Hello Aerotabulators!

We are small online translation agency. At present, we use a Google Sheet to keep track of client orders/linguists whom projects are assigned to/delivery dates/status (not quoted/quoted/assigned to linguist/delivered).

This system starts to burst at the seams.

Question is: is Airtable the tool we need in order to create a simple project tracker?

We would like the new system to be dynamic (we can e.g. look up all jobs that are late or find all jobs that are completed so we can invoice). Ideally, this is something the team, which is all over the planet, could access.

If there was a way to create quotes in Airtable, email them to client with an “accept quote link” inside the email and a loop back to the Airtable database, we would probably cry with joy.

Only asking the Community before we dive in – your advice could save us a sharp learning curve.

Cheers!

Welcome to the community, @Jean-Louis_Eveque!

Yes, you could do much of this with Airtable’s native functionality, but you would need to add in some scripting and/or external tools to do what you listed in this paragraph:

p.s. If you have a budget for this project and you’d like to hire an expert Airtable consultant to help you create this, please feel free to contact me through my website at ScottWorld.com:
