We began using Airtable as a simple, easy-to-implement solution for tracking images in our products. Since then, we have expanded our use of Airtable to handle all our CRM needs, as well as our marketing lists and social media management. We are also considering using Airtable for some of our content development workflow needs. Airtable is, by far, the best blend of power, flexibility, ease-of-use, and cost for online databases. Non-specialists are able to begin using the product quickly and effectively. This is a great product for a fantastic price. I highly recommend it.

Airtable has helped us maintain a database of educators' contact information, schools, and training received. It is far superior to a large Excel spreadsheet: the rows are treated as records and information cannot be easily shifted down a row accidentally, and the permission controls allow there to be multiple viewers but only limited numbers of people who can change or update the very detailed information.

We needed an application to coordinate the many projects being deployed, as well as those in planning. Our staff work in many different locations, so the mobile app is key. Some use Macs, others PC. We had to select a cross-platform product. We are visual people, a mix of creatives and producers, making the flexible views key to maintaining product use. Having the attachments within the table should make us more efficient if we are working in the office, at a satellite location, while traveling, or at home.

I have managed too many projects with post-its and flip charts. This incorporates the way we think, visualize and track projects. It is as if they came into the office, looked over my shoulder and adopted our methodology. Finally!

I work at Warsaw Medical University. For managing our research data we were using FileMaker (FM) so far, but as our department evolved we were looking for a new alternative that is cloud-based and sharing friendly. We did try many products available online. So far we are very happy with Airtable and it is our top pick. It works really great. It is very responsive and you can make custom views as in ZOHO or FM. The support team is very helpful and helped us to migrate with no hustle. I highly recommend this product and looking really forward for the next new features that will be available soon.

My department supports approx 1,000 employees in the Learning and Development realm. We have dozens of stakeholders, and various levels of projects that come our way. Previously, members of the same team felt they had "no idea" what each other was working on. Also stakeholders from one department had no idea what other stakeholders of their department had already requested.

I use AirTable in a number of ways:

* Pipeline tracking (what projects are coming and in what month)
* Staff assignment tracking (how many projects is someone involved in)
* % complete tracking. One of our big projects requires various people to complete certain items by certain dates. Having a dashboard that shows our percentage to completion is very helpful.

Airtable has finally provided our department a way to report out on the work that we do accurately. I pair it with Rescue Time to calculate the actual time spent in each project, but AirTable gives me the all up.

We plan to have all of our employees use Airtable which includes 1 Director, 2 Assistant Directors, 4 Administrative Assistants, 1 Office Facilitator, 1 IT Assistant, 3 Site Managers, 1 Occupational Nurse, and 8 Instructors. We are a non-profit training school for Construction Craft Laborers so Airtable allows us to keep track of our classes, our schedules, our documentation, and our staff and student information in one place, and it also updates in real time for all of us to see. We rely heavily on the Calendar and Grid views to see and keep track of our data. This platform has allowed us to work digitally rather than in paper files which saves us tons of time and money while incorporating an easier way to communicate and collaborate as an organization.

We use Airtable for the iEXCEL program at UNMC. The Sorrell Clinical Simulation Lab has many moving parts that can be difficult to keep track of. It allows us to keep a schedule, and track usage. The web-based software also helps us organize our Standardized Patient Employees, the equipment we use, and the reoccurring events held in the lab. This database allows me to search quickly for the information I need, and now create blocks for even more needs such as creating sign-in sheets of invoices.

As a small non-profit with a variety of programs and projects, we needed a database and CRM that could be tailored to different activities. We tried a few CRMs, but they were all too focused on a private sector sales model for our needs. After trying Airtable, we found it was customizable enough, without being complicated, to tailor to our specific data and tracking needs. We've only been using it for a few weeks, but it seems as though it is filling the void that we were missing for tracking contacts, properties, and projects we're working on and linking those various lists.

We are currently using AirTable as a way to manage our project needs. As a platform for the communications team, AirTable lets us document all our tasks while simultaneously managing our timeline for the entire year. The different views have been indispensable for our organization's needs. We also use AirTable as a way to document requests.

As farmer advisor, we need to keep update info on each crop plot we are managing. On the field, we are able to add disease observation, crop potential, treatments applied, or any relevant information. One of the most useful features for us is the ability to add a picture to the record so that we can keep track of the crop development. As well as come back a year later to remember the history of the plot.

Also, it is of prime importance for us to share the record with the team to make the best decision.

