Quickbase acquires Solvice

Acquisition to integrate Solvice’s route optimization and workforce scheduling capabilities into Quickbase’s core product offerings

Quickbase today announced that it has acquired Solvice, a provider of APIs for route optimization and workforce scheduling. The acquisition aims to strengthen Quickbase’s native resource management capabilities with decision intelligence across field service, logistics and enterprise operations, helping translate real-world complexity into an actionable plan, and make trade-offs transparent so teams can steer the outcome.  

Solvice is known for its OnRoute API for constraint-based vehicle routing and OnShift API for automated workforce scheduling and shift generation. These advanced algorithms make it possible for organizations to generate workforce schedules that account for real-world constraints and automatically re-optimize routes when disruptions occur.   

"At Solvice, we tackle the most complex operational puzzles: routing and scheduling,” said Christophe Van Huele, Founder of Solvice. “We turn deep optimization expertise into solutions that work in the real world, not just in theory. Joining Quickbase will allow us to scale that impact globally and bring powerful decision intelligence to thousands of organizations navigating operational complexity every day.”  

Today’s operations professionals need the ability to surface smart planning decisions, and account for real-world constraints like time windows, labor rules, capacity limits, worker skills, and real-time changes.  Solvice’s APIs extend beyond traditional routing and scheduling tools, calculating the best operational plan, not just the fastest route or next available shift. Solvice factors in variables like vehicle capacity, skills, workload balancing, compliance requirements, service-level agreements, multi-day planning, and real-time changes across fleets and workforces to reduce time on the road by up to 35%. 

“Quickbase has always been dedicated to helping our customers digitize and automate their complex and mission critical workflows,” said Matthew Person, SVP, Corporate Development of Quickbase. “The combination of Quickbase's 27 years of product depth and experience and Solvice’s intelligent APIs will help our customers move away from ‘just managing work’ and toward intelligently planning and executing it.”  

Initial integration efforts, planned for the second half of 2026, will focus on embedding OnRoute capabilities into FastField Pro and OnShift capabilities into Quickbase Business and Quickbase Enterprise. In the meantime, Solvice’s APIs will continue to be available.
