Do you want to build a snowman... er.. database?

We use Kintone as our database to record and track all of our current and developing partnerships with various organizations, as well as the end-users (our students) who are affiliated with these organizations and also operating independently. We have built over 15 different apps within Kintone to manage different aspects including Organizations, Persons, Communication, Training Events, and Curriculum Requests. But we have also created Kintone apps that help us run more effective reports to pull all of this information together into a comprehensive picture through the use of the Lookup function in Kintone, allowing one app to reference a record in another app. An example of this would be our Countries app, which has a record for every country in the world that contains its Region and Language(s). This allows us to generate reports in the Organizations app that is broken down by Country, Region, or Language. To give a sense of scale, our largest app, which tracks every communication between our staff and end-users, has almost 20k records, all of which reference multiple other records in other apps (such as the person who sent it and the person who received it). Lastly, the ability to update and modify the apps and reports in real-time is invaluable.
