• Are they measurable?

• Is it possible to improve ROI into the double digits?

• What about cost savings?

We like to think Smartsheet enables organizations to not only work more productively and collaboratively, but also realize true ROI and savings. Sure, we’re a little biased, so we wanted to get some 3rd party validation, commissioning the analyst firm Forrester Consulting to talk to our customers, dig in and do some research, and find out what measurable benefits our customers receive.The result? A comprehensive study entitled…

“The Forrester Total Economic Impact of Smartsheet”

1,437% Increase in ROI? [It’s True!]

In the study, Forrester conducted interviews with our enterprise customers across industry verticals such as real estate, education, and technology. The study found that our customers –  using Smartsheet – were better able to streamline and standardize processes and boost productivity, ultimately leading to shorter sales cycles, bigger deals and increased revenue.

Among other anecdotal findings, Forrester found the following benefits of using Smartsheet:

• 1,437% increase in full ROI

• 25% increase in team productivity

• 21% increase in project manager productivity

• $200,000 in savings due to 3% reduction in errors

Using Smartsheet does bring some powerful, measurable benefits to our customers. (Now we don’t feel as biased anymore!)

“Excellent product, very well explained – I can see how Smartsheet will improve my work processes”, “This is one of the most useful courses I have attended”.

What are clients looking to achieve?

The sort of managers that attend these Discovery Days are looking for work management tools and solutions that will give them a clearer view of their planning and help them to better communicate those plans to their teams.

What tends to be their current planning tool of choice?

Most often it’s spreadsheets, but using static spreadsheets doesn’t allow teams to collaborate in real time and lots of time is wasted in unnecessarily repetitive activities.

What is the main attraction to Smartsheet?

The fact that it has a familiar spreadsheet interface makes users feel comfortable, then they start collaborating and Smartsheet takes them as far as their imagination allows: Assigning tasks, attaching files, sharing sheets, viewing timelines, setting alerts, creating web forms, going mobile.

What are your Smartsheeters using these very Smartsheets for?

• Health and Safety management, incident management out on site
• Recruitment & HR – on boarding
• Estate management, premises maintenance,
• Managing construction and engineering projects
• Stock control, parts requests
• Budget discussions
• Quotations, estimates,
• Real time progress reports, conveyancers progressing client purchases
• Logistics breakdown and repair App
• SmartStats and SmartGraphs

We are currently helping teams in the NHS to implement these solutions across several departments and they are finding the time saved by these smarter business processes is huge.

Tell us a little more about the Discovery and Optimisation Days

After a demonstration of Smartsheet’s capabilities, light bulbs tend to start popping with delegates saying things like;

“As the training progressed, I found more and more uses for Smartsheet.”

With hands on practice and template building, delegates come away with a whole range of takeaways.
