BOSTON - March 31, 2025 – Quickbase, the AI-powered operations platform, today announced significant enhancements to its FastField platform for field service management. Introducing AI-powered OCR capabilities and enhanced integration with Quickbase, FastField is transforming how field teams capture and process information.
Turn Photos into Data with One Click
FastField’s new AI-powered Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology lets field teams turn photos and images into structured, actionable data in Quickbase. Teams can snap a photo with a phone or mobile device, intelligently recognizing text, numbers, checkboxes, labels/barcodes, and even handwriting, auto-populating forms dramatically reducing errors and saving hours of manual data entry.
Automatic Table Generation
Mobile teams can capture data, create a FastField form, and instantly generate a structured Quickbase table, reducing manual data entry and making information available in Quickbase – mapped to the right category – for analysis, reporting, and decision-making. Field teams can focus on their actual work, capturing data for instant impact.
Summary Analysis & Workflow Improvements
Using a few AI prompts, users can quickly summarize and analyze submitted forms, reducing information overload and prioritizing for key information – especially useful when managing multiple projects, teams, and location. Meanwhile, new AI-powered workflow routing allows for the automated routing of forms with trigger-based actions built off custom AI prompts – for example, routing machine maintenance requests to the correct repair team – eliminating process time and ensuring the right information makes it to the right person at the right time for decision-making and impact.
“In complex industries, the majority of work happens on job sites, shop floors, and other remote locations, producing a constant stream of information vital to understanding team and project productivity, performance, and safety” said Ed Jennings, CEO of Quickbase. “Capturing and connecting that valuable data into a central location is key to understanding why – or why not – projects stay on track and employees stay safe. FastField is the link between those field teams and the larger organization, and these new AI-powered capabilities ensure that data and information is readily available when it matters most in project execution and decision-making.”
