Smarter Apps for CWM – 100% premium functionality without the premium price tag
Great tools should make life easier. But sometimes, with greatness comes complexity which leads the way to searching for a more streamlined approach.
We’ve been building collaborative work management solutions since 2012 and over the years, our consultants kept spotting the same thing: businesses needed small but mighty tools that could do more than the native platform allowed. That’s precisely why we created our Smarter Apps.

Unlocking the power of Smartsheet forms with logic, custom summaries, and prefilled fields
Most people know that Smartsheet forms are a great way to collect data. They’re simple to set up, easy to share, and give you a straightforward way to capture information into a sheet. But far fewer people realise just how smart these forms can be.
With a little configuration, forms don’t just gather information, they guide the user, keep your data clean, and can even be personalised or send personalised responses. At Smarter Business Processes (SBP), we help clients unlock features like form logic, custom summaries, and prefilled fields to make forms more efficient, more accurate, and much friendlier for the end user.

Why using Smartsheet like Excel could be holding you back
When you first open Smartsheet, it’s easy to see why people think of it as ‘Excel online’.
You’ve got rows, columns, and cells. You can type in text, dates, and formulas. You can colour-code, sort, and filter.
But the reality is, Smartsheet is not Excel and using it like a traditional spreadsheet means you’ll never unlock its true potential.
