Project Request Database Template

Centralize requests, manage attachments, and ditch the Excel chaos today.

Your Project Request database at a glance

Centralize incoming work for web, mobile, marketing, or design projects in a single, organized system using this clear structure.

Capture specific details like tech stack, budget, and deadlines using dedicated fields, ensuring you get the right information upfront.

Why managing project requests in Excel breaks down

Spreadsheets turn into a mess of broken formulas and hidden rows when you try to track complex project requirements across teams.

What a structured database changes

Unlike a flat sheet, a database keeps your data types strict—so a deadline is always a date, and a priority is always a defined selection. You do not have to worry about someone pasting a paragraph into a budget cell or breaking a VLOOKUP.

This is exactly what Softr Databases are designed for, keeping your data clean as you scale.

What you can do with this template

Instantly sort incoming work by "High" priority or filter by "Web Development" to allocate resources faster.

Attach design briefs and requirement docs directly to the project record without losing them in email threads or separate file folders.

Frequently asked questions

What is a project request database?

A project request database is a structured system for collecting, organizing, and prioritizing incoming work. It replaces scattered emails and forms by centralizing all requirements, deadlines, and attachments in one navigable view.
Why use a no-code database to build a request system?

No-code databases offer the structure of professional software without requiring engineering resources. You get data integrity, file storage, and relationship capabilities that spreadsheets lack, all while maintaining full autonomy to make changes yourself.
How can AI help managing data for project requests?

AI can automate the categorization of requests and summarize lengthy project descriptions. Database AI agents can run in the background to enrich records with external data or auto-assign priorities based on keywords.
Can I build an app with this project request database?

Yes, this database is designed to be the backend for a portal. You can build a front-end interface where requesters submit forms and track status, while managers use a private dashboard to approve and assign work.
Is this Project Request template free?

Yes, you can copy and use this template for free. Softr's free plan includes access to databases, and you can upgrade later if you need increased distinct record limits or advanced collaborators.
How is a project request database different from Excel?

Excel often suffers from version control issues, broken formulas, and difficulty in handling file attachments. A database enforces structure, prevents data corruption, and allows you to create specific views for different teams without duplicating data.
