Internal tools your business can start building with no-code

Leverage Airtable, and create various tables to store data pertinent to your intranet systems, like Employee Details, Company News, Resources, and Team Collaboration.

You should aim at having the following key features in your intranet system:

• Employee Directory: Use the Employee Details table to create a directory with fields like name, department, role, contact information, and more.
• Company News and Updates: Use the Company News table to share important updates, and use Airtable automation to alert users via email when new updates are posted.
• Resource Library: The Resources table can be a place to store and categorize helpful documents, links, and tools.
• Team Collaboration: Teams can collaborate on projects and track progress using Softr’s Kanban blocks. Softr is a no-code tool that can help create a friendly and intuitive web interface that syncs with your Airtable base

Using Softr you can add features like a search function for the employee directory, a news feed for company updates, a document library, and a project dashboard. Integrate your intranet with existing systems, such as HR or project management tools, using no-code platforms like Zapier or Make.

Incident Tracker (Bug Tracker)

Building an incident tracking system using no-code platforms can be a cost-effective and efficient solution, especially for businesses and teams without extensive programming resources. Here’s how you can build it using No Code:

1. Incident Logging: With the no-code platform, you can create a simple form that captures all the required details of an incident. You can set up fields for date and time, descriptions, involved parties, and other custom categories that make sense for your organization. These platforms often allow you to set mandatory fields to ensure that all necessary data is captured.
2. Incident Classification: You can set up drop-down lists or multiple-choice options in your form to classify incidents according to their type, priority, and impact. This can be used to trigger workflows and automation based on the classification.
3. Incident Assignment: No-code platforms often have user management and role-based access control features. You can create roles for different teams or members and then assign incidents based on these roles. This could be done manually, or you could set up automated rules based on incident classification.
4. Incident Tracking: You can create a dashboard that shows the status of all incidents. Each incident can be updated manually or automatically based on actions taken. No-code platforms allow you to create various views based on user roles, incident status, etc.
5. Communication and Collaboration: No-code platforms often support the addition of communication and collaboration features. You can add comment sections to each incident, enable file sharing, and integrate with existing communication tools like Slack or Microsoft Teams.
6. Reporting and Analytics: Most no-code platforms have built-in reporting and analytics tools. You can create custom reports and dashboards that help you analyze the performance of your incident management process. This might include reports on resolution times, common incident types, team performance, etc.

Lightweight CRM

Creating a bespoke CRM that precisely fits your company's sales process is a breeze with no-code builders like Softr using Airtable or Google Sheets as a database. You can customize the data fields, sales stages, and more. Automation becomes easy when you introduce workflows that, for instance, trigger a series of actions when a lead moves to a different stage in the sales funnel.

Here is a concise guide on how you can start thinking about it:

Firstly, understand your CRM requirements. These could include contact management, deal tracking, task/event management, email integration, reporting, and mobile access.

Next, choose a suitable no-code platform that matches your needs and budget. These platforms use a visual, drag-and-drop interface to create UI, manage data, and automate workflows.
