Case Study: Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities achieves $500K annual savings with Quickbase

How the Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities Saved $500K Annually with Quickbase

The Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities (TCDD) was struggling with slow, manual grant-management workflows, an outdated 20+ year-old Access database, and disconnected tools that created errors, delays, and missed deadlines. Using Quickbase, TCDD had to go back and forth with grantees on 30- to 70-page grant packets, while staff spent excessive time tracking down information and correcting inconsistencies.

Quickbase helped TCDD digitize and centralize all documentation in one system, automate checks for accuracy, and provide 24/7 access to reports, deadlines, funding, and balances. With Quickbase, the team saved about $500,000 annually in burden hours, reduced workweeks from 60-70 hours to 40, improved accuracy, and doubled productivity through a more streamlined application process.
