Learn how Quickbase, an award-winning cloud-based application development platform for creating custom solutions to everyday business challenges, employed StatusCast to increase the transparency of their system status and availability.

Companies of all sizes need databases. These days, most look for ways to organize, store, and access data without using large teams of developers. That’s where Quickbase comes in, with its award-winning, low-code application development services that make it easy to build applications and connect systems fast.

Quickbase serves more than 6,000 clients, including many members of the Fortune 100. Their easy-to-use platform enables non-developers and developers alike to build process/project management, asset and order tracking, customer and contract management, time and expense, sales, HR applications, and many more.

Keeping that many clients informed about scheduled maintenance and providing real-time platform status is a challenging prospect for any business. Still, Quickbase views transparency and uptime as critical elements of being customer-focused.

Quickbase initially built its own custom website tool for uptime reporting, which they used for several years. But, like most in-house developed tools, it required maintenance and code management. As employees moved to different positions, managing the tool became an issue.

To keep its uptime and proactive communication promise to customers, Quickbase knew it was time to look for a better solution.

When Quickbase began their search, they looked at several status page tools from leading providers. When they found StatusCast, they quickly discovered how responsive and agile the team at StatusCast was compared to other providers.

As Quickbase compared the benefits of providers on its shortlist, it found that StatusCast was easy to implement, and the dashboard was super simple to customize. It also became clear that a status page is vital for fast, clear communication between a company and its employees or clients.

In addition, Quickbase wanted to maintain a system of record that could be used to demonstrate system availability over multiple years and provide reporting to both Quickbase customers and staff on demand.
