Automate, Schedule and Scan
Hey Qrew!
What an incredible couple of days we had at Empower Pro! Thanks to everyone who joined us! (And if you missed it, you can still tune in on demand here!)
During the event, we announced that FastField is launching the Pro Plan with three exciting new features and as of yesterday, they’re officially live!
If you’re new to learning about FastField, it’s our mobile data collection platform within the Quickbase family, and it just got a major upgrade. On October 13, 2025, FastField rolled out three powerful new features: Task Scheduler, AI Workflow, and Label Scanner OCR. Each one is designed to help field teams work smarter, faster, and with fewer errors. These tools are part of the brand-new Pro Plan, giving operations leaders next-level ways to automate tasks, cut down on mistakes, and keep every project running smoothly.
What is FastField?
FastField is a mobile-first platform that lets teams replace paper and spreadsheets with dynamic digital forms. With FastField, your teams in the field can:
- Capture rich data (photos, video, audio, QR/barcode scans) even offline.
- Dispatch and assign forms to the right people at the right time.
- Automate workflows and route data back into Quickbase or other systems.
- Reduce errors and improve compliance with structured, validated submissions.
For Quickbase customers, FastField is the perfect way to extend your applications into the field, connecting frontline teams directly with your business processes.
What’s New in the Pro Plan?
The new FastField Pro Plan brings advanced automation and AI to the platform, giving growing teams the tools to scale operations with confidence. Here’s what just released:
Task Scheduler
Plan and assign jobs in advance, or set recurring tasks like inspections and maintenance.
- Schedule one-time and recurring tasks and eliminate last-minute coordination headaches.
- Real-time visibility into upcoming and overdue tasks to boost accountability.
- Automated recurring schedules and keep teams in sync.
AI Workflow
Turn data into action with custom AI-driven automations based on normal language prompts.
- Route form submissions automatically.
- Trigger alerts, assign follow-ups, and generate reports without manual setup.

Label Scanner OCR
Capture data from labels like model, part and serial numbers with a quick scan.
- Auto-fill forms in seconds, reducing manual typing errors.
- Speed up inventory, asset management, and compliance reporting.

Together, these features mean less manual work, fewer mistakes, and faster response times, so your teams can focus on the job, not the paperwork.
