I sat through a meeting where they introduced some new software to make our jobs more efficient. About half way through the meeting when I finally understood what the software actually does I told them I had already written some software to automate this several months ago. I was totally ignored because I'm not supposed to be a dev where I work, I'm an integration specialist (glorified data entry). Anyway the tool allows us to search through our overly complicated Windows file system based file storage for our customers (could easily be made into a database). The software just helps us find one of the two files we need
Their version allows you to find a file using a limited GUI and all you have to know is the exact path to the folder it's stored in, the date of the file, and the exact contents of the file. You also must provide the exact path by using a drop-down menu with 400+ options and each of those goes about 5 drop-down menus deep. Then it returns the full path including file name so you can paste it in a file explorer to retrieve the actual file. After that you need to go search through the file system to find the second file you need manually.
My version requires you to know the end folder (we have a search engine for find the end folder), the date, and the order number. The date and order number are easy to find because we have all that information available in one place, the same place you go to find the date and file contents for their system. My version also finds the second file we need.
I will admit theirs is faster, but mine involves less memorization, and does all my searching for me.
The file path generally looks like X:foobarfoobarbarfoofoofoofile.file
They want everyone to use the new system. The old system was to manually find both files. They won't even look at my program.
