I save an hour or more every day just by having all of my documents right where I need them, without having to sign in to other programs that can take forever to open. I can give answers to complicated contract questions in seconds because it is all in the same place. I would say that if I added it all up, Smartsheet saves me at least four to eight hours every week.
