More and more businesses are relying on Smartsheet to run daily operational activities from mobile devices. Whether you need to update a project detail, take and attach a photo to a row, or share information, having the power of Smartsheet in your pocket is a tremendous boost to productivity.

Smartsheeters like you all around the world are using Smartsheet on the go, finding new and creative ways to get more done. Check out some of these real-life mobile superstars who depend on Smartsheet's mobile apps to work how and where they want (and need) to.

 

Running the NFL Super Bowl

Imagine planning and orchestrating each detail of the Super Bowl, from the massive pre-game press conferences to coordinating hundreds of vendors' participation. Now imagine keeping up with each change to that schedule from an iPhone. Since Populous, the design firm responsible for planning and executing the world’s largest sporting events uses Smartsheet, it’s part of the way they manage their business.

Senior Associate Mark Klein uses Smartsheet on his iPhone to keep all aspects of the event organized and updated down to the second. Alerts instantly notify Klein of changes, and he pulls up Smartsheet on his phone to update the schedule at a moment’s notice. In real time, Klein’s team is kept on the same page so that the event goes off without a hitch.

“I use my iPhone and iPad each day that I’m onsite at an event. Smartsheet has definitely improved our productivity, impressed our clients and vendors, and made project management for major sporting events like the Super Bowl and Final Four much easier,” said Klein.

On the Tradeshow Floor

Imagine heading to a tradeshow and instantly adding new leads to your sales pipeline by taking advantage of the smartphones everyone carries. Meredith Esham and her marketing team at Precise Biometrics do just that – with Smartsheet mobile.

Using a killer combo of QR codes (similar to those grocery store barcodes), web forms, and attendees’ own mobile devices, Esham and crew seamlessly capture attendee information and extend their relationship well beyond the day of the trade show.  Talk about a team that isn’t tethered to their keyboards to make things happen.

So just how much does the team at Precise Biometrics love Smartsheet? They said: “If Smartsheet were a man, he would be organized, follow up on tasks, always be on time, and know what I need before I know I need it… I’d marry him!”

In the Forest

Being "out of office" is the nature of business at Rajala Lumber in Northern Minnesota. The team keeps operations running smoothly, whether they're in the forest, the shipyard, or the manufacturing plant with Smartsheet on their mobile devices.

Most of us are not in an office all day – we’re out in cold, hot, wet environments – in the woods,” explained owner John Rajala.  “Thanks to mobile devices and Smartsheet, we have people in the field and out in the factory that are able to consume and provide information in a timely manner.”

On the Manufacturing Floor

Keeping equipment maintenance records up to date from the factory is critical for the cheese craftsmen at Cypress Grove Chevre.  No strangers to cloud technology, the team keeps their facilities and operations in tip top shape thanks to Smartsheet. With real-time access and the ability to update records from anywhere with mobile devices, the focus is squarely on making the best cheese possible.

“[Smartsheet has] reinforced our corporate philosophy of keeping it simple, being efficient in everything we do, and promoting personal responsibility,” said Jason Baxter, marketing manager at Cypress Grove. “Smartsheet has been at the heart of helping us achieve our business and manufacturing goals – it helps us to be the company we want to be.”

We’re thrilled that our customers use our mobile solutions to work where they want. Download Smartsheet for your mobile device and let us know in the comments how you are using Smartsheet on the go!

You know something works when you think "How in the world did we ever function without it?" Good job Smartsheet.

I have HTC Desire, but Play Store not allows to install Smartsheet as my phone is working with Android 2.2.2. Will it be possible to install Smartsheet on Android 2.2.2

Hi there, Our Android app works on phone and tablets running Android 2.3.3 or later, so unfortunately it's not possible to install Smartsheet on Android 2.2.2. You can use the mobile browser - head to the login page from any browser at https://www.smartsheet.com/b/m. Thanks, Kelly

Smartsheet on mobile is really cool, great project management. Only downside is that it takes a while to load a project and then after changing something it takes some time to load the sheet back. A big downside using it on the go.

Hi Yuda, We're working on it -- over the next year, we'll be shipping a number of improvements that collectively will help improve the load time when you're using the mobile web app. If you're on-the-go and updating smaller projects or just checking in on details, our native Android and iOS apps do have a pretty speedy load time and may help out. Thanks! Kelly
