DAB (Database Application Builder) is a configurable software product that allows users to build their own databases for managing business processes and entities. It removes the need for custom application development and the shortfalls of using spreadsheets by providing security, workflow capabilities, integration with other systems, and version control. The DAB module can support processes like lessons learned databases, project timelines, requests for deviation/waiver, and inventory management. It is compliant with several ECSS space industry standards and offers benefits like easy configuration, accessibility from any web browser, and integration with other modules in the ECLIPSE software.

What is DAB?
 In the specialised world of the space sector many business
processes or entities are still managed or recorded in
spreadsheets, this leads to lack of security, workflow, version
control and is limited in integration to other systems.
 With this in mind we have created a configurable software
product that allows users to build their own database with the
flexibility to manage processes and entities using existing
functionalities already available in the other ECLIPSE modules,
thus removing high development costs of building a bespoke
application.
