Building Culture Where
Your Employees Are

Here’s a novel idea: have conversations about the work happening in the same place where the actual work is being done. Mind. Blown. 

We know culture isn’t just a physical thing anymore - it’s a where you are kind of thing. With SmartSuite, you don’t have to force or train collaboration. It’s a natural extension of the software. Culture happens when Stoyan from Serbia and Sarah from Sacramento can seamlessly connect and collaborate.

Where the Work Happens

Start and continue conversations in records to discuss content right where the work is happening - no tab switching, logging in, alt-tabbing, or other toggling required. We’re sorry to all the tab collectors out there, but 20+ open is just too dang many.

Keep Your Team
Focused

Use @mentions to give a teammate a little friendly nudge or bring them into a collaborative discussion. It's also great for bringing them into a discussion or simply drawing attention to important work. You can also shout out team members the same way. Everyone deserves a for a job well done! 

Every @mentions appears in the members' Notification Center so it's easy to stay up-to-date.

Team Progress

The Activity History feature provides a real-time stream of the work being done within your account. Team members are able to view activity streams for specific processes or projects to understand what work items are being updated and the date and time of the updates.
