Operations are complex. Quickbase makes them simpler. Whether you’re juggling bid deadlines, scrambling to keep field teams synced, or wrestling with spreadsheet chaos, we’ve got you. With our latest features, we’re taking that simplicity even further—more automation, smarter insights, and seamless data connection to keep your operations moving effortlessly.  These updates to the Quickbase platform mean one thing: Goodbye workarounds. Hello, workflows that work. Let’s look at what’s new and coming down the pipe for our users.  

Transform Your Operations from Chaos to Clarity 

Ever started your day searching through five different spreadsheets just to find the right data? It’s frustrating and it slows everything down. Now, imagine a world where everything syncs perfectly: data collected and connected without silos, automated workflows created your way, real-time insights keeping you ahead, and apps scaling effortlessly under your control. That’s Quickbase—an AI-powered operations platform built for your unique processes, eliminating messy handoffs, static spreadsheets, stale dashboards, and tech sprawl. Welcome to a new era of productivity. 

​Bringing It All Together: Collect & Connect Critical Data 

Tired of scattered info and tools that just don’t talk? Quickbase brings your data together so you can make smarter decisions—whether you’re in the thick of a busy day or planning the next phase of your project. Here’s how our new features make that possible:

  • FastField: OCR & AI Intelligence Workflows 
    Snap a quick photo of a form and AI takes care of transforming it into data. With our advanced optical character recognition (OCR), photos auto-populate your forms, so you don’t have to worry about mistyping a serial number. Then, thanks to AI-powered submission analysis and workflow routing, field leaders can understand vital information from form submissions and automatically get it into the hands of those who need it. This means critical issues can be handled with the speed they need - no manual workflow building required. 
  • Enhanced Data Integration 
    Managing complex projects shouldn’t mean juggling multiple apps. With our improved OpenAI connector and the new Bluebeam connector—plus an expanded Procore integration—your data flows seamlessly between systems. This unified approach makes managing construction projects and operational tasks a breeze. 
  • Create Quickbase Table from FastField Form 
    Imagine if creating a form in FastField automatically created a fully structured database table in Quickbase. Our new feature does just that, reducing the time needed to connect your FastField data to Quickbase.  
  • Supercharge Your Construction Projects 
    Newly added to our template library, the Project Hub is a Pro App that makes it easy to stay ahead of risks, track progress in real-time, and make informed decisions across all projects, all from one centralized project hub. Think of it as your ultimate construction project visibility tool!

Workflows That Work for You 

Stuck in spreadsheet hell? Swap static cells for smart, automated workflows. Tired of repetitive tasks dragging you down? Quickbase handles the busy work, so your team can focus on what really drives growth and innovation—saving both time and money.

  • AI Spreadsheet Import 
    Turn those spreadsheets into fully functional custom apps without the headache. Our AI doesn’t just import data—it normalizes and structures it, helping you build dashboards, forms, and automated workflows. Finally, a way to make your spreadsheets work for you—not the other way around. 
  • AI Document Scanning 
    Our newest workflow automatically pulls key details from your documents and images, inserting them straight into your Quickbase app. It means less manual data entry and allows you to focus on strategic decisions. 
  • AI Workflow Enhancements   
    Imagine having your entire workflow automated. Our AI-powered “pipeline builder” now takes care of auto-populating all mandatory fields, so you can focus on strategic decisions while your pipeline practically builds itself.    
  • FastField Workflow Improvements 
    Smoother, faster, and more reliable—our enhanced FastField workflows ensure that the right data reaches the right people at the right time. Save valuable time with pre-filled photos, documents, and sub-forms (like invoice line items) that streamline your processes. It’s like having a finely tuned engine running in the background.
  • Data Tables Enhancements 
    The FastField and Quickbase integration is now even stronger. With these new improvements, FastField form builders can select a pre-filtered Quickbase report to populate their drop-downs, instead of the entire table. Now, end users will only see the records most relevant to their task, and form builders can shield their users from information they may not want them to see. 

See It All in Real Time 

Stale dashboards got you down? Get real-time insights to spot opportunities or tackle issues before they escalate. Manage apps at scale to stay in control, grow consistently, and maximize your ROI. Stay ahead with the right insights at your fingertips:

  • Grid Reports 
    Our modern Grid Reports replace clunky tables with a sleek, spreadsheet-like interface that lets you edit data directly. It’s designed for real-time decision-making, keeping you informed at a glance. 
  • AI Data Analyzer Lite 
    AI Data Analyzer Lite lets you uncover “quick insights” - the key factors impacting your results—no data science degree required. This intuitive dashboard dishes out over six vital insights (more for business and enterprise users) that influence your business outcomes, helping you make proactive decisions. 
  • Ask Quickbase AI Product Help 
    Need a quick answer without leaving Quickbase? Our AI-powered Product Help is a chat-style assistant that pulls info from help docs, formulas, and more. It’s your in-app guide, boosting confidence and shortening the learning curve. 

Growing With You: Managing Apps at Scale 

Tech sprawl slowing your teams down? Grow and scale with confidence, not compromise. As your business expands, keeping control is key. Streamline your data and break down silos to get a real-time view of your operations—leading to faster, smarter decisions and fewer costly mistakes.

  • Improved Audit Logs  
    Stay on top of every change with enhanced audit logs that provide deeper insights. Troubleshoot issues, monitor app activity and ensure compliance with ease. The new audit logs events feature now let’s admins oversee pipeline-building activity. Plus, for the first time, app builders can access app-level audit logs directly. All the details you need, right at your fingertips.   
  • Improved Governance Workflow Tools
    Quickbase enables account admins to save time by using a set of Quickbase apps to pro-actively monitor their accounts and take action when needed. Those apps are fed by a special type of integration that populates data from your account’s admin console. We’ve made it easier to govern your account by expanding the pipelines connected table with new fields and adding a new audit logs table.
  • Improved Solution APIs for ALM 
    Manage the lifecycle of your applications from start to finish. Our robust APIs support connected tables, forms, dashboards, and even cross-app relationships—empowering you to build, test, and update apps at scale while keeping full control. 
  • AI App Intelligence 
    Get a clear, concise overview of your applications with AI-powered summaries. Understand your app structure, permissions, and workflows in seconds, making it easier to manage and optimize usage. 
  • Faster bulk data workflows
    Accelerate workflows that automate routine tasks. The Quickbase pipelines channel now offers a new trigger step optimized for bulk data events, like mass imports—ensuring your workflows run faster and more efficiently. 

Why It Matters: Your Success, Our Mission 

At Quickbase, we’re not just another platform. We’re your partner in turning daily challenges into big wins. We help you eliminate silos, cut out manual busywork, and make faster, smarter decisions. Less time fixing problems, more time driving impact.
