Since merging Chilli Consulting into agileBase Ltd to form agileChilli, we’ve been very busy taking on new customers and developing our ‘NPD Tech’ software on the agileBase cloud platform. This allows ‘innovation with compliance’ in New Product Development processes for the food industry. We’re now expanding to support our growing customer base in all areas and speed up our…

Every once in a while, usually every couple of years, we upgrade our servers / infrastructure, to ensure we’re getting the most out of the most recent advances in the underlying database and supporting software. This is in addition to regular minor updates and security patches, which have no impact on availability. On Saturday 14th…

This is big news for those who use Slack, ‘team communication for the 21st century‘ – or want to. We’re testing out an integration of Slack with the agileBase platform. That means that agileBase sends notifications through to your team’s Slack app – people can then of course customise the alerts they receive, using emails, Slack’s…

Our Google Calendar integration has proved popular with companies who use Google Apps across their entire company.

Carrying on the theme of improving the administrator experience for agileBase (see previous post), we’ve made some usability improvements to the calculation editor in agileBase, a very powerful feature that lets you use any SQL functions in your views and reports. The editor screen now shows a list of available fields to use in calculations,…

agileBase has a new type of view for the calendar – a timeline! One thing that some of our food production and other manufacturing customers have been asking for is a tool to make scheduling and planning production easier. So we’ve added a plugin that does just that. It’s a grid view that looks a bit like…

During most of agileBase’s life so far the focus has been on making the user interface fast, friendly and flexible. Over the past couple of years we’ve been getting a real feeling from customers that we’ve cracked it, which we’re really pleased with. Now, we’re concentrating on making life easier for developers who want to integrate agileBase…

We can announce that we’ve upgraded our workflow engine so that the administrator of agileBase can see a lot more of what’s going on behind the scenes, which is seful either just to double check that everything’s working smoothly, or to troubleshoot when you think there may be setup errors. The main features of the…
