Transcript for "The Power Play: Why FastField and Quickbase Are Built to Win—Together":
Hey, everyone. Welcome to today's webinar. We have a lot of people still getting dialed into the audio, so we're gonna give about one more minute for people to get systems up and running before we dive in. So just sit tight. In the meantime, a lot of people are dropping in the chat where they're joining us from. Keep doing that. We always love to see where everyone is. Looks like we've got a lot of people international. We love to see we love to see our global friends out there. So, keep that going. And, again, we will get started in just a minute here. Alright. Looks like most people are now in and can hopefully hear everything I'm saying, which is always great. So welcome again to our webinar today. We're talking about why FastField and Quickbase are built to win together. Super excited to share some information with all of you real time and have some of our product experts go through FastField, Quickbase integration, as well as give a little sneak peek at some stuff to come. My name is Charlie Kleiner. I am a customer marketing manager here at Quickbase. So I'm really responsible for doing webinars like this and making sure that all of you are aware of all of the great, features and apps that you're able to leverage within Quickbase and FastField. So, again, super excited, to have this chat with you all today. Before we dive in, just a few housekeeping items. We are recording this session today. So if you have to hop up early, wanna revisit the session at a later date, or share with anyone on your team, that recording will be made available. Be on the lookout for an email to your inbox, tomorrow with that recording. It takes about twenty four hours to process and get sent out to you all, but that will be made available for viewing after the event. We also will have time at the end today for a q and a session with our presenters. So feel free to put questions in the q and a feature at any time throughout the presentation. Again, we will have time at the end for that, but please, please submit those kind of as we go along, and we'll build up that queue and make sure that we answer as many questions as we can at the end. Alright. So let's dive in. Before we dive into the actual content, I want to make sure our speakers get a chance to introduce themselves. These are our product experts. Super excited to have all three of them here with us Hey. So first and foremost, from left to right here, we've got, Michael Dayanhurung, and I'm gonna let him give a quick intro. Michael, do you wanna say hi? Yeah. Hey, everyone. Michael down here on here. I worked with QuickBase a little over three years now. I work on the services team supporting the, FastField product. Excellent. Thank you, Michael. Excited to have you here today. Next up, we've got Jacob Buslowitz. Jacob, do you wanna say hi to everyone and intro yourself? Yeah. Hey, everyone. Nice to be here. I'm a solutions consultant here at QuickBase. Also been here about three and a half years, but come with, over six years of experience and expertise in our product. I mean, essentially, what I do is help customers along their journey and improving their operations and really see where Quickbase can fit into that vision. So I'll be hanging out here in the background today, and then we'll be here to help answer any questions that you have following the session. Excellent. Thanks, Jacob. Glad to have you here. And last but not least, we have Matthew Fry with us. Matthew, I'm gonna let you say hi and then dive right into the presentation. Alright. Thank you, Charlie. So my name is Matthew Fry. And over the past fifteen plus years, I have worked with field service organizations around the world in industries, you know, like utilities, telecom, oil and gas construction, facilities management, and and the list goes on, really. Helping teams navigate that digital transformation and strengthen the connection between the field and the office. Right? And bringing that technology to the table. So I'm really grateful to be here with you today and to share, you know, what FastField and Quickbase are doing together. And they're not just powerful on their own, but they're truly built to win together. So we look forward to to being together with you today, and, I think we'll move to the agenda. K. So, today we're gonna cover a few things, which is the broken field service operations that might be occurring in your company or in companies that you know of, and may not. You know? Right? So we're gonna find that out. The impact of disconnected teams, what winning teams are doing different. Right? What what what can we do to make that better? The power play between Quickbase and fast field and how that combination really makes the difference. And then we'll open that up to some, q and a. Alright. So to start, what we're gonna do is just kinda lay the groundwork. We're going to look at a few examples of what what typically isn't working for field service organizations, and then we'll flip the script, and and Mike will jump into how, forward looking teams are changing that narrative. Right? And how they're doing it with the combined power of FastField and Quickbase. So to start, the story is often the same. Right? It's teams want efficiency, they want better technology, overall visibility on projects, status of tasks, a holistic aggregated dataset, and insight on what's working and what's not. But the tools, you know, that you might have in place or companies might have in place are siloed. So this is stuff I hear quite often, right, over the time I've done this. They're working with paper forms, Excel spreadsheets, or outdated apps that, you know, that aren't doing the job for what they need, or technology that just isn't up up to speed with the current, technology that's out there. And they really want to get that visibility across the board. So, field crews are spending hours compiling these