Richard, a programmer in a company’s data analytics department, had spent years developing around ten R and Python programs that generated critical business reports.
These reports were regularly used by his colleagues — Cindy, Joyce, Jean, and Thea.
However, while the programs were powerful, they weren’t easy to use.
The team members, though highly skilled in business analysis, were not familiar with command-line tools.
Each time a report needed to be generated, they had to ask Richard to run the scripts, adjust parameters, and export the results manually.
Over time, these repetitive tasks consumed much of Richard’s day and slowed down the team’s workflow.
To solve this problem, Richard decided to build a smarter solution.
Using the BatchSubmit platform, he created an internal cloud system where all the R and Python programs were deployed with simple web interfaces.
Now, instead of dealing with code or terminals, users could run the programs directly from their browsers—just by filling in parameters and clicking “Run.”
Even better, BatchSubmit supported cron job scheduling, allowing automated and recurring report generation.
After deployment:
Cindy started receiving her daily sales reports automatically;
Joyce no longer worried about program errors;
Jean and Thea could easily trigger and download reports on their own;
And Richard finally had more time for meaningful work—optimizing algorithms and building new tools.
BatchSubmit not only improved efficiency but also transformed complex code into an accessible, user-friendly service for everyone.
BatchSubmit — making the power of code available to all.