We use Airtable in a number of ways at two organizations with which I'm associated. At AdPoint Video we use it in three ways:
  1. We built a bespoke highly-customized CMS (Content Management System) for our ad campaigns.
  2. We built a lightweight CRM (Client Relationship Management) system that fits our needs at a fraction of the cost of the big name CRMs.
  3. We use Airtable to manage internal client projects -- similar to a Project Management platform but much more useable for our team.
At the Marist Poll:
  1. We've built out a full-on Project Management System for our polls.
  2. Several new projects in development are being based on custom dashboards built with Airtable.
  3. I personally use it to manage my various projects as Director of Innovation.
The great benefit of using Airtable is that it is based on something everyone in both organizations knows -- a spreadsheet. That allows us to let various team members build their own implementations which makes for better customization and quicker adoption. We can prototype ideas fast without having to test out the myriad of narrow SaaS solutions out there. Plus Airtable integrates well with Slack and Box.

We use Airtable to help coordinate all of our content marketing efforts from concept to launch. I'm able to easily connect users and build custom templates for other content suppliers to import information that feeds directly into an entry in airtable. The ability to customize views by user is ideal and helps to provide a 'best use' scenario for the entire team.

Airtable is being used by the office of communications as both a planning platform (for content calendars for social media) as well as a database that 1) houses contact information and 2) archives past usage of archival materials. Airtable is incredibly user-friendly. Its shared workspaces have been a productive way for our team to cross-pollinate content and ideas for our respective responsibilities.

Airtable has been instrumental to growing the organization which is in its early stages of developing a CRM system. It was time for this organization to take its data management, collection, and linkage to the next level and Airtable's capabilities and user-friendly interface allowed it to do so with minimal adoption barriers. In addition, the many view function of each table allows for the organization to publicize data in different ways without compromising its members' privacy.

I am the only person who uses Airtable at my school. I plan on using Airtable with my co-teacher in the next year and with any student teachers I have in the future. Airtable helps me effectively track and analyze student data to meet the individual needs of students. I am a new Airtable user, but I am pleased with the program and interface so far. I am a teacher and need to track student data such as state testing scores, current reading level, special education status, and more. In the past, I have used Excel to keep track of the data. Excel is a solid database program, but it does not have the features that Airbase does. Airtable’s grid view is familiar. I can import data from other spreadsheets and copy and paste information like I am used to.

We implemented Airtable within our strategy department for a large landscaping effort to build and maintain a database of completed and/or ongoing projects in our field from across the United States. Data collection is split across our internal team, an external team, and a crowd-sourcing mechanism for greater stakeholder engagement. It was imperative that the tool we chose be simple to use, quick to launch, and have varying levels of access for the different users.

We are a theatre production company that is evaluating locations and projects for a future performance space. There are grants and RFP's to manage, community to build, fundraising to do, among many other things. It will be used by members of the project team from within and outside the immediate company - as I expect ultimately our contractors and vendors will be added too, at least, in order to view project status.

As a nonprofit communications professional, there is a lot to manage – budgets/invoices/expenses, inter-departmental requests, news/PR, creative production, contacts lists, and more. Airtable does it all. I've tried just about every task manager out there, and none of them compare to Airtable.

Some of our current uses:

  • Fundraising gala sponsor pledge forms and sponsor benefits: when someone pledges at a certain level, I set up Airtable to automatically populate all of the benefits they receive, so I know exactly which sponsors get what and if I have fulfilled those promises.
  • Communications + Marketing inventory: I created barcodes for all of the equipment I've purchased, and I can scan in those barcodes directly to Airtable and link them to their invoices.
  • Budgets + Expenses: I have an Airtable set up for tracking all of my department's expenses, with detailed descriptions of the purchases, and their respective invoices attached so that should someone else need to access them quickly, they are easy to find and access.
  • Story collection: I have a base set up specifically for gathering stories about my organization.
  • Marketing requests: I have a base set up specifically for collecting marketing requests, and it is integrated with Asana through Zapier for my own task management.
Verdict: Airtable is the best online platform that has ever happened to me, and it has totally changed my life and my workflow for the better.

Airtable is being used by the international office of our university to help manage our institutional relationships with partner universities overseas. Given the volume of data our team is responsible for capturing, the ability to associate and interrogate the data using database features while interacting with a familiar spreadsheet view has been especially important for onboarding our team to Airtable.

Our organization is using Airtable as a CRM to help us consolidate and streamline our customer/partner information. We are a small nonprofit that hosts a large annual arts festival and year-round workshop programming. Currently, we are using loads of spreadsheets to track our programming. Many of our employees are seasonal contractors, so there is very little continuity in data tracking. Airtable is helping us to consolidate and standardize our data, creating a framework that will assist us in better understanding our organization's history and relationship with our many partners and funders.
