Zite helps you build business systems: apps, databases, and automations that work together. Describe what your team needs, try what Zite builds, and ask for changes in plain language. You can build a CRM to manage sales, a portal for clients to track their projects, or an applicant tracker for your hiring team. Your apps can work with the same data, so your team and your customers each have a useful way to view and update it. If you are moving from legacy systems or using tools from several vendors, you can migrate to Zite to bring your data, apps, and automations into one connected business system. Rebuild the processes your team relies on, and connect the tools you still need.

​
Choose where to start

If you have an app in mind, start with Create an app. If you’d like a working example to customize, browse the Marketplace.
Create an app

Describe who the app is for and what they need to do.

Start with your data

Import the information you already have, then build an app around it.

Explore the marketplace

Start with a ready-made solution and customize your own copy.

​
How your workspace fits together

A workspace is the home for your business system. It brings together your database, apps, forms, automations, uploaded files, and the people who use them. For example, a hiring workspace could have:
  • A database that stores your jobs and candidates.
  • An app for your team to review candidates and track interviews.
  • A form for applicants to submit their details.
  • An automation to send a reminder before an interview.
  • Files such as CVs uploaded through the application form.
You can add more apps and forms to the same workspace as you need them. You don’t need a separate workspace for every app.
Six cards for internal apps, external apps, automations, forms, files, and users sit above one shared database in a workspace.
Open Overview for a summary of your workspace. Use the sidebar to switch between Apps, Automations, Forms, and Database, or open Users to manage access. Integrations and Settings are near the bottom of the sidebar. Files is marked Coming soon in the sidebar. Organization admins can open it where enabled to browse files uploaded to the workspace’s database, forms, and apps. For example, you can find the CVs applicants have submitted in one place.
If you already keep your data in another tool, you can connect an integration instead of importing a copy into Zite. For example, you can build an app that works with your existing Airtable data.

​
Describe a useful first version

Start with one task you want to make easier. Tell Zite who will use the system, what information they need, and what they should be able to do. For example:
Build a CRM for our sales team. We need to track companies, contacts, and deals. Show deals by stage, let us assign an owner, and keep a next follow-up date for each deal.
Try the first version, then ask for specific changes, such as “Add a filter for deals assigned to me.” You can keep refining the system as you use it. If you want someone to build or extend an app for you, hire a Zite Partner.

​
Decide who will use your app

An app for your team and a portal for your clients need different access settings. Before sharing, decide who should be able to open the app and what information they should see or change. Test the main tasks, such as submitting a form or updating a customer, and check the app’s access settings. Follow the app access guide when you’re ready to share it.
