you have things like Smartsheets and so on, which are more popular, at least with our employees, than Excel

When i search top spreadsheet apps or Excel alternatives, apps like yours don’t often show up, instead I get AirTable, SmartSheets and other general spreadsheet apps that are not calculation intensive.

I looked at... smartsheet... but they seem to be very project-based... Project Management vs process management.

My vote is for smartsheet and it works best when folks really invest in using it collaboratively, learning how to use it, and building/using standard templates.

I’ve heard a few people recommend Smartsheet now.

You can create dashboards out of your internal trackers that can be made client-facing.
