At Optimize IS, we partner with clients to build customized business processes using Airtable. Our approach begins with comprehensive team meetings to understand your entire process and its goals. We believe in establishing a clear vision before writing a single line of code, ensuring that the final solution perfectly aligns with your business needs.

Our Development Framework:
The R.E.S.O.L.V.E. Model

We follow the unique R.E.S.O.L.V.E. framework for Airtable system design, a proven, step-by-step methodology to create aligned, scalable Airtable solutions built for growth. This framework helps us design custom Airtable apps and workflows with precision, avoiding common pitfalls while optimizing data management and user experience.

R.E.S.O.L.V.E

The R.E.S.O.L.V.E. Development Model drives every Airtable project we deliver. This structured approach guarantees comprehensive coverage of all critical aspects, ensuring your Airtable solution is future-proof, user-friendly, and highly efficient.

By mapping your workflows with tools like Lucidchart process diagrams, we save clients countless hours of manual work, following our KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) Airtable development methodology. This approach prioritizes simplicity, performance, and maintainability across all custom Airtable systems.

Research & Analysis of Shared Information

Our first phase focuses on deep business process analysis and requirements gathering. We identify your Airtable system goals, key stakeholders, and clarify project scope to build a solid foundation. This ensures that your custom Airtable solution targets the right pain points and delivers measurable improvements from day one.

Establish Process Model

We develop detailed business process models to visualize workflows, data flows, and system interactions. This critical step helps define process boundaries, dependencies, and automation opportunities within your Airtable environment. Visual process mapping fosters alignment between your team and ours, reducing risks before development begins.

Establish Process Model

Structure Logical Data Model

Our experts design an abstract logical data model using UML techniques to outline the relationships between data entities. This model becomes the blueprint for your Airtable base architecture, ensuring data integrity, normalization, and scalability for your complex workflows.

Organize Physical/Table Model

Based on the logical data structure, we craft the physical Airtable base by defining tables, fields, linked records, and indexing strategies. Our database design optimizes Airtable performance, reduces redundancy, and supports automation triggers and integration endpoints seamlessly.
We also specialize in seamless data migration services to ensure your existing business data is accurately imported into your new Airtable system without disruption. Our expert team manages the entire migration process—including data cleansing, transformation, and validation—to guarantee a smooth transition while preserving data integrity and consistency.

Layout Front End UI/UX

We create user-centric Airtable interfaces and forms, focusing on ease of use, accessibility, and data validation rules. Early wireframes showcase how your team will interact with the Airtable system, ensuring user adoption and minimizing training time.

Validate Reports

Our team develops custom Airtable dashboards and reports, designed to deliver actionable insights from your data. We configure real-time reporting, automated notifications, and KPIs tracking to help you make data-driven decisions confidently.

Execute

We finalize by implementing, testing, and deploying your tailored Airtable solution. Comprehensive user training, performance monitoring, and ongoing maintenance support ensure your system stays optimized as your business grows. Optimize IS remains your trusted partner for continuous Airtable workflow enhancements and automation scaling.
