Overall Satisfaction with Quickbase
We have taken Quickbase and used it to automate the process of entering time for all of our field personnel, instead of admins collecting and entering dozens of spreadsheets into one master upload, we now have field personnel enter their time directly and one quick export gives us payroll for the week. We have integrated an approval process, have integrated checks and balances to help eliminate human error on both sides and continue to expand our application into new areas where the workflow processes have been stagnant, such as safety reports, tracking training opportunities, and even working on equipment management. Quickbase has been able to grow with our needs in a very scalable and agile manner to minimize the painpoints. If your needs grow beyond your time and expertise there are countless expert consultants that can continue to grow your application for you.
- Quick learning curve in the beginning
- Product support is very responsive
- There is a very large and active user community forum
- Forms are one of the first places we began to out grow the out of box options
- The advanced elements of Pipeline configuration have little documentation
- There is no way to export or summarize a lot of the configuration information for your application. Things like form rules, field names, etc have to be looked up, there is no place to easily see or even better search those rules so you know where changes need to be made.
- Making our timesheets paperless has saved our admin staff an enormous amount of time.
- Being able to find and review timesheets historically is now actually possible
- We can tell where a piece of equipment was last used by searching Quickbase instead of calling foreman guessing where it might be.
- We can tell what equipment is being used versus equipment that is just sitting in the yard. It's a clear way to improve billings and reduce costs.
This started as a project implementation just for our operations department and its now expanding to fill communication gaps with Fleet, Safety, and Project Management teams as well.
Quickbase has been able to pivot and help implement new ideas that have come from working with the product, not just what we had in our minds but new ideas for things we didnt know we wanted and Quickbase was able to be flexible enough to let us implement those new features as we go.
We work with more customers than most of our other districts and we had to get Quickbase to accommodate the increased customer demands that we needed to allow for in our workflow.