reports and doing double entry while the office is scrambling to get that information and make sense of it. And so oftentimes, what I'm hearing from the office is, listen, we don't totally know what's going out in the field, And then you hear vice versa. The field team saying, hey, we'd like more clarity from the office. So that's really what we're gonna be, tackling and talking about today. So So we will be going through some slides. We will have a demo. We're also, as, was described, we're gonna be going into, some future features that are pretty exciting. But for now, we're gonna focus in on, you know, what we're talking about now, which is when it comes, like, to safety, for example, that disconnect from office to field, it becomes even more critical. And many of our companies and the companies that you work with, safety is, prime. Right? And, safety risk need to be identified immediately and communicated and acted upon, not hours or days later. Right? As we all know, those small risk can lead into or escalate into compliance issues and near misses can become accidents. Eventually, right, failed compliance may lead to costly fines, penalties, which impact the bottom line. All of this could be avoided, with timely data. So, Michael and I were talking and many of us were talking, timesheets comes up a lot. Right? And and through my time, timesheets has often been a pain point for field service organizations. For many companies, it's daily or a weekly scramble. Crews text hours to supervisor. Some of the stuff I've heard is just wild. Right? And they're working with different spreadsheet formats and trying to push that to the office, and then the office is taking all of the information, reentering it manually often to get into the payroll systems that you might have. Mistakes, obviously, are common and employees are getting frustrated. Supervisors and office staff waste valuable time. And something as simple as tracking those hours ends up slowing down the payroll, costing accuracy, and creating tension across the organization. And again, just kinda setting the stage for some of the problems, that that I've experienced and and discussed with companies. Another one would be like asset tracking. Right? It's it's no different. Too often, serial numbers, warranty details are scribbled down on paper or found in the inbox, someone's inbox. Right? Project managers are commonly telling me, listen, we have the equipment on a project site. We don't really know where on that project site or if it sometimes is even at that project site. Or when was the last maintenance that equipment had. And oftentimes, this can lead to lost times and sometimes broken equipment slowing the whole project down. So I don't know if this is resonating with you all, but this is again, you know, common. Right? The result is missed maintenance, unexpected downtime, expensive replacements that were never budgeted, and missed project deadlines ending in in more fines. So moving on, there's a cost to all of this. Right? When you step back and you look at these examples together, the pattern is is really clear. Research is done, research done has indicated that 45% of the of the teams, that we that that are out there, lose over eleven plus hours a week, not just chasing down information, but trying to compile that information. And 30% of the work ends up being redone. Right? Businesses lose credibility and money because of systems that are not talking with each other. It's estimated $31,000,000,000 is lost annually due to this disconnect of systems. Failed compliance audits alone can can result in heavy fines and often feel like your company is always reacting instead of being proactive or leading. And that's the true cost of disconnection, not just in dollars, but in trust from your customers, safety for your teams, and projects and activities, not being completed on time. So as you can see, these are some of the headaches that most field and office teams are dealing with today. Some of them you may recognize, others you're like, no, we solve for that. Right? But the good news is winning teams have found really a better way. Right? And I'm gonna pass it over to Michael now who's gonna to show you what that looks like. Hey. Thanks, Matthew. You painted a clear picture of the challenges, when the field and office are disconnected. Like Matthew mentioned, the good news is we don't have to operate this way anymore. So let's let's take a look at what winning teams are doing. Right? So winning teams are getting data to flow instantly to your decision makers. This helps automate workflows, speed up processes. This also means that approvals can happen in minutes. Winning teams also provide access to the same live view of data. Their forms are set up to feed reports upon submission, make sure they're, updated. Right? The most up to date information right there right then and there. No extra data entry or mistakes. This means that compliance is built in. Team has eyes on the issues before they even escalate. So let's revisit those same three scenarios that Matthew mentioned earlier. We'll start off with the safety. Safety that works. Right? Imagine that same safety inspection. Instead of filling out that form on paper or in Excel, inspection is done right in the FastField mobile app. On submit, submission of that that form, the data is set straight in the Quickbase, with all the notes and any of the media that were taken. Anything that needs to be addressed or is unsafe, safety managers will know immediately. Ultimately leads to safer work conditions, less accidents. Timesheets. Field the field team can log hours using their phone. No more texts or crumpled up papers, automatically calculate things like overtime or holiday pay based off of the time entered. And then upon submission again, this data gets sent straight into Quickbase, and then, it can feed your payroll and part project costing systems. No more need no need to to reconcile things like your