What Teams Build with NocoDB
Six proven use cases where NocoDB replaces expensive SaaS tools with a self-hosted database you fully control.
Team Project & Task Tracker
Replace expensive Airtable bases with Kanban, Grid, and Gallery views for tracking projects and tasks. Assign owners, set deadlines, attach files, and filter views per team — all backed by a real relational database with auto-generated APIs.
- Replace Airtable without losing familiar spreadsheet UX
- Unlimited records and bases with no per-seat pricing
- Auto-generated REST APIs connect to your other tools
Sales Pipeline & Deal Tracking
Build a customized sales pipeline with relational data linking contacts to companies and deals. Create filtered views per rep, form-based lead intake pages, and automated webhooks that notify your team when deals move stages.
- Customize pipeline stages to match your sales process
- Form views let leads submit directly into your pipeline
- Webhook integrations keep your team notified in real time
Product Catalog & Inventory Management
Manage SKUs, product attributes, pricing tiers, and stock levels in a spreadsheet-like interface backed by PostgreSQL or MySQL. Generate REST APIs that feed your storefront, and give non-technical team members a familiar editing experience.
- Non-technical staff manage products in a spreadsheet UI
- Real database backend ensures data integrity at scale
- API-first design feeds data to your website and apps
Content Calendar & Campaign Planning
Create shared editorial calendars with kanban workflows for draft/review/published stages. Link campaigns to assets, track deadlines, and give stakeholders filtered read-only views without exposing your full content database.
- Kanban boards visualize your content pipeline
- Role-based sharing gives stakeholders exactly the access they need
- Link related records across campaigns and assets
Applicant Tracking System
Build a lightweight ATS with form-based job applications that flow into pipeline views. Track candidates through screening, interview, and offer stages with interviewer scorecards. Role-based access keeps salary and feedback data private.
- Form views create branded application pages
- Pipeline tracking from application to offer letter
- Granular permissions protect sensitive candidate data
Vendor & Contract Management
Track vendor contacts, contract terms, renewal dates, and compliance documents in one relational base. Set up webhook-based reminders for upcoming renewals and use gallery views to browse vendor profiles with key documents attached.
- Never miss a contract renewal with automated reminders
- Gallery views give a visual overview of all vendors
- Attach and organize compliance documents per vendor
