Overview

Wisegrid offers a novel approach to work management by building an application layer on top of a familiar spreadsheet interface. It enables teams to edit rows in a spreadsheet, with live dashboards and rollups automatically reflecting changes, eliminating the need to constantly rebuild status pages. This platform is designed to provide robust work management tooling while maintaining the ease of use and familiarity of a spreadsheet.

Key Features

• Live Dashboards: Real-time KPI tiles and charts that dynamically update from your sheets, with shareable and customizable widgets.
• Forms: Multi-page forms with conditional logic and branding that feed submissions directly into spreadsheet rows.
• Reports: Ability to group and summarize data across multiple sheets in real-time, ensuring data consistency at scale.
• Automations: Configure notifications, assignments, row movements, and multi-step approvals based on various triggers, with full run history.
• Permissions: Granular sharing options at the project, sheet, or view level, including SSO and MFA for enhanced security.
• Collaboration: Features like presence indicators, comments, attachments, and row-level conflict detection to prevent data loss during simultaneous edits.
• AI Formulas: Integrate AI directly into cells for tasks like classification, extraction, and summarization, billed transparently with a hard spending cap.
• Blueprints: Save project configurations as reusable templates to quickly create new governed projects.

Target Users

Wisegrid is ideal for teams and organizations accustomed to managing work in spreadsheets but needing advanced features like live dashboards, automations, and enhanced collaboration. It's particularly useful for project managers, marketing teams, finance departments, and anyone who wants to streamline their work processes without abandoning the spreadsheet paradigm.

Unique Selling Points

Wisegrid's core unique selling proposition is its ability to layer powerful work management features directly onto a spreadsheet interface that users already understand. This significantly reduces the learning curve associated with new software adoption. Its single, all-inclusive pricing model ensures access to every feature (Gantt, automations, AI, SSO) without tiered limitations. The AI-in-cells feature, with its transparent, capped billing, provides an innovative way to leverage AI for data enrichment and analysis directly within the spreadsheet environment, and the robust conflict resolution prevents data loss during simultaneous edits.
