Right now the options for these small business owners are either to a) spend a lot of time learning and sifting through data on their own, or b) hiring someone on a pricy monthly retainer to handle it for them. CluePad would be a low-cost, low-time-investment alternative to both of these.</p><p style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 3px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">We’re using Catalyst/Template Toolkit and DBIx Class for the site.