spreadsheets or reenter any data. Asset collection. FastField makes it incredibly easy to to scan barcodes, serial numbers, and even take photos of assets. All the data for your assets are in one area instead of a spreadsheet, an email, or different apps. And then just like the time sheets, the data is structured and validated out in the field, which eliminates mistakes and any lost details. Because the data is syncing in real time, your managers have access to the full inventory, any maintenance schedules, and where exactly they're they're they're deployed. No more blind spots in planning or reporting. I'll bring up some key features here. So there's a ton of features that FastField offers today that can help streamline sending your data back to the office. I'm gonna highlight just a few. Offline data capture, reliably collect your data even when you don't have the best connection. FastField has the capability of geotagging and time stamps. Right? Know exactly where and when a submission is made. You can also do this on a field level to see exactly where that particular photo is taken and when that photo is taken. We can also generate a PDF and a word report. So if you collect the, collect data using a a FastField mobile mobile form and you wanna overlay that on top of a PDF template that you have existing, we can do that. And then barcode, NFC, and OCR are what we're calling label scanner. We mentioned this very briefly in the asset situation. Right? Easily scan barcodes, and then populate other fields in the form. There's quite a few, features in that FastField offers today that can help streamline. Just wanted to highlight a few. And now that we've gone through what winning teams are doing and how FastField and Quickbase can play in part in that, let's look at one more scenario. So here's the problem. We have a crew. They identify faulty gas meters using notes and photos on paper. They take that back to their office, who then reenters any details from that crew and manually create the work order. Delays in replacing the meters means increased safety risk and further project delays. So here's the power play. Right? FastField and quick base working together. Using FastField, field techs can log gas meter issues with photos, meter IDs, and any notes straight in the form out in the field. Upon submission, that gets straight into, gets sent straight into Quickbase. That triggers automatic review, and that workflow dispatches a work order to have it replaced. The crew the crew receives that work order. They're able to replace that faulty meter quickly and, with full visibility across the team. So let's jump into that demo video, where we can see this in practice. Welcome. Today, we'll show how Fast Field and Quickbase connect the field in the back office in real time. Instead of delays, errors, and disconnected updates, our unified platform turns field insights into immediate action, giving you clear visibility, faster decisions, and smoother operations across your entire team. Let's start by introducing Quickbase. This is your central command center for frontline work management. At a glance, you can see exactly what's happening across your field operations. The dashboard highlights your most critical KPIs, the number of open work orders, completions, overdue items, and how many of those directly impact customers. Revenue generated is tracked right alongside, so you can connect field productivity with business outcomes. The map view shows you where your technicians are currently assigned, making it easy to balance workloads geographically and respond quickly to emerging priorities. On the right, you have a breakdown of open work orders by priority level, helping you focus resources where they're needed most. And just below, supervisors can see the full list of active work orders. This view links the high level KPIs to the actual jobs in the field with details like customer name, category, priority, status, and due dates. From here, you can filter or sort to find the most urgent task or drill directly into a single work order to review notes, confirm dates, and take action. Now that we've seen how supervisors can monitor work orders in real time, let's look at how a new work order gets created. Work orders can be launched directly here in Quickbase. Simply click create work order to enter the details, assign it to a technician, and schedule it for completion. This makes it easy for supervisors to quickly respond to issues or plan proactive maintenance. But in the field, it often works the other way around. Technicians on-site at customer locations are the first to spot issues or items that need attention. For these situations, the same work order can be captured right from a mobile device. The technician can enter the details and submit the work order on the spot, ensuring that no matter where an issue is identified, it's captured quickly and flows seamlessly into the same work management system. Let's walk through how a technician in the field can capture a new work order using FastField. In this example, a gas meter replacement identified during a routine site visit. We'll start by selecting the customer name. This pulls data directly from Quickbase so technicians can avoid manual data entry for existing accounts. Next, the technician captures the location using GPS. This ensures the exact position of the meter or issue is tied to the work order. So when another crew is dispatched, they know precisely where to go on-site. Now we add the work order title and key dates. This sets the request and target completion timelines, ensuring the supervisor and field teams are aligned. From there, we choose the category and priority, which helps the back office understand whether this is routine work, like a scheduled replacement, or something more urgent, like a leak response. In the description field, technicians can use speech to text to quickly dictate observations. For example, they might note existing gas