Case Study: Green Standards achieves 30–40% year-over-year growth and unified operations with Quickbase

Green Standards Achieves Global Growth and Keeps Teams United with Quickbase

Green Standards is a Canada-based environmental firm (founded 2009) that helps organizations in the US and Canada recycle, resell, and donate surplus office furniture—working with over 25% of Fortune 100 companies and diverting more than 75,000 tons from landfills. Rapid growth exposed limits in their reliance on spreadsheets, Google Docs, and an internal server: operations were manual, data integrity and forecasting were poor, and they lacked a true CRM and project-management capabilities.

The company implemented Quickbase—starting with sales CRM and expanding to apps for lead tracking, operations, vendor coordination (managing ~150 vendors), bidding, and project accounting (integrated with QuickBooks). Self-taught Quickbase builder and CEO Richard Beaumont led deployment across departments, creating a centralized, automated database that improved forecasting, reduced costs, unified teams, and drove consistent 30–40% year-over-year growth.
