Intuit’s FreeCycle@Work on the QuickBase Platform
On April 21, Intuit announced a new free corporate sustainability tool called FreeCycle@Work. FreeCycle@Work is targetted towards business who want to offer its employees the features of the wildly popular communtiy-based Freecycle.org, but with the advantages of having a centralized online database for just their company.
Working closely with Sr. QuickBase Marketing Manager Gregory Collins and the QuickBase Product Development team, I stepped into to help make the idea a reality but driving the development of this wonderful idea into an actual working product.
Over the course of about three weeks, this small team scoped, designed, and built the FreeCycle@Work marketing website, user registration and customized QuickBase applications using only available API’s.
In two short months, FreeCycle@Work now has over 500 registered businesses and thousands of users.