meter is outdated and showing irregular readings, replacement required. Finally, photos can be captured directly in the form. These aren't just static images. They can be annotated or marked up to highlight important details, like the exact location of the meter or any visible damage. That visual context is tied to the work order, making it easier for the next technician to act. Once all details are entered, the technician taps submit, and the work order flows seamlessly into the supervisor's dashboard, ready to be scheduled, tracked, and completed. Back in Quickbase, we can see that same request now represented as a work order record. At the top, the status bar makes it clear where it stands in the life cycle, from open through approval and in progress, all the way to completed. All of the information captured in the field is already populated, customer details, GPS location, dates, and description, giving the supervisor full visibility without any extra data entry. Supporting photos or documents are available here as well, so the supervisor can review exactly what the technician observed on-site. This closes the loop between field observations and office operations, ensuring that what's identified on-site by technicians quickly becomes an actionable, trackable job in the system. From this screen, the supervisor now has the ability to accept or reject the work order. That decision determines whether the request moves forward into scheduling and task assignment or whether it's returned for clarification. In this case, we will accept the work order to advance the process. After doing so, the system automatically loads template tasks based on the selected work order type. Here, utilities, gas meter replacement. You can see each step prebuilt in the task list. Certain tasks like the replace gas meter task can be linked to an equipment asset, and the total equipment cost rolls up automatically at the top. As hours are assigned and completed, the technician cost and roll ups update in real time. Next, the supervisor can move into the assignment step. Here, they can search for and select the assigned technician. The system pulls from the employee directory, making it easy to find someone with the right skills or certifications for the job. In this case, a technician trained for gas meter replacements. A task calendar view is provided to give supervisors complete visibility into all active assignments across the team. You can quickly see where technicians are already booked and avoid conflicts or double booking. Next, the supervisor defines the scheduled start date and time. This sets expectations for both the field crew and the customer and ensures the work order flows into the technician's daily schedule. With the technician selected and the start time set, the work order is now fully scheduled and ready for dispatch to the field. On the scheduled day for the task, Quickbase will dispatch the associated work order to the assigned technician so it appears in their inbox in FastField. They can click in to see information about the work order that has been prefilled in for them based on the details captured in Quickbase. Each of the tasks associated with the work order are visible to the technician as well. They can click to view details for the task and log the appropriate info, like the task status and start and end times for each task. For guidance in the field, technicians can use the document viewer to access embedded instructions, such as an installation guide or a safety walk through. This means every step is backed up with the right procedure directly at their fingertips. If the task involves equipment, the equipment scanner can be used to scan a barcode or QR code on the device, tying that asset's serial number back to the work order automatically. As the technician finishes each step, they also have the option to capture photos as proof of work. These images can be annotated or marked up to highlight what was replaced, tested, or updated. The photos are automatically tied to the work order, providing clear documentation for both the supervisor and the customer. Once the tasks are complete, the technician updates the work order status to complete. At this point, a new field appears to capture the customer's signature. The customer can review the work directly on the mobile device and provide their digital sign off confirming the job was finished to their satisfaction. With the customer's sign off complete, the work order is fully documented and instantly synced back to Quickbase. All of the field data, technician hours, task time stamps, equipment usage, photos, and the customer signature is now available in the back office in real time. Supervisors can see the completed job in their dashboard, while downstream workflows like payroll, invoicing, and compliance reporting can further leverage this data. This closes the loop from field to office, turning every completed job into actionable data for the business without any manual reentry. This is just a glimpse of what's possible with Quickbase and FastField. If delays, errors, or manual work are slowing you down, we're here to help you streamline operations and keep your teams connected. It's time to say goodbye to workarounds and hello to workflows that work. K. So, you know, thank you, Jacob. The wonderful video there that that you produced, really focused on the Quickbase and FastField play. Right? How the two work together, to make that, so much better for your teams. So what I'd like to do is I'd like to jump into, a few new features that are coming soon. And then what we'll do is we'll jump into some q and a time. Okay? So, Charlie, I don't know if we have that slide with the new features coming soon. If not, I'll just speak to it. I'm not seeing it here in the deck, but let me go ahead and speak to the new features that that we have coming up. Okay. So, first of all, some new features that are coming soon, when it comes to, Fast Field and Quickbase. And