If your QuickBase apps don't serve workers in the field, mobile users, clients or vendors, you’re missing tremendous value, and we’ll show you how to get it. In this session, you'll learn how to integrate users outside of company headquarters to achieve seamless communication, visibility, tracking, and performance. This includes mobile and tablet users with work assignments, electronic signatures, approvals, scanning/QR codes, electronic payments, and more. Take QuickBase to the next level of power and value with these practices.

8. #EMPOWER2015
Because bringing your field reps, vendors and sometimes
customers and others into your QuickBase environment can
create seamless communication, visibility, tracking, increase
throughput, save money, and improve performance. It is new
business best practice.
Why go down this path?
9. #EMPOWER2015
We have a lot of “request and fulfillment”- type emails coming in…
(An email or phone call is not a good service request!)
We email customers reports, statuses, etc…
Field Reps are emailing us spreadsheets…
We don’t know the status of work in the field…
Our customers are placing orders by phone and email…
We’re placing orders with vendors by phone or email…
Our Reps have to carry a lot of paper because they don’t have access to the docs or info
in the field.
Where are those Outside Opportunities?
10. #EMPOWER2015
If your outside parties don’t have their place in your
systems, you’re down to email and telephone tag, and
that is an outdated place to be.
11. #EMPOWER2015
Bringing them in can speed up your business, reduce
errors and risk, and improve client relationships: it is a
competitive advantage within your grasp.

Case Study 1: Inviting Critical Clients Into QuickBase
VP
Company:
FLYTE Group is a globally focused travel firm with personalized service,
value and experience in worldwide accommodations and aviation services.
Pain Points:
• Urgent communication delivered ad-hoc and informally.
• Communication with top clients inconsistent with FLYTE Group standard
of customer service.
• Huge financial implications due to human error
“Our service is always delivered at no cost to our customers. We
leverage high volume to negotiate lower hotel rates than our
customers would otherwise find on their own. Hotels pay us. Our
customers benefit from concierge service and lower rates; a ‘win
win’. We do the work, and the client reaps the rewards.”
15. Our business is about over-the-top
service and catering to celebrities. Our
top clients now have technology that
facilitates that service ethic around the
clock. They are always up-to-date and
always pampered—in the air or in the
QuickBase cloud.
Jim Fausel—Owner, FLYTE Group

Case Study 2: Using QuickBase Offline In the Field
VP
Towersource, Inc:
Pain Points:
• Project demands frequent written and photo documentation of progress.
• Field workers are without any reception as they are building cell towers.
Engineering, construction, and project management services for wireless
telecommunications industry clients.
• Main client (one of the largest telecommunications companies)
represents 70- 80% of their business, pays with POs, and requires hours
of weekly meetings to review progress and payments.
19. MEET LIZ COLLEY FROM
TOWERSOURCE—”
“The vision for our custom portal was to resolve
communication issues with our largest client. This
expedites the PO process, gives them access to real-
time project progress and saves hours in productivity
(weekly) for both companies!”

Case Study 3: Using QuickBase Via Tablet in the Field
VP
Company B:
Pain Points:
Home health workers have complex diagnostics and different responsibilities with
each patient.
Industry legally demands documentation and case notes for every home health visit.
$1.5B Revenue
~45,000 employees
Largest privately-held home care provider to seniors and largest provider of
education, vocational training and job placement.
23. Our QuickBase application has become
the formula we incorporate into our
sales pitches, and one of the reasons
we rarely lose to competitors.
Program Director—Company B

27. Once we implemented our vendor
portal, customer complaints have
decreased by 85%; vendor invoices are
received in half the time, and double
bookings have been completely
eliminated.
