Database

Beacon and Airtable

Airtable is a flexible database and spreadsheet platform that teams use to keep purchase orders, supplier lists and shipment trackers in one structured place. Teams can bring those Airtable records into Beacon so ETAs and exceptions appear next to the orders and suppliers they relate to.
