Quickbase Review
Overall Satisfaction with Quickbase
We primarily use, or at least the part that I'm involved in, it as a sales portal. So all of our sales that we used to track through Excel spreadsheets, that we had to send around, are all loaded in. We also have links and resources and things like that. They can place orders, and we track shipments once those orders are placed. We reconcile, and we've got an RMA module built out. We've got a whole bunch of things and all geared towards a sale, like a third-party Salesforce.
Pros
- It makes it easy to, I guess like a lot of things that used to be like really cumbersome and tedious to put together in Excel, it just does it for you automatically. You can set notifications and subscriptions and things like that, and build out a bunch of customer reports that'll automatically send things out to my users and just send them the information - that way I don't have to go cut up a report a bunch of times. It just makes all that kind of stuff easy and automatic.
Cons
- So right now we're gonna have to restructure and figure out some archiving solutions. I guess because we're running out of capacity. We've got about, I don't know, 800,000 entries in one of our tables, like our main table that we use for sales reporting and which represents about 14 months of sales. But we'll probably double that in the next six months easily. Because of the rate of our growth, my long-term concerns are making sure we can house enough data and present it to people quickly enough you know, where it's not loading. That's my main thing.
- There's a learning curve. I've got a bunch of people on my team who have not been building this thing for the last year, and I can't just assign stuff over to them, but I guess that's job security.
- Tons of time savings
- It helps us spot problems before they just snowball out of control. We wouldn't find out about it until somebody's lost a ton of money and so this just helps us get out in front of that.
