Steegle.One Intranet for Google Workspace
Why Rent Software When You Can Build It With AppSheet?
Every year, organisations renew licences for Salesforce, Airtable, Monday.com, Zendesk, and platforms like them. They pay enterprise rates for software that covers 70% of what they actually need. They work around rigid workflows. They live with data trapped in third party silos. They accept that any customisation costs as much as the platform itself.
Steegle's AppSheet Migration Service replaces expensive, inflexible SaaS platforms with purpose built applications running on Google AppSheet. These are fully integrated into the Google Workspace environment your organisation already pays for.
We do not simply move data from one platform to another. We reengineer the underlying workflow. We eliminate the manual processes that accumulated around the old system. We build something that fits the business as it actually operates.
Migrate to Google and Replace Costly SaaS in One Managed Move
If your organisation is migrating from Microsoft to Google, or consolidating your software stack, this is the ideal moment to replace expensive third‑party SaaS tools at the same time. One transition. One managed process. One unified Google environment at the end of it.
See how Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas achieved this during their Microsoft to Google migration. They modernized their record management system with Google AppSheet. This was part of a broader Google Workspace transformation.

Transforming Patient Data Management with AppSheet
Based in the USA and operating in the healthcare industry, Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas needed a field service automation solution to support their Google Workspace migration. Their goals included modernizing record management, efficiently handling nearly 700,000 patients and more than 2.8 million records, and ensuring compliance with retention and audit policies across multiple hospital sites.
Working with Steegle, they implemented a custom AppSheet solution that enabled real‑time patient data management as part of their broader transformation.
Most organisations do not calculate the true cost of their SaaS stack until they examine it carefully. When they do, the picture is usually worse than expected.
Bridging platforms, building smarter workflows
Unifying Systems with AppSheet and Google Workspace
For many organisations, the trigger for an AppSheet migration is not frustration alone. It is opportunity. When an organisation is already undergoing a migration from Microsoft to Google Workspace, there is a natural and practical window to consolidate the SaaS stack at the same time.
The logic is straightforward. You are already managing a platform transition. Your IT team is already focused on the move. Your organisation is already adapting to new ways of working. Adding AppSheet builds to that scope, replacing Salesforce, Airtable, Zendesk, or legacy on‑premises systems, does not double the disruption. It completes the picture.
The Trigger Organisations Recognise
We are already moving to Google. While doing this, can we also replace Salesforce, Airtable, Monday.com, or our legacy system and bring everything into Google at the same time? This is one of the most common conversations we have. The answer is yes.
Your data, accessible anytime, anywhere
The future of work, powered by AppSheet
AppSheet is an enterprise‑grade application development platform built by Google and running within Google Cloud. It enables organisations to create sophisticated, role‑based applications without the overhead of traditional software development.
For organisations already using Google Workspace, the economics are straightforward. AppSheet is included in most Workspace licences at no additional cost.
Applications connect natively to Google Drive, Gmail, and Sheets, while benefiting from Google’s security and compliance posture.
Salesforce, Airtable, Monday.com, and others all charge per‑user fees. For organisations on Google Workspace Business or Enterprise plans, AppSheet Core is included.
We frequently save clients tens of thousands in annual platform spend, and in some cases significantly more, depending on the incumbent platform and number of users.
Unlike Salesforce, Airtable, or Monday.com, AppSheet applications connect natively to your existing Google infrastructure. New records in your AppSheet CRM automatically generate client folders in Google Drive.
Contracts are produced as PDFs without manual intervention. Email correspondence is logged and searchable against the relevant record. Built in, not bolted on.
You own the platform and the data. Every element is built to match your exact business requirements.
When those requirements change, the system is updated through configuration, not through a professional services engagement with a vendor whose roadmap may not align with your timeline.
All data resides within Google Cloud, under your control. No export dependency.
No risk from a vendor pricing restructure. No exposure to platform discontinuation.
The "SaaS Tax" is one of the largest hidden drains on modern IT budgets. When your organization scales, legacy per-user licensing fees grow exponentially. By migrating to AppSheet, you decouple your growth from your software costs.
Note: *AppSheet Core is included at no additional cost for Google Workspace Business Starter, Standard, Plus, and all Enterprise editions.
