Cool Tech Tools: Airtable

When it comes to running a successful business, how important is it to be organized? Very. 


How would you rank your organization skills? Honestly, the answer doesn’t matter. Technology can always help us get organized, and this is where Airtable comes in. 


Airtable goes beyond spreadsheet solutions when it comes to tracking teams, projects, tasks, dates, and other information for your business. Cloud-based, Airtable allows you to organize information in a database of tables called ‘bases.’ While databases can be complicated, Airtable makes them easy because they look just like spreadsheets. 


Airtable allows users to create a flexible database that fits their particular needs. Some of the use cases include project tracking, product development, event management, team collaboration, lists, planning, pipeline management, calendars, and so much more. Templates are also available to jump-start your project.   


Because Airtable is like a spreadsheet, it has been compared to Microsoft Excel. However, it’s important to remember that Airtable is like a spreadsheet and a database. Excel only functions as a traditional spreadsheet, while Airtable gives users more options, especially when it comes to customization. 


In Airtable, fields can even be added for attachments, long-text notes, checkboxes, links, and barcodes. It provides options for filtering, sorting, and grouping data. 


Airtable also integrates with other applications in case you need to move information from one place to another or add functionality. 


One other great thing about Airtable is that it has both free and paid plans. You can find out more here: airtable.com

We know, because we have spent over a decade doing exactly that. Our firm has been fully remote since 2012.  That means we have tested, rejected, and adopted these tools inside real client work. Here is the stack we trust, so you can skip the guessing. You will notice we left AI off this list. We use it where it helps, but that is a topic for another day.

By Alisa McCabe • July 20, 2026
For consulting firms, project profitability represents the critical margin between engagement revenue and the actual cost of delivery.

To assist in this process, this guide introduces a practical framework: the Project Profitability Scorecard.
