Has the tracker become a hidden workflow system?
Which version is the source of truth?
Copies are emailed, downloaded and edited while several people believe they have the current file.
Where are evidence and decisions?
Cells hold dates and colours while documents, reviewer decisions and explanations remain elsewhere.
Who owns the next action?
A spreadsheet can expose a gap without directing it to the person who can resolve it.
What changes with SkillProof.
Spreadsheets, folders and inboxes
- Several copies appear to be the current tracker.
- Dates and colours are separated from evidence and review decisions.
- Permissions depend on sharing the whole file.
- A visible gap still requires manual follow-up outside the spreadsheet.
With SkillProof
- Connect people, roles, requirements, dates and evidence in one maintained workspace.
- Preserve internal review states and permission-scoped access rather than sharing full files.
- Turn due, overdue and missing work into visible actions while retaining export options.
How it works
Move the workflow, not only the rows
Every step works from the records SkillProof already holds, so nothing is copied into another tracker.
Book a demo- Structure people and requirementsImport or create maintained staff records, roles and the requirement definitions behind the tracker.
- Reconnect dates, proof and decisionsKeep records, evidence and internal review status together rather than preserving disconnected columns.
- Work from actions and controlled exportsGive permitted users current follow-up while retaining reports and spreadsheet exports for appropriate review.

What this workflow covers
Replacing a spreadsheet is worthwhile when the problem is no longer calculation but ownership, evidence, permissions, history and follow-up. SkillProof provides connected workforce records, operational views and exports for training, compliance and development. It is not intended to replace finance, payroll or unrelated operational spreadsheets.
