Introduction

Modern technologies make it easier for businesses to save time by reducing manual work and automating everyday tasks. Cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI) technology are built into platforms that automate routine, everyday processes, and significantly increase productivity. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that do not leverage productivity tools risk slower workflows and less efficient use of their teams’ time.

What is a Productivity Platform?

A productivity platform is a digital software system designed to help individuals and teams produce, organise, communicate, and manage tasks with less time and rework. It centralises tools that would otherwise be scattered across multiple apps.

Productivity platforms for SMEs are critical to improving business performance. Before you integrate a tool into your business, you need to ensure you choose the right one. One of the best platforms for workflow automation is Airtable.

What is Airtable?

Airtable is a cloud-based software platform that combines the easy look of a spreadsheet with the strong power of a database. You can use it to store information, link data together, track projects, and build custom work tools without coding.

What Does Airtable Offer SMEs?

For SMEs, Airtable offers a powerful, no-code digital operations platform that combines the user-friendly interface of a spreadsheet with the structural integrity of a relational database. The platform allows lean teams to build custom business applications without the expense of hiring dedicated software developers.

FAQs

Airtable plans are charged per seat. If you are on Airtable’s Free plan, all users are free. If you are on a Team or Business plan, you will be charged for all users who have edit permissions for at least one base in the workspace. No charges will apply on a Team or Business plan for read-only collaborators, form submissions, or shared links.

All payments are made via credit card for Team and Business workspaces if purchased through your workspace settings tab. For Business and Enterprise Scale accounts purchased through the sales team, we can issue an annual invoice with payment via PO and/or ACH, wire, or cheque.

If you reach (or exceed) the record or attachment limits, you’ll still be able to use your bases, and Airtable will never remove your data. The platform will notify you of the overage, and you will not be able to add more records or attachments until you upgrade to a new plan. For automations and API limits, you will be capped at the usage limit on your current plan.

Airtable has a free plan available that provides the key building blocks to help you build applications. The Free plan is formulated for individual users, tiny teams, or those with lightweight needs. The Team Plan has a free trial.
