Overall Satisfaction with Quickbase
Well, Food for the Poor is an international nonprofit aid organization. We work in 17-plus countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. And we had a real need where we wanted software that would be able to handle projects that we were working on in the countries that we serve. The organization took a look at several options out there, but based on the flexibility of Quickbase, it became apparent that this would be the product to use because the environment kept changing, we kept changing - and we wanted a product that we could manage the change moving forward. So we ended up using Quickbase. Thank goodness. I quickly picked up the skills needed to develop. I took one of the app builder certifications, and I used the project manager app as a template to build out our product. The final product has developed way beyond the original, and it now encompasses a whole lot of departments in the organization and in the countries that we serve. Some of the challenges that we faced are having data coming in from the 17-plus countries into our database. In real-time, we're able to get over that hurdle where we now have users in these countries like Haiti, Jamaica, Guatemala, El Salvador, Peru, and Puerto Rico. Well, you know, and what we did was we enabled the users to come in, log into Quickbase and enter their data. So our project managers now here can have real-time access to information and move projects along. It's been a very interesting ride with the product.
- I would say flexibility is, that's my biggest thing in that there are times when I'll get a change request and as the change request is being described to me, I'm fixing it. That is actually what I like about the product. It's very flexible. Easy to use.
- I would say Quickbase is doing a lot of the right things. Bringing on pipe builders, you know, to enable Quickbase to get, take advantage of automation and plug into other systems has been very helpful. So when we speak of cons, I just want to say you guys are moving in the right direction. I would like to see a lot more dashboarding and business intelligence plugged into Quickbase and yes, that's what I would say about that.
- I wouldn't say it's had a negative impact in that, just about everything has been positive. When we are faced with problems, I'm able to use Quickbase to plug in or ingest data or send out information where it's needed. So it's been a win-win, you know, on all sides.
Absolutely, yes. I would say Food for the Poor has been able to achieve its objectives in terms of the app and the app development quicker, better, and faster. And this product is now in a central place in our universe of application software for the organization.
