SmartSuite

SmartSuite is a work management platform that integrates databases, spreadsheets, documents, collaboration tools, and automation. The job it does: planning work, assigning owners and seeing what is late.

Who is it for? Mostly teams of any size with deadlines. They also list Business Process Automation (BPA), Collaboration and Project Management, so expect those to show up in the feature set. They are a mid-sized team, 51 to 200 people, which usually shapes who they work with.

SmartSuite is based in Newport Beach, California. More on smartsuite.com.
