Airtable Integration

Taking the time to review your business needs before implementing new software is essential, as is bringing the team in on the selection process and most vitally the training. Management may not always have full understanding of the intricacies of the tools required to get the job done.

One of the reasons our customers return time and time again to ask our Airtable consultants for support is for projects enabling Airtable integration with their in-house and legacy systems across different departments.

For example, whether you need to integrate sales and marketing systems creating a joint reporting interface, or a sales and finance integration with cross functional data entry and reporting, our Airtable consultants can help you build a solid integration for optimal use of your ready data.

Airtable Database

While an Airtable database is simple enough to construct, because the company’s philosophy is to democratize software creation by giving everyone the power to create, sometimes your needs for a relational database are a little more complicated.

If this is the case, request a consultation from one of our accredited Airtable consultants.

What We Hear About Database Tools

At Smarter Business Processes, we hear many of the most common complaints about the available database tools. This list comprises a remarkable set of criteria.

Point to note –

Most of these challenges and issues are avoidable by choosing the correct tool for your organisation and your specific project and ensuring you secure the right training for your team.

Challenges Teams Face With Many Software Tools

  • Overly complex. Employees have to spend time navigating various menus to find the features they need. Staff struggling to navigate an unfamiliar system quickly become stressed and demotivated.
  • Not best fit for your business needs. Management need to have a clear understanding of their business’s database goals and needs to ensure they have the right software. Train your team in tools that are relevant to their role, and achieve what is required.  We can assist in this process.
  • Too labour intensive. Involving repetitive manual tasks such as data entry.  
  • No allowance for the learning curve. As with all new tools and processes, new a database software needs time to bed in. Allocating your team training resources is essential, as is a roll out period to iron out any quirks and address issues.

Find the Right Database Tool For Your Team

Database software requirements vary depending on the business, and the size and scope of the project. But in our experience a strong tool will help you understand and manage your data requirements effectively without costing the Earth.

As accredited Airtable Service Partners we are able to help you assess your business needs and build an integrated database to deliver your goals.

In Summary

Reviewing and changing your relational database toolkit can power efficiencies and be cost effective, provided it is done in the right way. Take the time to consider your company datbase, workflow and business needs, and act in consultation with our Airtable consultancy team for the best results. 

If you are reviewing your business processes and still unsure where to start, get in touch. We can offer a free consultation to uncover the tools, software and processes that are right for you.
