Overall Satisfaction with Quickbase
We use it basically through our whole process. Sales team uses it as a crm. We use it for project management. And our financial team uses it for forecasting and financial information.
- I like having all the information where I know it's going to be my role as project coordinator. I'm constantly pulling up projects, shipping, logistics, sending drawings back and forth.
- I like having the information, keeping that record of documentation where it has a little clock, that's a really good feature that we like to use quite a bit. And having it there for historical purposes, because I know we go back to do repairs and maintenance and stuff like that.
- Having all of our projects chronologically, and all the information in one place is very helpful.
- I would say I sometimes have hard time with just figuring out the best way to do things. I don't have a developer background, so I got thrown into this kind of randomly. So especially, when I first started it, we built it from the ground up. And so now having three years experience okay, figuring out, do I need to rebuild this whole thing? Do I need to figure out how to chunk those pieces off and do a revamp without tearing the entire thing down. I would say that's like kind of what I'm trying to figure out right now.

Yeah, so we've been getting a lot of bigger projects multi-year construction projects that are ever-changing as far as scheduling goes. And so it's been really helpful from a project management standpoint to have the tasks, have everybody keep on track of where we are, last contact, all that kind of stuff. So I think keeping track of those multi-tiered ways and then along with that, the financials and where they're gonna hit us in the year has been our newer aspect that we're working on.

- Improving collaboration across one or more teams
- Building and deploying an application (or multiple applications) that meets our exact needs
I didn't have a background in development at all. With something, it's like I'm a, I have to do it to learn, so sometimes it just takes me a while. I'm the only one who does any building or anything. But, so yeah, that, I have had challenges with that just cuz I feel like, I know there's a lot more I could probably figure out how to do, but I'm like, I don't know if I can sit down for hours and figure this out on without help. So yes, to me, I do find it help exists for either watching the YouTube videos or the community thing. Reaching out to somebody who might know what to do, that kind of thing.
We've done that in our app many times. I just, either if it's something that I need to do a sandbox or I'll do that, or if it's a little quick change for something simple. Just doing it real quick works for us.
