Quickbase Application Development That Moves at Your Speed

We start with a discovery phase—usually a few calls to understand your goals, existing systems, and priorities. Then we move into sprint-based development with three 15-minute standups per week and one 1-hour project meeting.

Each sprint (typically 1-2 weeks) ends with working software you can test and provide feedback on. We adjust priorities continuously based on what we learn together.

Absolutely—remediation is half of what we do. We'll start with a health assessment to understand the current architecture, identify pain points, and prioritize fixes. Common issues include performance problems, broken automations, security gaps, and technical debt from years of ad-hoc changes.

We'll give you an honest assessment of what can be fixed in place versus what might benefit from a rebuild. Sometimes a targeted remediation is all you need; sometimes starting fresh is actually faster.

We begin with an application audit—reviewing table structures, relationships, automations, security settings, and performance bottlenecks. You'll get a written assessment with prioritized recommendations.

From there, we work through fixes in priority order. Some clients want us to handle everything; others prefer a hybrid where we tackle the complex issues and train their team on the rest. The same standup rhythm applies—you'll see progress weekly.

Scope changes are expected in RAD—they're a feature, not a bug. Our sprint-based approach means priorities can shift at the end of any sprint without derailing the project.

If you discover halfway through that a different feature is more valuable, we pivot. The monthly engagement model means you're paying for dedicated time, not a fixed deliverable. We'll always be transparent about trade-offs: adding scope here means deferring something there.

It varies widely based on complexity. A focused remediation might take 1-2 months. A new MES or QMS application typically runs 3-6 months. Large enterprise implementations with multiple integrated apps can extend beyond that.

The 6-month contract option works well for substantial projects. Month-to-month is ideal for smaller efforts or when you're not sure how long you'll need support.

Yes—while manufacturing is our specialty, the RAD methodology and Quickbase expertise apply broadly. We've built applications for project management, customer portals, field service, and operational workflows across industries.

That said, our deepest expertise is in regulated manufacturing environments where we understand the compliance requirements and domain-specific challenges.

As the contract nears completion, we'll discuss next steps together. Options include renewing at the same rate, transitioning to month-to-month for ongoing support, or wrapping up with a clean handoff including documentation and training.

You're never locked into continued engagement—but most clients find ongoing support valuable for maintenance, enhancements, and new initiatives as they arise.

For standard projects, we provide test scripts for each sprint deliverable with documented test cases and expected results. You'll have a clear record of what was tested and how.

For mission-critical or regulated applications, we go further: full traceability matrices linking requirements to test cases, defect tracking logs, and formal test summary reports. Everything is audit-ready from day one.

Yes—this is a core competency for us. We develop complete IQ/OQ/PQ (Installation, Operational, and Performance Qualification) protocols tailored to your application and regulatory requirements.

We use a risk-based approach aligned with the FDA's Computer Software Assurance (CSA) guidance, focusing testing effort where it matters most based on patient safety and data integrity risk. This replaces the outdated "test everything equally" approach with smarter, more efficient validation.

The deliverables include validation plans, protocol documents with step-by-step test procedures, expected results, and sign-off sections. We also provide FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance mapping, HIPAA security controls documentation where applicable, and validation summary reports. These documents are designed to satisfy auditors and quality teams.

They're designed to work together. Well-structured Quickbase applications are the foundation for effective analytics. As we build or remediate your apps, we're thinking about reporting requirements and data architecture from the start.

When you're ready to add dashboards, Power BI integration, or AI-powered analytics, the transition is seamless because the underlying data model was designed with analytics in mind.

For month-to-month engagements, you can pause or end with 30 days notice. We'll ensure a clean handoff with documentation of work completed and any in-progress items.

For 6-month contracts, we can discuss pause provisions if circumstances change significantly. We're reasonable people—if something unexpected happens on your end, we'll work together to find a fair solution.
