Is FET suitable for workflow with Salesforce/Excel?

[mamibe]

Hey,

my organization is using Salesforce to manage all data that is relevant for scheduling.
Instead of implementing an own solution within Salesforce, we are thinking about a workflow and are wondering whether this is technically feasible.

I am curious about your ideas, links to partial solutions and constraints, that you are predicting!

This is the workflow we are envisioning:

• Create and manage data in Salesforce
• Export to Excel
• Export to XML
• Open in FET
• Schedule in FET

As we have all important data within Salesforce for customer service, attendence, grading, etc, we are planning to exporting the needed data to xls:

• Teachers
• Subjects
• Space
• Time

I am grateful for any reference, best practice, hints for imports and other questions and remarks!
Plus, we might be interested in hiring FET specialists for implementing this for us. You can send me your details as well ;-)

Cheers!

Did you see that there is available a command-line version of FET?

I don't know if Excel intermediary would be useful.

I can help with advice on specific questions.