specifically Fast Field is we have a task scheduler, and, we should be able to show a quick little snippet of what task scheduler is here in a second. It's really gonna allow for you to have if you have reoccurring tasks that need to go out to your teams either on a daily, weekly, monthly basis that just happen all the time, it can deliver those tasks out to your team members and and groups, so that they can complete those and you know know the status of those tasks. So that's exciting. You can do one time scheduled events to go out, like, you know, in a month from now, in a few days from now, or like I said, a reoccurring event. Label scanner is is also super exciting. Basically, it's it's like an OCR, but we're just focused on capturing, you know, the scanning of a label or tags to pull in serial numbers, model numbers, and items that you might need, to to drop that data directly into your fast field forms and then ultimately when you submit that to go to Quickbase. So great, example where that might be used is your field teams going out to do equipment inspections and they can scan, you know, a a badge or a tag that exists, and that that then can pull in the data onto your form. We're also gonna be bringing to the table AI workflow, and that AI workflow really allows for escalation, workflow alerts, and follow-up tasks. What it what it will do is allow for your teams who are building forms and working with FastField to simply say, this is what I wanna do. If there's a failure at all on any of our inspection, I want it to prompt an escalation to our supervisor. I want to alert our safety team that there might be a risk, in the risk assessment. And not only that, I wanna deliver the report to these individuals. What's beautiful about this is you're not having to go in and create little minutiae, like, conditions within a workflow. You're able to just prompt it, prompt the AI to say, this is what I'm looking for, and then it will build that workflow for you. Ultimately, you know, another thing that we're bringing to the table is summarization. Okay? So summarize, your report. So let's say that you have a report with a 100 questions and there's pass fail items, you could just simply say, I need to know if any of these failed. And if they failed, please provide a summary report and deliver that to maintenance team. And it will simply create a separate report that summarizes any failures and delivers that to the destination you desire. K? So pretty exciting. Last but not least, if you go in and you're working with FastField, you have an assistant now. That assistant is FIA. FIA is an AI, bot, but really amazing. I've tested it a lot. I played with it, and I've found that, it is extremely good at what it does. So that's where you can lean in and ask questions about, hey, how do I, you know, build a report or how do I build a workflow to do, you know, whatever you want it to do? And FIA can help lead you through the process of doing that. So, really exciting new features. Charlie, I don't know if we could go ahead and play the task scheduler, and then we'll follow with the label scanner so you can kinda get a sense of how that's work how that, works within FastField. FastField task scheduler enables operations teams to easily schedule recurring or singular one time tasks. The task scheduler will save your operations team valuable time and provide your field teams full visibility into their daily, weekly, and monthly assignments. Let's explore how Task Scheduler boosts efficiency with automation, delivers timely assignments, and gives both office and field teams greater visibility into every task. The first notable benefit of Task Scheduler is increased efficiency through the automation of task assignments. Your team will spend less time on repetitive scheduling and more time on meaningful work. This allows dispatchers and managers to handle more jobs with fewer errors and less administrative overhead. The second major benefit is that the task scheduler will ensure timely assignments and dispatch notifications to a specific team member or user group. Whether it's daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly, tasks are sent out exactly when they're needed and available in your team's fast field inbox. Finally, Task Scheduler offers real time insight into schedule details, such as recent dispatches and what is scheduled, what's completed, and what's overdue. So both office and field teams stay aligned and informed. With Task Scheduler, you're not just scheduling repetitive tasks. You're building a more efficient, connected, and proactive field to office operation. We hope you found this short introduction to Task Scheduler helpful. Please check out our how to get started video with Task Scheduler in our help center, or chat with Fia, our AI assistant, anytime you have questions or need further guidance. What is FastField's label scanner? How can it help your mobile teams make data collection faster, easier, and more accurate from the field back to the office? Technicians often need to record information from equipment labels or asset tags, serial numbers, model numbers, manufacturer details, and more. That's where FastField's label scanner makes a huge impact on repetitive data entry. Simply use FastField's label scanner to capture text from a label and have the text automatically map into the correct fields on your form. You can even save these field mappings as templates for repeated use. Consider every piece of equipment, asset, tag, and use case your team handles each day when collecting data. By capturing this information digitally, you'll gain improved accuracy and fewer errors, reducing mistakes from manual entry, ensuring cleaner data, and minimizing the need for follow ups or corrections later. We hope you found this short introduction to LabelScanner helpful. Please check out our how to get started video with LabelScanner in our help center, or chat with Fia, our AI assistant, anytime