Airtable Agency was born out of a desire to help businesses and their development teams automate their workflows and improve their productivity using Airtable as a solution. Airtable enables a streamlining of business processes, as airtable solutions allow businesses to automate simple tasks such as data collection and data entry,

The entire agency has been around for almost two years now, and in that time we've helped hundreds of businesses streamline their operations and work smarter. We use Airtable on most projects but we soon realized that there are many other tools out there that can help businesses with automating tasks. That's why we've changed our name to ACE Workflow – because we want to be the go-to company for business workflow automation, as an airtable consultant and beyond.

In this article, we'll describe the reasons behind our name change and what we're planning to do in the future.

About Airtable

Airtable provides a platform where businesses can store all their data in one place, so they don't need to flip between multiple external databases. This makes it easy for businesses to keep track of their data and to make changes to it quickly and easily. Airtable also allows businesses to automate workflows and simplify repetitive tasks, saving them time and money.

Our team works primarily on two types of projects:

1) Productize company operations

If you think about any software app on your computer or phone, it works for you - from ride-share apps like Uber to messaging apps like WhatsApp. They are designed to help you complete repeatable tasks, and each app makes it easy for you to complete that specific task.

Our goal is to productize your internal workflows in the same way by creating an all-in-one perfect solution. Automating processes makes it easier for businesses to complete day-to-day tasks through workflow automation and improving their productivity. We want to provide tools that are easy to use and that can help business users streamline their operations, their customers, their hr processes, their invoicing and their development pace.

These are common problems that we hear from clients

  • "I have to copy and paste information from one app to another, it's very time consuming and mistakes often happen"
  • "Our project managers have to manually look-up list information for an order or client which is another system or series of spreadsheets, this takes a lot of time"
  • "Our marketing department has their database, which we cannot access meaning we are not able to share the right information or tasks"
  • "It takes us a lot of time to close a deal with potential customers because there's a lot of back and forth on email to complete basic tasks"
  • "Our talent managers are having to spend hours managing the pipeline of staff talent interviews and sourcing"

Simply put; your team collaboration relies on data and these processes need focus and automating. Any time you or your team are held back because of repetitive tasks and data they are not being efficient - using modern software platforms we can create apps that serve as a solution for your business operations.

We have built custom workflow automation systems for a wide range of companies including:

  • Manufacturing companies - building custom ERP systems at a fraction of the cost and time, managing thousands of manufacturing SOPS and records
  • Creative & Public Relations Agencies - helping to manage new projects and creative resources as well as their digital marketing workflow with less effort
  • VC Firms - creating processes to manage their investments, deal memos, their network, and pipeline
  • Influencer Agencies - keeping a real-time database of represented talent,  managing projects, tracking social media, and syncing with digital agency partners
  • Startups - development of a wide range of workflows, sales, management systems, and MVPs for their technical resources and customer experience

One of the advantages of using Airtable as a no-code platform is that it's easy to integrate with other software platforms. This makes it easy for businesses and project managers to automate their workflows and improve their productivity, whether they have large or small teams. And since we're not building new software it takes days instead of months, and there's zero downtime or maintenance services required. You can start pursuing business goals through automated workflow apps with no time wasted.

We believe that no-code software is a powerful tool that will be essential for any organization looking to improve their productivity and efficiency when it comes to daily tasks. These tools manage data to make tasks Stay tuned for more updates on this digital transformation towards automated workflows!

2) Creation of a custom MVP (Minimum Viable Product) to Automate Workflows

When creating a new product or service there are a lot of unknowns and more questions than answers. We help companies and their development team figure out how their workflow will work by quickly building MVP apps using no-code tools, a new way to run the development process.

Customers say that the short amount of time to create an MVP for workflow automation was instrumental in helping their business figure out how the company's workflow, databases and systems should work.

As airtable consultants, and guides to no-code workflow automation through other software, we empower companies to get up and running quickly, solving problems clients didn't know existed, creating tools and helping the development team to build the actual application quicker.

These MVPs usually take 2-3 weeks to build and have a 12-18 month shelf life because the startup wants to re-build the software themselves.

Future plans

We are expanding our full-time team and welcome Sally to our team. Based in Toronto she will be consulting on our bespoke workflow builds as well as building out our team of No-code builders (if you're interested please apply here).

We're rapidly expanding our template selection - expect to see a large range of templates both free and paid to help you complete everyday tasks quickly, from complex automations to workflow analysis tools. We also plan to release a selection of custom apps, app development, and digital products to aid in assigning tasks and simplifying internal processes. In addition look out for training and skill development for your team, so they can create tools that streamline their daily workflow process.

Finally, we're beyond excited to announce that we're included in the Airtable consulting program pilot - providing further reassurance on workflow automation solutions.

We're airtable experts and a leading no-code company, this space is so exciting. We believe that we're now in a shift in how business management software will be created. It's now simpler, easier, and faster to build software using existing platforms than ever before, and the process includes cost savings. I can not wait to see what happens next with airtable solutions and custom apps to automate workflows and meet business goals, helping companies scale faster.
