The problem it solves

Some of your systems store dates as long strings of numbers instead of a date you can read. When you are pulling data together for a report or comparing records across tools, those raw numbers just get in the way.

Who it fits

An operations or data team pulling dates from systems that store them as raw timestamps.

How it works

  1. Receives a raw timestamp from another system or tool
  2. Converts it into a standard, readable date format
  3. Sends the readable date straight back
What you get

Timestamps turned into dates you can read

You receive dates in a clear, readable format the moment they are needed, ready to drop straight into any report you are building.

What you get

A clean, standard date value ready to use in a report, spreadsheet or database.

What you need

No extra accounts needed beyond the system sending in the timestamp.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
