Overall Satisfaction with Quick Base

Quick Base began in our company as a way to keep track of our phone calls. Now it is the central hub of our business, from creating, approving and tracking purchase orders to being the central system that holds our job tracking. From Estimate to Job completion, Quick Base has allowed us to be a more data-driven company while enhancing our internal company communication and efficiency.
  • Automatically Sends Reports
  • All in One, 100% Customized System
  • Company Analytics Found Quickly
  • Need more admin ability to change the look to fit our company and customer need, instead of having to hire an outside vendor.
  • Need ability for simple tasks to drag and drop, like some website builders.
  • Need the ability to see what fields are not being used, rolled up in a report, so I can easily delete what is not being used in order to save space and increase speed.
We are a comlany of 8 office staff members. I am supposed to be the Operations Manager, yet, I have had the time to create and manage our Quick Base Apps to increase our effeciency and effectiveness of our business. I’m still learning the coding side, but Quick Base makes it easy to learn.
There’s nothing like Quick Base for the price. Nothing out there out of the box is 100% customizable.
Our Estimator still has trouble navigating in a quick base. I’m not sure how difficult because I’m the only person to edit apps. I think it’s too hard for others in my company, but may be perception based on other areas of company struggle we have. They don't even try to figure out simple computer problems but rather come to me first.
  • Building and deploying business applications faster
  • Improving our ability to drive insights from our data
  • Solving a specific business challenge
  • Building and deploying an application (or multiple applications) that meets our exact needs
We’ve been able to deploy and achieve most of what we set out to do, but as we’ve grown, we keep seeing the need to improve those things we thought we needed.
This has been a struggle for us as we have lost information in fields that didn’t align with transitions.
I can see that Quick Base is highly Scalable, but I can only speak for what I have used it for. In a small business environment, Quick Base has given us the freedom to get a highly customizable program, historically only available to larger companies that could afford to hire a programming team or company to design a customized program.