you have questions or need further guidance. Alright. Good deal. Thank you, Matthew and Michael, for walking us through all of that and for those, brief demo videos of some of those new features as well. Super helpful, Matthew, to kinda get a preview of some of the new stuff and what's to come. We will have time now for some q and a. I see some people have submitted questions through the q and a feature, but feel free to continue, dropping those questions in there as we answer some of these that are in right now. A couple of things before we dive into that, I did notice a few people asking about, the recording. We are recording this right now live, and that will be made available for viewing. Should be about twenty four hours upon completion of this webinar. So be on the lookout for that to your email inbox tomorrow. Really quick as well on the screen, you can see a couple of QR codes here. You can actually start a free trial of FastField, or a Quickbase or both. I know we have a lot of people on the webinar who are already using Quickbase or already using Fastfield. So, definitely scan those and kinda try it out for yourself for free. That's, you know, a great way to, learn more about both products and try some of those new features upfront as well. One really quick thing from my end as well. Again, then we'll get to some questions. But I did wanna let everyone know on this call as well. A lot of you are familiar with our Empower Pro virtual customer event, that is really focused around a lot of our product road map, demonstrating some new features. Matthew just gave us a little bit of a look at some of those newer features, but there is a lot more to come both for Quickbase and FastField that we'll be announcing live, showing products deep dives and doing some hands on trainings as well. So that Empower Pro virtual event will be October. Registration for that will open next week. So stay tuned for more info. Be on the lookout, but just wanted to give everyone here on this webinar that exclusive save the date for that event. So start blocking your calendars for October for, some exciting new product launches and, trainings for that. So with that, let's get into some questions here. Let me take a look. Matthew, can you just reemphasize when some of those new features that you walked through will be available? Yes. Thank you. And I'm super happy you brought that up because, that's an important component to this is come October, we're looking to release the task scheduler, the label scanner, the AI workflow both for summarizer and conditional workflows. FIA, the assistant, that's out now. But what I would say is those other ones, coming out in October, super excited to get those into your hands. So thank you for that, Charlie. Awesome. We have a couple questions on task scheduler, it looks like. Let's see. Can task scheduler be used in a method to assign or notify teams of their next job assignment? Yeah. I mean, technically, what what the task scheduler is gonna do is going to say, hey. We have certain tasks that we're going to be doing every week, like a vehicle inspection or a safety form that needs to be done by a team. So the reoccurring would be, hey. I need everybody in the team that to submit a form, or I need an individual on that team to submit this form, or I'm going to send it to John Smith to every week just you know, so you can kinda break it up in that way. There's a single task, which is I wanna schedule this out at the end of the week, and it's not gonna reoccur. Now all of those kind of deal with either reoccurring or scheduling in the future. We also have just out of the gate, which is already existing, our dispatch functionality, which is, hey. I can either upload a an Excel spreadsheet with all of the dispatches that need to go out to our team, and those would send tasks to the inbox within FastField. But it what it doesn't have is that component, which is I wanna schedule this out. So if you do that, you're gonna be having it immediately go out, if that makes sense. So we have all three options on the table. The task scheduler, again, is coming out in October. But if you need to just send out dispatches today, to your team, you can do that immediately right now within FastField. And and and as a note, if you work with Quickbase, Quickbase has a pipeline that does allow for you to take data directly from Quickbase, schedule that, dispatch that out to a FastField form, and either to a group or a team, or to an individual. So that also exists. Awesome. Thank you, Matthew. And, that actually answered the next question that we had around connecting FastField and Quickbase a little bit. So we love to see that. Let me see what else we've got here. Curious to get people's perspective. Let's see. If a company is using either QuickBase or FastField, what's the biggest advantage of bringing them together? Good. Yeah. Matthew, I can jump in and take that one if you want. Yeah. Great. Yes. I think the the biggest advantage of bringing the two tools together so historically, Quickbase and FastField, before they came together, there were two tools that are solving distinct problem sets. And if you look at that, Quickbase has always been a really good tool for managing your back office operations, everything from, you know, project management, operational tracking, asset tracking, scheduling, things of that nature that really allow you to run your business and see what your total operations look like across the lens of that business. FastField, on the other hand, has always been optimized for people who are out away from a laptop all or most of the time and need to really just focus on simple data collection in the field where you might not need all of the overhead of, like, a full application like we have in Quickbase. You just wanna be able to quickly go in, see those tasks, enter your information, and be able to move on with your day or to your next site. So, really, it's about bringing them