In a couple weeks, Quickbase will be off to Vegas. Not to see U2 at The Sphere, or to sit at a slot machine, but to join thousands of our fellow innovators at Autodesk University. With business leaders and innovators coming together to find new ways to drive change in their organizations, we’re excited to join the party.

We know that work isn’t linear and straightforward anymore – it’s dynamic and complex, especially in what Autodesk calls the “Design and Make” industries that drive our physical world. Building the future means a platform that brings everything together to bring about progress. Quickbase has the platform to help you manage and control your dynamic work, and to make life easier for the Makers and Doers around us.

Here’s what we’ll be showing off at Autodesk University – and what you can expect when you stop by Booth 242to see Quickbase.

Speed and productivity

AI is bound to be a hot topic at Autodesk University, just like it is in every industry at the moment. Finding ways to get more out of your people – especially the people closest to the challenges you need to solve – is going to drive the next era of success with Dynamic Work.

Quickbase Smart Builder will allow you to build faster and smarter with AI. You can leverage the power of generative AI to get your most complex, dynamic work completed in just minutes. Anybody can answer a few questions about their business problem to ultimately create tables, fields, reports, and dashboards. That way, even without knowing code, you can build new applications to solve your most complex challenges.

Centralized information

To get your most important work done effectively, you must have the right information at your fingertips. Too often, people spend time seeking information from numerous systems. Quickbase’s recent survey found that 54% of respondents spend more than 10 hours per week chasing information from different systems. Instead, that time should be spend designing and making.

Quickbase’s pipeline integration with Autodesk allows you to find the information you need, right away. More importantly, you can spend time on work that matters by connecting your data into one single source of truth. The Quickbase-Autodesk channel allows you to integrate data from projects, items, folders, and hubs to extend core systems, build new workflows across apps, and sync datasets. And with Quickbase Dashboards, all of the information you need will be in one place when you need it.

Improved connectivity – from anywhere

More work than ever is being done on the go. Future generations are thinking mobile-first, and they need to have the right capabilities available to them when working on mobile devices. That’s especially relevant when collaborating between the field and the back office. “If we don’t think mobile-first with our tools and with our processes, we’ll be behind the curve,” said Jeff Stay, CEO of FastField, a Quickbase company.

Enter FastField. With FastField, you can keep your field teams in sync with everyone across your company. You can gather actionable data from the field and immediately share it with the back office, reducing delays and improving communication. This goes both ways – gathering data from the field, sharing it with the back office, and then determining a course of action to push the action back to the field. With challenges like site inspections, work orders, and safety management, this becomes especially relevant – and for the doers and makers who will be at Autodesk University, working better on the go is incredibly valuable for success.

Autodesk University is bringing together thousands of doers and makers to find new, innovative ways to solve dynamic challenges. With our Dynamic Work Management platform, we’re excited to learn from some of the best leaders and forge a path forward for the Design and Make industries together.