Do more, spend less with AppSheet
Our migration service doesn't just "move" data; it replaces a suite of high-cost modules with native Google functionality. The Salesforce Enterprise price ($175) we used for this calculation includes:
Sales Cloud (Agentforce Sales): Opportunity management, lead routing, and advanced forecasting.
Service Cloud: Case management and basic ticketing.
Lightning App Builder: The ability to build custom objects and workflows (which AppSheet does more flexibly).
Advanced Reporting: Role-based dashboards and analytics.
Enterprise API Access: Necessary for syncing data with other tools—a cost eliminated by AppSheet’s native integration.
Beyond the license fees, a Steegle migration eliminates:
The "Admin" Tax: Salesforce Enterprise typically requires a dedicated (and expensive) certified admin. AppSheet is managed within your existing Google Admin console.
Integration Tooling: You no longer need paid "middle-man" connectors like Zapier or Workato to move data between your CRM and your Google Drive.
Storage Overages: Salesforce charges heavily for data and file storage. With AppSheet, your data lives in your existing Google Cloud/Drive storage.
The heavy burden of SaaS costs
Replace Salesforce, HubSpot, Airtable, Monday.com
Build a custom CRM in AppSheet that fits your pipeline.
Track deals, link Gmail conversations, generate documents automatically, and get clear reporting, all without the cost and complexity of oversized enterprise platforms.
Replace Zendesk, Freshdesk, Zoho Desk, HappyFox
Create a ticketing system inside Google Workspace.
Requests arrive by email, routed to the right person or team, and tracked in real time. No extra licences are required.
Replace Microsoft On‑Premises Applications
When migrating from Microsoft to Google, AppSheet provides a new home for legacy apps.
Faster and cheaper than a traditional rebuild. Example: Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas replaced a decades‑old records system managing 2.8 million files are deployed within weeks.
Replace Paper Forms, DeviceMagic, Legacy Field Apps
AppSheet replaces email‑and‑paper workflows with mobile‑first apps.
Technicians scan barcodes, take photos, capture location data, and log jobs offline. Everything syncs back automatically once connectivity is restored.
Replace Excel Macros, Google Sheets Workarounds, Access Databases
Critical processes often outgrow spreadsheets.
AppSheet turns them into proper applications with structure, audit trails, and access control, while keeping your data intact.
“We knew we had a scaling problem, and we knew a generic platform would only shift the compromise elsewhere. What Steegle built is purpose‑made: it understands how automotive calibration actually flows, from the VIN scan in the field to the invoice being sent out. The operational impact has been significant.”

Migrating a live operational system requires discipline. Our process ensures data integrity, minimal disruption, and a system that is genuinely ready before the old one is retired.
Yes, and this is one of the most effective approaches. A Workspace migration already creates a change-management moment. Adding AppSheet builds to the scope means your teams arrive in the new Google environment with their operational tools already built and integrated, rather than having to tackle SaaS replacement as a separate project later. We have done this successfully with healthcare networks, school districts, and professional services organisations.
A well‑executed migration should cause minimal disruption. Our parallel testing phase ensures the new system is fully operational and validated before you move off the old one. Most transitions involve a clean cutover date rather than an extended period of dual running.
Data integrity is the central commitment of our methodology. We extract, validate, and test your data before any cutover. Any data quality issues in the source system are surfaced and addressed during extraction, not migrated into the new environment.
Not necessarily, and we will tell you if we think it is not. AppSheet is well suited to operational applications such as data capture, workflow management, field operations, CRM, ticketing, and process automation. For applications with very high transaction volumes or deep vertical‑specific compliance needs, we will recommend alternatives where appropriate.
A straightforward migration from a spreadsheet‑based system typically takes two to four weeks. A more complex migration from a multi-module SaaS platform with significant automation logic may take six to ten weeks. We scope this clearly before any engagement begins.
A field service app that modernizes record management, handles millions of patient records, and ensures compliance.
A safe parent portal app that streamlines communication, delivers instant updates, and supports safe file sharing.
A school portal app that tracks attendance, manages grades in real time, and gives parents clear oversight.
