Here’s a quick recap of the meeting: Jen Clark from General Sheet Metalshared her Purchase Order App + Sage 100 Integration and Delivery Management Dashboards. She emphasized how Quickbase helped save her team money on wasted scrap and became more efficient removing duplicate data efforts across the org. They plan to add additional apps, add a mobile component with FastField and more. If you are interested in learning more about how Jen set up the Sage integration, please reach out and I’ll be happy to make an introduction! The group had a had a great conversation onthe difference between Power BI and Quickbaseand ways their companies handle different use cases that might need a Quickbase App vs Power Apps. Definitely worth listening to if you are evaluating the difference between these tools. Kory Hoppes, Solutions Consultant, sharedhow to create secure linkswith the audience. There are few other items he wanted to share, and we’ll be recording and sharing those as a Qrew tip in the new future.

Hello Manufacturing Qrew! Thank you to all who were able to attend October’s Manufacturing Qrew Meeting on 10/2/24. Here’s a quick recap of what happened: 1. Shawn Renn and Rob Mersereau, Sr. Implementation Consultants – Services, joined to do a quick review of the three manufacturing APPs that we are calling Pro Apps in the exchange. 2. To ground everyone with the difference between Pro Apps and other Apps in the exchange, Rob briefly walked through the OSHA, Shop Floor, and Site Management app to showcase the detailed tables, reports, dashboards, test data, and potential areas for customization that customers could use. Shawn Renn also shared tips as well as his excitement for being able to help customer use QBL (Quickbase. Language) and ALM (Application Lifecycle Management) to help manage applications. A huge thank you to both for joining today! 3. To get familiar or refamiliarize with these Pro Apps, we recommend checking out thisPro App Series available in Quickbase University. 4. I also showed a quick video of what it takes to implement a Pro App. You can try download it on your own and take it for a spin. However, we recommend connecting with your account team to work with folks like Shawn and Rob to get started. Their team does a great job with the discovery and planning process to determine how you can successfully implement and customize the Pro Apps to your workflows. 5. We got feedback from customers that these apps are great for inspiration and to show the art of the possible with Quickbase, but there is still a need to be rooted in the question that starts every discovery which is “What is the problem you are looking to solve?” Loved hearing this from our customers. 6.

Hello Manufacturing Qrew! Thank you all who were able to attend Wednesday’s Manufacturing Qrew Meetup. Here’s a quick recap of the meeting: Scott Galloway, Sr. Manager – Solutions Architect, shared how to plan and build with App Scalability in mind. He used fun analogies on how to build solutions horizontally for various business use cases. Below is a screenshot from the presentation that describes instances where scaling horizontally makes the most sense. There are exceptions to the rule, but Scott mentioned that if you score in the medium to high range in these categories, planning for scalability will be critical to its performance. 3. Scott also mentioned tools customer can use such as performance insights, performance analyzer, and governance scorecard to monitor and help plan for scaling and optimal performance. We’re here to help! Reach out to your AE and CSM to discuss the tools mentioned above or share you interest in partnering with Scott’s Solution Architect team for guidance.

Hello Manufacturing Qrew! Thank you to all who were able to attend Wednesday’s Manufacturing Qrew Meet Up! Here’s a quick recap of the meeting: I want to thank Sarah Rhyne, Director of Customer Advisory – Manufacturing, for sharing her career journey, her goals and vision, and giving everyone a quick glimpse into upcoming Manufacturing Apps that are going to be available in the Exchange soon. I’m looking forward to V2 of the OSHA Tracking, Site Safety Audits, and Shop Floor Management app. If you are interested in trying these apps out, V1 is available now in the Exchange. We ran a Menti and hosted a discussion to gather feedback on your excitement level for new apps in the Exchange, challenges your facing in the manufacturing industry, what topics we should focus on our monthly Qrew Meetings. My biggest takeaway was that a few customers are curious how much customization they would need to do to make these apps work for them. They would like a demo showcase using data, a deep dive into the apps, and actionable steps on how they can set up something similar to demonstrate our Manufacturing apps’ full capabilities. What was your takeaway? Feel free to share your thoughts to me and I’ll be happy to discuss this with our Quickbase Manufacturing team. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and will help shape our next agenda in upcoming meetings.
