With a number like that, it makes the value of the platform very clear. With Quickbase, you have: 1. Mobilization of Business Processes All your custom-built apps are automatically ready to be used on the go wherever you have internet access. Laptops, tablets, as well as smart phones, all have the same access. And with a cloud-based platform, you always have up-to-date information at your fingertips. 2. Increased Accuracy and Visibility of Data Manual data entry with traditional business spreadsheets are error prone, time-consuming, and inefficient. 90% of all spreadsheets contain at least one significant error, according to a study conducted by Market Watch. Quickbase can automate data to populate various softwares you need, saving you from costly errors and dramatically increasing your employee’s productivity. 3. Fewer Time-Consuming Maintenance Issues Normally, companies must deal with IT departments when they have issues with programs. When they are backlogged, this can potentially shut down a business. By having a third-party handling the application end, your internal IT department can handle the pertinent issues and keep the workflow processes running optimally. Another benefit is redundancy. You are not locked into one path into your information. Quickbase has the ability to keep you up and running should there be a technological issue, all without compromising their state-of-the-art compliance standards. 4. Gain A Competitive Advantage A company always wants to remain ahead of its competition. When you fall behind due to your software setup, you can easily find yourself in the stone age, technologically speaking. Software goes out of date. The benefit of having a partnership with Quickbase is that your company remains malleable to current trends in the business cycle. 5. Leverage Cost with of Quickbase Applications Quickbase has another beneficial feature. When you solely rely on Quickbase for all your application development needs, the more you add, the less expensive it becomes. 6. Reduce Costs When you have multiple vendors handling your business needs, then you have multiple licenses to purchase for your team to use those services. When you allow Quickbase to handle all your app development needs, then you already have the licenses, the only cost will be for the building of the next application. You also save money on training your employees on a new system, then relying on them to remember the differences between them all. 7. Improved Integrations One of the greatest benefits of the Quickbase platform is that is has a very robust API to help connect solutions together. SalesForce, Slack, QuickBooks, Dropbox, and MailChimp are just a drop in the bucket when it comes to integrations that work within the Quickbase platform.

