation of a spreadsheet interface that obtains data input by a user and transfers it into a barcoding system. Validation of the systems went smoothly due to Rich’s ability to ensure the product is robust prior to delivering it to us.
Rich’s ability to interpret user needs and fuse them in with a highly functional design is outstanding. The value he brings to a project through his experience and knowledge is second to none, and I would definitely recommend him for similar projects.”

“Rich has helped Nyhart with various technical projects related to the qualified retirement plan arena. Rich’s tax and technical expertise have been an enormous help on a number of special projects. His technical skills within Excel are extremely high and his creativity in handling data in any number of formats allows him to complete extremely difficult projects in a short amount of time. Rich has been priceless to us on a number of projects and I hope to use him on many more in the future.”

“Our Commercial Operations Department at Spartan Financial Partners contracted with Bottorff Consulting to streamline our funding process in Q3 of 2012. Even though Rich worked with us on a consulting basis, he became part of our team for the entire process! He listened to our needs and took the time to understand our current process and what we hoped to achieve. He worked with us to develop not just a more efficient process, but one that could be leveraged by other departments as well. As a result, we’ve been able to limit our need for additional staffing while increasing our funding productivity. We were well pleased with Rich’s work and would highly recommend Bottorff Consulting!”

“During his time here at Wellpoint, Rich was a very quick learner and was able to identify issues and the corresponding solutions. He had a dramatic impact by increasing productivity within our department in the following ways:
· By developing an Excel tool that allows our associates to obtain agent information even when our systems are down. In addition, the tool allows filtering options not available on the software system we use and produces information in a much easier to read format
· By creating other Excel tools that enabled us to review exception records in a much quicker, more efficient manner. I estimate that the tools Rich has implemented saves over 35 hours per week for myself alone
· Finally, he took the time to share his vast knowledge Excel and Access that have helped me to do my job more even better
I highly recommend Bottorff Consulting!”

“We hired Rich to make enhancements to an excel global consolidating cash forecast model system that had inputs for 11 different global locations using multiple currencies. Rich was able to identify problems, logjams, and model linking issues. His solution through a macro design eliminated linking and logjam problems, reducing hours spent weekly by 95%. Consolidation can now be in processed in a couple of minutes. We found Rich to be of the highest integrity and would highly recommend him for troubleshooting and design issues in Excel models.”

"Rich was able to build an Excel spreadsheet to perform vehicle searches based on customer inputs returning the number and list of vehicles meeting minimum criteria, by location, sorted by profit or book value. He was able to build this for 1/3 the annual fee we were previously paying.
Rich also helped another location with their sales tracking spreadsheet. In a couple of hours, he was able to clean-up the issues they were having and set it up so that no further adjustments would be required by the staff or manager for the remainder of the year.
I highly recommend Bottorff Consulting!"