together and being able to have the tool that serves the persona best for their specific workflow. So people who are office based really can go into Quickbase. And then we also do, of course, have a Quickbase mobile application, which we see that as something that somebody who would primarily be working in an office can still have interactions with and see that data from Quickbase on the go. But Fastfield is really well optimized for that full data collection. And bringing the two two of them together, what it allows you to have is that unified view and see that full life cycle of work. So let's say, for example, a technician goes out, they perform an inspection. Historically, in FastField, you know, you have that information and the data submission, but there's not something that has this overarching tie in across your entire workflow where you can see maybe the link to a customer, different details about the customer, how many inspections have we conducted for them, what are the number of issues that we identified here, and then ultimately also being able to drive workflow and resolution and have each step of that process all tied together in one unified platform. So that's really what we see as the big value statement between bringing the two together. Again, allowing the two tools to do what they've done well for years and years, but now doing it even better together. Awesome. Thank you, Jacob. Next question here. Once that field data is collected, how does Quickbase automate the next step, whether it's updating schedules, generating work orders, or triggering alerts? Yep. I can take that one as well. So within Quickbase, we have an entire custom application platform, which also allows you to design automated workflows and rules that are specific to your business and your processes. So kind of building upon the example that I just answered in the previous question, as a submission comes in from FastField, if there are any potential issues or observations that you need to take action on, Quickbase can automatically handle that next step, whether it's escalating, assigning to a different technician to follow-up in the field, or whatever that might be, and then allow you to track the full state of that work from the original submission in FastField to reassigning or escalating, and then ultimately up through issue resolution as one example. Excellent. Thank you. We have a couple questions about, offline data collection. So can one of you guys speak to how FastField handles that offline collection piece, and what that sync process looks like then once there is connectivity? Sure. Yeah. I can I can go with that one? So fast field, offline allows for your teams to work where there's not connectivity. Right? And so if I if I have a particular form I'm filling out, I will not lose any data that's being collected, and you can work an entire day, a week offline. But, ultimately, you want that data to get up into the cloud. Right? And so let's say that I'm out in the rural rural area. There's not good connectivity. I complete an inspection or an audit. I get back into my truck. I'm driving down the road. If my fast field application is open, that FastField application, you know, at that point will allow for the sync folder in FastField to first of all, if you submit that form, it's gonna drop into your sync folder when you're offline. But once you hit connectivity as you're driving that vehicle along, it will, validate with the server and then move to what we call the submitted folder. And you'll see it move, from sync folder to submitted folder. So, number one is the app does need to be open in order for that action to occur. Other than that, that that's how that connection, happens. Is there more maybe to that question, Charlie, or did that answer it? I believe you answered it. But, if people have follow-up questions to those, feel free to drop those in. It seemed there were a few just on curiosity around if that was possible Yeah. And what that sync looked like. Yeah. Yeah. And I might I might just add is, like, listen, Fast Field features, they all oh, like, you can work with all the feature sets, like take photos, GPS tagging and time stamping, signature capture, dynamic forms, all can be offline. Right? So there's not a requirement, for you to be online in order for your forms to function in the way that you expect. Awesome. Thank you. Looks like we are getting through most of the questions here. Again, if anyone has any final questions, feel free to throw them in. The only remaining questions that I'm seeing on my end are, questions around the specific people specific QuickBase or FastField accounts, how to, get started adding on QuickBase or FastField, what kind of that, like, billing and invoicing process looks like. Those are all super great questions. Please reach out to your account manager on those. They will be able to help provide additional context and information based on your Quickbase realm or your FastField instance. Not a question that I can answer. Generally, it'll just kind of be, taking a look at what your account looks like. But, again, FastField and Quickbase, great partners. They connect wonderfully together. So I love to see those questions about, kind of moving forward there. I believe that is it for questions then. So quick reminders, feel free to start that free trial either of FastField or Quickbase and those QR codes on the screen. Look out for that email tomorrow with, the recording of this webinar as well as some additional resources for you all that will be helpful talking about kind of that Quickbase and Fast Field integration as well. Keep in mind, Empower Pro coming out October. Lock your calendars. More information to come on that next week. And with that, I think we can wrap things up. So thank you so much everyone for joining. Thank you, Matthew, Michael, and Jacob for walking us through all of the great content today. And everyone have a great rest of your day. Thank you.