The Pros and Cons of Citizen Developers

Posted on June 12, 2019 by smartboost

Many companies have made the powerful transition of converting paper-based processes to cloud-based technology. With many aspects of business now relying on technology, IT departments have their work cut out for them. Even a simple process change can be time-consuming, and this includes creating new business applications. Simultaneous requests can place a thin IT Department in danger of falling behind. In response, Citizen Developers have risen in popularity. What is a Citizen Developer? In the Information Technology (IT) world, a Citizen Developer is a non-IT trained individual who creates new business applications to help improve the productivity of their business. They have little to no formal education in coding, but take advantage of low/no code platforms, like Quickbase, to build apps that streamline business processes. Why Have Citizen Developers Become Popular? Typically, if a company needs a business software solution, they take their request to the IT Department. This department then will purchase an over the counter product or build an app to meet the business’ request. This can take several months, even years. To build an app, you often need to write code. After creating the app, you must spend adequate time testing the code and the working out of the kinks. By the time the IT Department completes the application, it may may even be outdated. Time is of the essence in the business world. To address this issue, some business leaders work in conjunction with IT and become Citizen Developers. Instead of writing out the entire code, they leverage low and no code platforms. They take what other developers have created in a low or no code platform and mold an application into what they want it to do. This process speeds up app development, allowing IT Departments to focus on more critical issues, and increased overall productivity. What Challenges Do Citizen Developers Face? Citizen development on the right platform might sound rather simple. However, it can be more complex than meets the eye. Here are the pros and cons that a Citizen Developer faces when seeking to accomplish a project on their own. The Pros and Cons of Citizen Development As with any business endeavor, there will be positive and negative aspects to building applications in-house. Pros of Citizen Developers: 1. Ease the Burden on the IT Department All IT Departments are overwhelmed with requests for assistance. They are constantly troubleshooting legacy applications and creating new solutions to help the business run smoothly. They have little time to create new applications when the old ones are still working, even if something new would help them in the long run. A Citizen Developer can take some of the burden off overstressed IT departments in developing low/no code apps. 2. Little Code Required Much of the foundational work is already complete with low and no code platforms. The basic outline of code is already written. A Citizen Developer does not have to learn long strings of code to create an application. They create applications where the developer is the user, usually using a visual drag and drop solution. 3. They Can Customize Their App Since there is little to no code to learn, you do not have to be a coding wizard to build an app that can help make business processes easier to complete. Since you are the creator, you can design it to include the benefits you need the most and tailor it to suit your specific needs. 4. Change Your App as Needed Due to the ability to customize, you are not locked into one method. If your company grows, you can build out your application’s capabilities and make changes as your growth warrants. 5. Increase Productivity Now that you have an application that functions in a manner that complements your business, your productivity will increase, thus increasing your customer base and sales. However, with the good, comes the bad. The pros listed are great, but there is still expertise required if you want a successful application solution. When you try and go it alone, the cons of Citizen Development can make your good intentions disastrous. Cons of Citizen Developers: Slower speed of Implementation While the low/no code process is intended to speed things up, when a Citizen Developer attempts to accomplish this task there is still a learning curve, especially during your first few application development attempts. Thus, it may take longer to reach a final product that is up to par. 2. Questionable Quality Without an expert to ensure your app is up to par, the novice may experience not only slow implementation, but the quality of the final product might also suffer. As with any new venture, there are many blind spots that only an expert will be aware of. Without this expertise guiding the development process, your app may turn out ineffective. 3. “Shadow IT” Another issue to consider is that if the app is being constructed is company approved. Does it meet the standards the company is trying to reflect, and will it be reliable in the long-term? Trying to create something outside of your IT department can cause many headaches if it is deemed unauthorized by your company. 4. Less Cross-industry Expertise What works for one industry will not necessarily work for another. An inexperienced developer may model their app off of one from another industry. This can backfire. Creating an app must be customized to how your business is run. 5. Weaker Security When you have a novice at the helm, they may either be ignorant to the fact that there needs to be a level of security to the apps created, or they may be willing to sacrifice security for functionality. This can cause legal issues, especially when you deal with sensitive client information and internal company info. 6. Sub-Par User Experience Just as inexperience can hurt you security-wise, the uneducated developer can leave unintended issues unaddressed. This can make the application burdensome to use for the ones it was designed to help. A Quickbase Solution […]

The Extensive Reach of Quickbase API Integration

Posted on June 6, 2019 by smartboost

The business world is filled with acronyms — ROI, CRM, PR, and ERP just to name a few. All of these play an important part in how your business succeeds. With the rise in technology, those terms take on new meaning. Business today is often conducted through cloud-based technology. And the new trend of the business cycle involves a new acronym; API. What is API? API stands for Application Programming Interface. To put it in the simplest of terms, API is the method different cloud-based programs, applications, and systems talk to each other. It is the computer language that enables programs like Zoom video conferencing to work together with your Google Calendar. Another example would be how your Facebook and Instagram accounts can be linked. When you post to your Instagram account, via an API it also posts to your Facebook at the same time. This is all possible due to APIs. What is API Integration? As in our Facebook/Instagram example, the two accounts are linked together through APIs. This process is called API Integration. Not only is API Integration beneficial to keep your social media statuses up to date, it is also applicable within business processes. What does API Integration Allow Business Professionals to Do? API allows business users to integrate Quickbase applications with other software solutions. There are over 150 applications that can integrate with Quickbase, relating to accounting, CRM, document storage, case management, project management, and much more! For example, many Quickbase users want an API integration with their accounting software. This integration allows companies to communicate data between the two systems. Then they can easily share data for Purchase Orders, invoices, bills, vendors, and customers. What Are the Benefits of an API Integration? When all of your programs can talk to each other, it will streamline business processes. This will increase productivity and therefore save your company money. Whether it is a web API or a local server that holds company documents, time is saved by having a centralized location for information storage and the ability to quickly access and make use of that information. Why Would You Need an API integration? A company needs API integration if they have multiple software applications that are segregated. You may have data in one system that another system requires. An API integration will allow this data to be utilized from all the relevant systems. The more APIs you have running, the more you need a centralized location to run these programs together – thus you need integration. Quickbase takes the external applications you are currently running and uses that information to inform your new custom Quickbase applications, tailored to how your business is run. Get Advanced Functionality with Quickbase API Integration By utilizing Quickbase API integration, you will improve: Productivity – Streamline business processes through user-friendly applications. Accessibility – The ability to easily access information when needed through cloud-based platforms. Real-Time Reporting – Everything is up to date. There is little to no lag time Agility – By having API integration in place, you can quickly and seamlessly adjust your business process as business trends change. Trinity and Quickbase API Integrations Trinity is a Quickbase Solution Provider. We embrace innovation through helping your company develop custom applications on the Quickbase platform and using API integration to connect to the existing programs your business is already using. Using the Quickbase API can resolve many of the productivity issues companies face today.

