What is a Quickbase partner?

Quickbase Solution Providers (QSPs), also known as Quickbase Partners, are services-focused partners that build and develop custom applications on the low-code Quickbase platform. They are certified experts in native Quickbase functionality and can extend platform capabilities through integrations, add-ons, custom interfaces and more.

They specialize in:

  • App Design
  • Building Apps
  • Fixing Broken Apps
  • Enabling People to Build
  • Integrating Quickbase
  • Implementing Plug-ins
  • Creating Custom Plug-ins
  • Continuing support and enhancements

What are the advantages of working with a Quickbase partner?

Quickbase partners’ expertise in the technology means several things. One, they can go faster, meaning they save time and money and allow you to achieve ROI at a much greater rate. Two, they know what to look for because they understand the product’s strengths and uses. Three, they get the job done right the first time, meaning they avoid costly re-works. Just as importantly, Quickbase partners create their apps with an emphasis on increased security to ensure every iteration is safely implemented.

Because one of the main goals of QSPs is to add value, they focus on advanced delivery and implementation capabilities, leveraging their industry and process expertise, and driving Quickbase adoption and success. But they don’t stop there. They also work with customizations, including integrations and special user interfaces that remove limitations and roadblocks with Quickbase. The end result is a more strategic application and approach.

Ultimately, a Quickbase partner can speed your time to launch, increase the safety and security of your app, improve user adoption, and save you time and money. 

What can a Quickbase partner do?

Besides helping save you time and money in the long run, QSPs’ consultative approach works for you as much as it works with you. Everything is designed to help you improve your process, collaboratively. Ultimately, it means they’re willing to work the way you work.

They’re well versed in sitting down, together, to help define and plan a new app or define and document changes in your process. Whatever the deliverables are, QSPs ensure they translate to an actual technology. And they’re experts in pursuing continuous iteration and collaboration within the build to help roll it out and ensure adoption. it’s about managing the constant change to keep up with your business needs and keep your app relevant. And that’s the real power of Quickbase—it doesn't stand for a moment in time, rather it continues to evolve.

How does Quickbase choose partners?

In order to ensure the highest quality end product, Quickbase has to be very selective about whom they choose to bestow the title "partner." A huge part of their vetting process entails reviewing the security chops, project accountability and overall reputation of the potential partner in question. Potential partners also need to have worked closely with Quickbase in the past, typically having direct contact with Quickbase contacts. In the larger scheme, Quickbase is an excellent building platform, but they rely on their partners to provide the individual building blocks—that's why choosing partners is so important to them.

As far as their QC process for their potential partners, we've already touched on a few key criteria. An additional point is they have to be financially sound—Quickbase wants to ensure they're aligned with equally successful partners moving forward. Quickbase also takes into account awards & reviews to help highlight the best partners. If other third-party reviewers are giving positive marks, it's a safe bet that company would make a good partner moving forward. On the flip side of that, once partners are in the fold, Quickbase ensures that partners that do well are always rewarded. VeilSun is an excellent example of this phenomenon. As they've won more and more industry recognition for being the highest rated solution provider, Quickbase has given them more opportunities to raise the brand profile together.

When it comes to working with consultants, Quickbase prefers very close working relationships. Why? Because Quickbase doesn't have professional services. Instead, they have industry expertise on hundreds of ongoing implementations along with inside information. So, because Quickbase understands there is a high value in professional developers, Quickbase works very closely with partners as their professional services firm. That means that for any type of important implementation, most partners end up acting as Quickbase's de facto entity, something that's for the client’s common good as well as general accountability.
