Company Description

At Quickbase, we’re on a mission to end a universal problem: Gray Work. The ad-hoc, manual work we do looking for documents, resources, etc. when technology isn’t working for us—that’s Gray Work, and it negatively impacts productivity, employee well-being and a company’s bottom line. Quickbase’s platform for Dynamic Work Management (the first ever) empowers nearly 12,000 organizations like Consigli, Suffolk, Valvoline, Daifuku and more to take on Gray Work by bringing people, processes, and data together into one central location, so employees can stop chasing information across systems and focus on work that makes an impact.