How Quickbase Healthcare Software Benefits Your Practice

Posted on April 26, 2019 by smartboost

One industry that stirs up debate in the U.S. is the healthcare industry. Everyone has an opinion. Even Presidential campaigns are built around what needs to be done within the healthcare market. With everyone’s hand in the pot, it makes health care confusing. Thus, all the complexities that surround reform and control lead to productivity issues for providers. And the continued lack of participation in healthcare software solutions has a profound effect on insurance companies, facilities, and medical staff. The Unique Perspective of the Healthcare Industry The healthcare industry faces many of the same productivity issues corporations deal with. However, certain intricacies are far more complicated than a cost/budget analysis. These areas include: Costs Staffing Communication Specialized Equipment Regulatory Compliance HIPAA Compliance Healthcare is ultimately about the end user; the patient. Each of these areas has an impact on quality of care. No other industry has more weighing on its performance. In the medical field, one bad experience can mean the difference between life and death – Insurance companies, healthcare facilities, and their staff must have nearly flawless execution. How the Healthcare Industry Is Impacted by Productivity Issues From revenue cycle management to regulatory compliance, a healthcare organization suffers when it lacks the technological advancement other industries are using to track productivity. Spending According to McKinsey and Company, the U.S. spends 18% of its GDP on health care. This spending is on the supply side – the who, what and how services are provided. While it is beneficial to view the cost increase in the quantity of services, careful consideration must be taken on the demand side – the quality of service to the patients receiving care. Only when deficiencies are identified can measures be taken to regain control over spending issues. Provider Communication The consumer treats health care like they treat car insurance; they policy hop in the hope of spending less. This can often mean switching medical providers. When there is a breakdown in communication between medical providers, this can be fatal to a patient with a serious medical condition. Medical errors account for 400,000 deaths and 10,000 complications per year. 80% of those were due to miscommunication between caregivers. There needs to be a way to maintain a patient’s record that is easier to transfer to other providers, rather than have multiple error-prone paper files. Data Governance As patients move from doctor to doctor due to a variety of reasons, there is danger of duplicating a patient’s medical file. According to a recent AHIMA survey, 57% of respondents regularly work on mitigating duplicate files regularly. Knowing if a patient is allergic to a medicine or has a metal implant can be a serious issue during some treatments. All medical facilities must have processes that ensure all electronic medical records are accurate to render proper treatment. Federal Regulations Productivity can be complicated by federal regulation. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) ensures the privacy of medical records. Unfortunately, compliance can contribute to inaccurate treatment of a patient due to the inability to share patient files openly with other providers. Therefore, it is imperative that data governance is in place while adhering to the stipulation of HIPAA. Giving for the quality, accessibility, accuracy, and expediency of Electronic Health Records (EHR), there must be a happy medium to the process. Skill Mix According to a Modern Healthcare editorial, the medical field has severe labor mismanagement. This is reflected in staffing; having four doctors to every nurse, when it should be the opposite. The editorial stated that the employment mix inside hospitals does not reflect the best use of resources. Doctor vs. Staffing Ratio is unbalanced, resulting in productivity issues and lack of efficient patient care. Using resources to the patient’s advantage means having the staffing needed to meet the needs of the hospital and services needed for proper patient care. That balance includes managing existing staff and bringing a new hire up to speed on medical practice functions as well as ensuring compliance with licensing and required training for their position. All these factors contribute to the frustration with the healthcare system. These three facts can help you overcome each obstacle: Having a fluid functioning office management solution can increase efficiencies that help provide better care to your patients. Having the right workflow solution can help your practice with staffing coordination, billing, patient information, and patient experience. Having a secure documentation software solution in place to protect access to every facet of your practice, including legal and regulatory compliance. And Quickbase is the solution that can give you the functionality your practice needs. What is Quickbase? Quickbase is an application development platform that gives you and your team access to current company information, through pre-built or custom-made applications. Apps are tailored to the way you run your practice. You do not need to be a technological wizard to use these Quickbase healthcare software applications. All apps developed are low-code or no-code. This means they are simple to create, user-friendly, and can be integrated into most programs you are currently running. Quickbase uses a cloud-based platform to: Automate and streamline healthcare business processes. Offer a centralized location for storing company data that can be accessed from anywhere you have an internet connection. Have real-time updates of audit reports, patient medical records, and staff scheduling. Quickbase Healthcare Software and HIPAA Compliance Quickbase relies on state-of-the-art healthcare software encryption. They follow strict compliance standards that spills over into HIPAA Compliance. They value PHI (Personal Health Information) to the highest degree. Through independent audits, they have earned some of the strictest compliance certifications, including SOC 1, SOC 2, HIPAA, DFARS, and EU-US Privacy Shield. Quickbase enables clients to build their custom web-based apps according HIPAA compliance. . Quickbase Solutions to Overcome Healthcare Industry Challenges Quickbase helps even the inexperienced staff member improve workflow productivity through: 1. Improved visibility of real-time data With Quickbase, there is no confusion on staff scheduling, patient appointments and files, and billing. Time is not wasted […]

