Challenge
Socialyte experienced an average of 40% growth each year, however the systems they had in place were not moving at a super-fast pace. They were using Google Docs to run their entire business. Their reports lacked detail, which made it difficult for them to get an idea of how their business was actually doing.
After looking at their competitors and seeing what systems they were using, nothing made sense. Because they are in such a niche market, it was very difficult to find a system that would work for them. After a long time of looking, Socialyte came across Quickbase, which met all of the criteria they were looking for and more; it was cloud-based, easy to use, and you could import from Google Docs. The only problem was that they didn’t really see how they could get the system to the level they needed it to be.
