Ask HN: What does everyone like for all-purpose business process apps?
Title mostly says it all. I'm looking to use an integrated tool to step up a bunch of business process tracking and automation for a company of 20 people, probably growing to around 30-40 in the coming year.
Is Airtable good for this? Monday.com?
- LunarAurora 4y agoIf you are looking for "generic" workflows (HR, CRM..) plus "work management" (projects, collaboration...), then Monday is indeed the popular all-in-one solution. If you want to augment it with more "specific" internal data-based tools, look at low-code platforms like retool [1]. They are used to build custom business processes on top of Airtable or any DB. Otherwise, A favourite of mine is https://fibery.io/ https://fibery.io/. It is a fresh take on modular business software. Or you can go the classic OSS ERP route. https://www.odoo.com/ https://www.odoo.com/ maybe? [1] https://uibakery.io/retool-alternatives https://uibakery.io/retool-alternatives
- 2143 4y agoFrom my current employer I discovered that you can get surprisingly high mileage with spreadsheets and a little bit of scripting. My employer uses Google Sheets with app scripts [1]. It automatically reads emails, updates a bunch of spreadsheets, makes other API calls, creates entire report documents etc. The initial setup might take a while though.