How Quickbase Can Benefit Your Construction Business

Posted on April 18, 2019 by smartboost

According to McKinsey and Company, the construction industry employs about seven percent of the world’s working-age population. Yet, it is one of the least digitized industries. The lack of tracking resources keeps productivity stagnant. While materials and tools continue to modernize, the means of tracking contracts, workers, assets and progress are primarily still done on paper; with very little digitization. These paper processes slow a company’s progress and cost precious time and money. The Unique Perspective of the Construction Industry One thing about the construction industry is true; time is money. No other industry can relate more to the overused adage. Projects are awarded based on time and money. It is always about who can get the job done the fastest at the lowest cost. There are multiple facets to consider when a construction company is making bids: Materials Labor Dates and Deadlines Permits Detailed Plans With each of these factors, cost is the common denominator. For a company to properly bid on a project, they must have a grasp of how to meet the figures they are proposing. It would make sense to have a means of controlling each factor. Yet, as we opened with, the construction industry lacks digitization. These companies are falling behind in productivity and eventually will lose contracts to the construction company who is keeping up with the times. How the Construction Industry Suffers from Productivity Issues Each individual company deals with productivity issues differently. Here are some common threads to all in the construction business: Organization According to the JB Knowledge 5th Annual Construction Technology Report, nearly 60% of construction companies are not investigating any new technologies. The overall feeling of “if it ain’t broken, why fix it?” prevails. The same report surveyed employees. Many suggested integrated project management and digital methods to capture the progress made on job sites. They feel management’s fear of change keeps them in a disorganized state. Communication 52% of rework is caused by poor project data and miscommunication. This fact contributed to over $31 billion of rework in 2018. Performance Just 25% of projects came within 10% of their original deadlines in the past three years. And only 31% of all projects came within 10% of their original budget in the past three years. Contracts 75% of construction companies provide Project Managers and field superintendents with mobile devices. However, only 29% use mobile applications routinely on all their projects. Planning 82% of owners feel they need more collaboration with their contractors. This lack of communication can lead to errors because the average of 35% of all construction projects will have a major change. Risk 78% of engineering and construction companies believe that project risks are increasing. The risks include failing to meet deadlines, being over budget, and working less safe to complete the first two. Technology is the source to streamline processes and innovation. As technology advances, so must the way construction companies approach these inherent risks. Talent 56% of builders reported that they were suffering due to the effects of the skilled labor shortage. Therefore, the construction industry experiences one of the highest turnover rates; 21.4% industry-wide. From workers lacking the training and certifications needed, to the company losing contracts due to poor productivity, the industry as a whole suffers as workers leave in droves. Owners, builders, and workers themselves all agree there needs to be some advances in the way construction businesses function on a day to day basis. And it seems that technology is the key. From managing projects to purchase orders, there needs to be further investigation into new technologies. A technological platform can assist with organization and communication processes. This will increase productivity and help reduce the inherent risks of the construction industry. And Quickbase Solutions are the key. What is Quickbase? Quickbase is an application development platform that provides access to current company information, through custom applications. Apps are tailored to the way you run your construction business.

