Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Quickbase in various ways to support tracking and reporting of information. Many processes that were manual or tracked in spreadsheets have been converted to Quickbase applications. The business areas include administrative, clinical, research, Human Resources, information services, interpreter services, nursing, facilities, project management, time reporting, communications, and more. The scope is different for each app. One of our primary applications is to track projects - active and pipeline - as well as other work for an overall IT portfolio. I use it to review status, track progress, and report overall statistics to leadership.

  • Low code
  • Reporting

  • More administration/ support functionality

Quickbase is integral to our company’s operations. It has been the foundation on which we've built all of our systems in the last 3 years. Overtime it has become our ERP. Every department's (Accounting, Sales, Recruiting, Marketing, IT and Operations) workflows are overlayed across the entire system (via Quickbase) creating not only a database of information but a unified system of operations that are dependent on the flexibility that Quickbase has to handle an ever changing landscape of variables.

  • API Automations both internal API Calls and external to other systems via their Pipelines tool.
  • Flexibility in utilization of URL or HTML within formual fields and code pages.
  • Providing excellent support to their customers. Many team members at Quickbase have gone above and beyond to support us along the 3 year journey we've been on thus far.
