In 1999, Joe Rice, Jim Salem, and Claude von Roesgen developed OneBase, a web-based multi-tenant service to enable consolidation and sharing of easily accessible business information.[5] In fall of 1999, Intuit added OneBase to its product portfolio, which includes QuickBooks and TurboTax.[5] In 2000, Intuit renamed OneBase and launched Quickbase, described at the time as a "web-based tool for sharing information that will revolutionize how small businesses and workgroups collaborate with employees, vendors and customers".[6]

In 2005, Quickbase was chosen as PC Magazine Editors' Choice.[7] The same year, Quickbase won the SIIA Codie Award for "Best Business Software Product or Service."[8] In 2015, Intuit announced plans to divest itself from Demandforce, Quickbase, and Quicken operations.[9] Quickbase won the SIIA CODiE Award for Best Real Estate/Construction Management Solution and finalist for Best Cloud Platform as a Service.[10][11][12]

In 2016, Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe completed its acquisition of Intuit Quickbase.[13]Vista Equity Partners purchased the majority equity in the company for more than $1B in January 2019. Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe remained a minority stakeholder.[14] In August, Quickbase bought Cloudpipes, which provides integration and automation tools for business applications through a cloud-based platform.[15]
