Quickbase was built to help you coordinate, scale, and integrate your processes across multiple sources of data — and that starts with building a reliable database. With no coding knowledge or IT assistance needed, you can easily and efficiently build a database from scratch with forms, fields, and tables based on your specific business needs.
When your data is organized, your team can make smarter decisions faster. Complex projects become simple to manage with up-to-date dashboards and reporting.
Streamline your data into one unified platform and overcome the data chaos of disparate sources. Collaborate with your team whether they’re in the office or in the field with confidence that your data is up-to-date and secure.
With a reliable, up-to-date database, you’ll stay in control at every stage of app development — including database updating and workflow management — so you know your project is completed just the way it needs to be.
Yes! There are two ways to create an application from scratch:
Spreadsheet style — This method mimics a spreadsheet. When you create a new column in spreadsheet mode, it becomes a field in your app.
Database style — In this method, you’ll use the Visual Builder. Here, you’ll give the application a name, create the tables and form relationships among them, and then you can build the fields that will comprise your app. This is the recommended approach, since it will help you visualize how you want to process your data, and will help you see relationships and integrations outside the confines of a spreadsheet.
Build a database from your existing data. You have a few options for importing:
Instantly bring in data from CSV files generated by a wide range of systems and keep data automatically updated. Pull CSV files from any application both on-premise and in the cloud. Sync app data and bring the information you need into Quickbase seamlessly. With just a few clicks, you can create a custom solution for your business.
Easily connect Quickbase with popular cloud apps: Salesforce, NetSuite, Zendesk, QuickBooks Online, Intacct, Bill.com, and Zuora. Once added to Quickbase, the data gets updated automatically. You don't have to learn about the structure of the source app or develop complicated code to get your data. Sync software with Quickbase using our pre-built collections of common data sets.
Turn Excel spreadsheets into a Quickbase application. Import an Excel file or copy and paste the data that you want from your spreadsheet. Simply click and drag to select cells within the spreadsheet.
Yes. The Quickbase App Exchange is a great way to make use of other builders' expertise, and it's a much faster way to get a fully functional database compared to starting from scratch. All apps are customizable, so you can make changes to suit your specific workflow needs and business processes.