5 Benefits of Hiring a Quickbase Solution Provider

Posted on February 21, 2019 by smartboost

When you start to notice bottlenecks in your business processes, finding the right solution takes creativity and experience. Each business has its own unique needs and nuances. One size doesn’t fit all if you are aiming for impactful results. That’s why Quickbase has become a go-to platform for business process improvements. It provides the foundation for flexible business application development. The decision to utilize Quickbase is already a step in the right direction. However, as a business-minded person, it makes sense to outsource tasks that aren’t your specialty. That’s where Quickbase Solution Providers come in. These Quickbase experts take the application development off your hands so you can focus on your business. What Is Quickbase? Quickbase is an application development platform in the cloud where business users can create and run custom business applications tailored to exactly the way their organizations work. Quickbase gives companies the ability to create highly customized business applications–to automate and streamline work processes, collect and centralize data, and provide real-time reports and analysis. The unique edge is that Quickbase combines simplicity and ease of use with the power and governance to build enterprise-grade business software. Quickbase gives someone with little to no coding experience the ability to build customized applications specific to their needs. These people are often referred to as “citizen developers.” While it’s possible to try Quickbase application development on your own, there’s a lot of rationale for hiring an external provider. Why Hire a Quickbase Solution Provider? Business process improvements are best approached with expertise. A solution implemented prior to undergoing process improvements will result in a less than optimal solution. While this may be an improvement over what you have today, it will not achieve the results that could have been realized. Learning application development, on top of your primary responsibilities, is a lofty undertaking. It won’t likely be time efficient and the solution you create might have some functionality issues. The decision to utilize Quickbase is sensible, but why should you consider hiring a Quickbase Solution Provider, such as Trinity? Here are five solid reasons. Reasons to Hire a Quickbase Solution Provider 1. Broad Expertise Quickbase Solution Providers have a vast array of knowledge that will result in customized solutions for all of your application development needs. Since we have clients from a range of different business fields, we are well versed in identifying business process opportunities. Thus, we are more efficient with developing the right solution. This increased effectiveness leads to more strategic decision making during the development process. For this reason alone, the decision to use an external provider like Trinity is a no-brainer. 2.

For example, fast-growing Atlanta Recycling is a material recovery facility that didn’t have the workflows to support their growth. They hired Trinity, who provided a new Quickbase ERP application developed to transform their processes. This app tracked customer orders, supplier purchases, and every in between. This allowed Atlanta Recycling to make more educated buying decisions and dramatically cut down on their data entry errors. After the successful implementation of the application, the recycling company no longer needed their other business applications and were able to reduce data entry burdens by 10 hours a week! They now consider Trinity a lifetime partner. For more case studies that display what Trinity can do as a Quickbase Solution Provider, check out our case studies. As any […]
