October Qrew Meet Up Recap and November Announcement!
Hello Construction Qrew! Hope all is well. I wanted to give you a few updates and announcements regarding the construction Qrew that you’ll want to take note of for November 2024: On 10/22, the Construction Qrew Meet Up agenda focused on a post Empower Pro discussion. We shared on how to implement features, tools, and answered questions regarding updates announced at Empower Pro. Rob Salaj was there to ask how Construction Qrew members could use secure links. Some folks shared they could use secure links to share forms in the field while also sharing reports to their vendor partners and more. The added layer of security is a welcome addition to sharing information with confidence. Kaity Strong, Solutions Consultant, was on-hand to show folks how to enable secure links and helped to review and answer questions from the audience. In the end, most customers enjoyed Empower Pro and are still digesting all the information shared during this time. If you missed Empower Pro, you can check them on demand here.

Hello Construction Qrew! Thank you to all who were able to make the Construction Meet Up on Tuesday, September 17 th . Here’s a quick recap of what happened: Kaity Strong, Solutions Consultant, did a walk-through of the CRM Bid Management APP (available in the Exchange) and hosted a customer Q & A on it. One of the features within the CRM Bid Management App she highlighted was the Bid Ranking tool which helps to determine level of importance and likelihood of winning the contract bids. The audience loved that feature! She also helped answer questions on how to deal with connecting contacts tables to multiple bids, and the pros and cons of scaling Quickbase apps vertically vs. horizontally with on-the-fly mockups in Lucid chart. We loved the questions and feedback from the audience! To check out the session, you can click the recording hereand type in the password: k&^7*VB+ Our next meetup will be on Tuesday October 22 nd .
