Protogrid

Create tailor-made apps to organize your data

Tuesday, February 9, 2016

Protogrid is a new way for business users to add, retrieve, store, and share information both in the office and on the go. Using Protogrid, an affordable easy-to-use database application platform based in the cloud, non-developers can quickly build their own custom apps that transform data raw data into an organized solution. From contacts, customers, sales, inventory, and to-do lists to documents, activities, and analytics data, any kind of information can be managed safely and consistently within a Protogrid application that is perfectly tailored to an organization’s particular needs and workflows. Protogrid takes the grunt work out of making applications for the web as well as for mobile phones and devices by offering an environment in which an app can be built without digging into code. Instead, users simply define the data fields they want to keep track of. Protogrid then intelligently creates the supporting forms and views of the app. These fields can be modified or added to any time, and already existing data can be imported as a CSV file from Microsoft Excel and most other available database systems. If an organization wishes to make their custom application available through the AppStore, Protogrid generates an independent native mobile application with the click of a button. As Protogrid is cloud-based and fully-managed by the Protogrid team, the on-premises costs and infrastructural requirements that enterprise users would otherwise have are also dramatically reduced. Should no internet access be available, Protogrid’s offline capabilities allow the user to continue working without disruption. Any modified files are synchronized automatically whenever an internet connection is available, providing mobile workers with access to up-to-date, critical information nearly anywhere. The Protogrid client for iOS is already available, and clients for Android and desktop computers will be coming in 2016. The web app is already fully responsive and can be used on all modern devices. Protogrid can support organizations of all sizes, from individual users or single departments to entire corporations. An employee can make apps within Protogrid without writing a single line of code, but for advanced users, Protogrid’s backend functionality can be expanded using Javascript. In addition, automatic multi-language support for all apps makes Protogrid perfect for teams that transcend borders.
