Cleaner user experience, enhanced AI and mobile
capabilities, and out-of-the-box governance controls help everyone
deliver impact, today
Quickbase, the software application platform for dynamic work
management, today announced a host of new capabilities designed to
make it easier and faster to get work done the way you need to, for
your business and employees. Drawing on 20+ years' experience in
helping customers of all sizes in all industries build solutions
that solve problems and deliver meaningful impacts using
easy-to-use, uncomplicated, and powerful capabilities.
In the new dynamic way of working, organizations must stay
nimble, adaptable, and responsive to the non-structured,
multi-stakeholder, and highly collaborative way we all work today.
This is especially true for operationally driven, complex
industries like construction, manufacturing, and others that
operate in a world where physical work and digital solutions must
coexist to drive projects. These industries have been underserved
by technology for decades or have been slower to adopt new tech
solutions.
Using AI, an improved user experience, easier access to mobile
forms to capture data and information, and enhanced governance
controls, Quickbase is delivering on its vision to connect data,
workflows, teams, and projects together to get custom solutions up
and running with minimal clicks for the way people and
organizations need and want to work, at the speed and scale of
their projects, customers, and competition.
“Most technology solutions are rooted in old ways of working
that don’t fit today’s world of dynamic work,” said Ed Jennings,
CEO of Quickbase. “Work has changed, and with it the expectations
for the tools and technology used to get work done. Speed, scale
and customization are priorities, with a depth of vertical
specialization and ability to connect to your core systems, all at
significantly lower levels of investment. This is the foundation of
our platform, focused on easy to use, expert-built solutions with
just a few clicks, fully customized to the way you want to
work.”
Highlights of these new capabilities include:
- AI Integration for Faster Building of Solutions, Reports &
Integrations - Since the addition of AI-powered capabilities to the
Quickbase platform in October 2023, more than 4,500 unique business
apps have been built by 2,800 beta users for a variety of use
cases, from project management to logistics and invoice management,
even solar panel installations. Now, with AI fully-integrated into
its platform, users can build fully functional solutions, reports,
workflows, and integration in just a few clicks, simply by telling
Quickbase’s AI Smart Builder what problem they are trying to solve
– no technical expertise required. “I was impressed that AI Smart
Builder was able to throw together the solution so quickly,” said
Chandler Buck, Programmer Analyst II for the County of Pitt (North
Carolina). “All of the tables were accurate, and the names of the
tables and the columns were exactly like I specified. And then it
threw together the default dashboard, and I did not really have to
do a lot of the manual setup on my end. And then I was able to set
up the users and have that application out for testing within a day
or two max.”
- A Whole New Quickbase User Experience - a fresher and faster
way to get work done, from creating to managing to iterating and
sharing solutions, reducing the amount of clicking and scrolling
Gray Work that could slow them down. Users now have a cleaner
global menu and redesigned dashboards, putting every action at
their fingertips, with enhanced collaboration and communication
controls to share and track information; a powerful library of
solution-specific applications and formulas, components, and
integrations; and quick actions to surface actionable intelligence
across the platform.
- Unified Mobile Experience – Since the acquisition of FastField
in June 2023, Quickbase has continued to add new capabilities and
streamline the creation of forms and capturing of information on
job sites, shop floors and other environments where that data is
critical to enhancing productivity, compliance, and safety. Now, by
adding in-app form building and faster access to FastField in the
Quickbase global menu, new and existing users alike can take
advantage of FastField to easily build new forms using existing
tables and workflows; manage their account and workflows; and
access and share critical information throughout their teams and
organizations.
- Governance that Supports Customization, Speed and Scale –
Quickbase enables organizations to enhance their approach to
governance by delivering the speed and flexibility of a typical
point solution with platform-level controls with the assurance that
solutions stay aligned with business needs and IT policies related
to compliance, privacy, and control. This new set of solution
application programming interfaces (APIs) supports the continuous
improvement and deployment of business-critical solution, giving IT
and business leaders confidence that existing application lifecycle
management (ALM) requirements are in place across the entire
lifecycle of their apps.
“Our customers have told us again and again that the most
important thing any solution should do for them is to help them get
work done, faster,” said Debbi Roberts, senior vice president,
Product at Quickbase. “We’ve taken that to heart, building our
platform with a vision that everyone should be able to do their
work in the way that fits them best, creating workflows that
reflect exactly how they want to get work done. Our new
capabilities realize that promise of powerful, easy to use,
intuitive, and customizable solutions to enable everyone to make a
quick and lasting impact to their business.”
