In the busy workdays, accurate and swift information management is indispensable.
Especially, managing updates and additions of product information is a crucial factor that affects customer satisfaction.
However, manual data entry and management often consume a significant amount of time and effort.
Therefore, this time, we introduce a method to smoothly automate the addition of product information by combining Airtable and BASE.
This automation is expected to improve work efficiency by reducing manual input.
Additionally, it can prevent human errors and maintain the provision of accurate product information.

In this article, we will explain not only the specific flow and its benefits but also the integration method that can be set up without coding.
Please give it a try.

Benefits of Integrating Airtable and BASE

Benefit 1: Improved Data Consistency

By automatically reflecting product information managed in Airtable to BASE, it prevents errors of double entry and data discrepancies.
This allows customers to make purchases based on accurate product information, which can also lead to increased trust in the company.
For example, when the sales department launches a new product sales campaign, managing the latest price information and promotion details in Airtable and automatically reflecting them in BASE can improve the accuracy of online store prices and campaign information.
Customers can make purchases based on accurate information, which is expected to prevent issues such as incorrect price displays or campaign content.

Benefit 2: Reduction of Work Time

Since the time spent manually adding or updating products is saved, staff can secure time to focus on other important tasks.
Especially when there are many products, it can significantly reduce work time and is expected to lead to efficient operations.
For example, the product management department can reduce the hassle of manually registering products from Airtable to BASE, and it can also prevent errors from manual work.
Therefore, staff in the product management department can focus on more important tasks such as inventory checks and quality control, which is expected to improve overall productivity.

The person who wrote this article
r.suzuki
I came across Yoom when I was searching for ways to improve work efficiency on a daily basis at a small and medium-sized enterprise in a region where human resources are limited. I was casually thinking that it would be nice if this were the case, and by introducing Yoom, we can make it so much more efficient! I'm moved. Even though I have no knowledge or experience with systems or programming, my work has changed drastically, so I'm writing that I hope I can share it with many people who feel the same way.
