QBOS® Design Studio

Both users and developers can use the QBOS® Design Studio to create robust business tools ("applets") or full-bodied applications as they are needed.

Business solutions created with the QBOS® Design Studio automatically incorporate:

Fully Abstracted Data Management - If you can use a spreadsheet, then you already know more than you need to build powerful applications within QBOS. Bring your spreadsheets to life without programming and create real processes to manage data collection in a shared environment - accurately! Tables, indices, triggers and stored procedures are all created and managed for you (you don't even need to know what they are!).
Fully Abstracted Contextual Routing - QBOS automates all routing between Applets, records and documents based upon their relations to one-another. No more searching for documents, misplacing customer requests, losing track of a hot lead, or missing response deadlines.
Auto-Integration - Simply point two Design Studio applets at one-another and QBOS automatically integrates them. Create parent-child relationships to remove "noise" for your operators and reduce errors. Ensure that the appropriate information is presented at the right time - to the right person - and stored in the right place.
Auto-Document Management - On any Applet that you are designing in QBOS, simply check a box and that tool instantly has a complete document management system fully integrated. Associate any type of file with the Applet and QBOS will track and maintain the relationships to your records and the associated files and documents. The QBOS Document Management and Control System (DCMS) provides full version control, access control and audit trails. All document access attributes (user, date, time, etc) are recorded and archived for information security and audit purposes.
Life Cycle Processes and Workflow - QBOS has a complete BPMS engine that goes far beyond current business process management tools. QBOS understands that each business will perform work differently from "open to close" and each stage in between. QBOS EPS® gives you the power to customize each Life Cycle stage. Within any Applet that you are designing in QBOS, simply check a box and that tool instantly integrates the EPS® engine and allows you to render work in a Life Cycle relevant to your business. Change the software - not your business.
QBOS SmartForm Integration - Transform paper processes into QBOS Applets and bring them to life. Simply tell QBOS what information your paper form collects, design the Life Cycle, bind a process and the SmartForm user interface and SmartSearches are created for you - instantly. Become an eco-friendly workplace and get rid of your paper!
Reporting - Easily create user-aware reports driven by data collected from your tools. The QBOS Dashboard Reporting System renders real time information to manage work in progress with complete drill down and user collaboration features. QBOS user-aware reports enable you to take action before thresholds are exceeded.
Security - Automate user management and information access privileges by role, workgroup, or dynamically within a specific business process. QBOS is the next generation of web based software designed to meet the Information Security needs of modern business.
Portal Integration - Extend your Applets and associated business rules to your clients and business partners via our unique portal system without risk to compliance and much more...

Examples of applications built with the QBOS® Design Studio:

Bidding System - RFB's (Requests for Bids) are entered into the system by lenders upon which contractors bid. Both the RFBs and the bids may have associated documents attached. Once a bid is accepted, the contractor is notified and a purchase order is created and issued to a manufacturer. Upon work completion, an invoice is created and sent to the RFB submitter. Payment is received and processed into payments to the contractor, manufacturer and other associated vendors. The process from beginning to end is managed by a workflow generated by the QBOS system.
Investment Prospect Tracking System - Potential prospect companies for investment are entered into the system, whereupon a life cycle workflow self-initiates. The workflow drives the process of information gathering and due diligence, along with weighted valuation and management team assessment. Reports on how many prospects are in the pipeline and at what stages are available to staff and management.
Heavy Equipment Leasing - An inventory of crop harvesters is maintained. Inspection, registration, insurance, licensing, repairs, hardware parts, labor and contracts for usage are tracked, each with their own life cycle processes.
