Back office systems created with Bubble?

Our technology manufacturing company currently runs its operations through a very elegant, but complex Google Sheets workbook.

The types of activities include:

  • Sales (forecasting & tracking) (thought about adding our quote process to this as well)
  • Order entry (orders, customer info)
  • Production (planning & tracking)
  • Shipping (planning & tracking)

We’ve thought about migrating this to a low-code / no-code platform like Bubble, and develop task-based interfaces to get away from a spreadsheet look and feel (Ex: Form where you schedule shipments from).

Does anyone have any examples of having done this in Bubble that they can share?

Thanks,
Chip

A hybrid system might also be an option to consider. Google Sheets (and G Suite more generally) has a very robust and flexible API, so it might be worthwhile to implement in Bubble only what makes sense from the UX / workflow perspective. One of Bubble’s strengths is its REST API integration capabilities.

@sudsy - that’s a really neat idea.

Love that:

  • the info can still reside in sheets allowing for pretty deep manipulation, export and reporting.
  • Use bubble for interface (and frankly, if gets deprecated, not bound into an implicit data structure that makes it difficult to migrate to the next platform)

Thanks! Excited to see what you come up with!

You can use Integromat or Parabola to make post request to Bubble API endpoints when your data changes.

This way you can keep the bubble data clean and save a lot of time on building the rest api connection.

Do you have any examples to share where you use Bubble as the interface to the google sheets?

No, but I’ve worked with the Google Sheets API enough to understand the potential with Bubble. That said, as @nocodeventure mentioned, there are also lots of third-party services that could make working with sheets even easier (sheetsu, sheetson, etc.) Just search the forum for “Google Sheets” and you’ll get a ton of info.
