See What Your Spreadsheets Have Been Hiding

Ever feel like your team's data is trapped in rows and columns? Smartsheet does an amazing job organizing your workflows and keeping teams in sync—but when your business spans multiple locations, something vital is missing.

Enter the map.

That's where Huddle changes everything. We take your Smartsheet data and plot it on interactive maps right inside your portal. No more imagining where things are happening—you can see it.

Got field technicians spread across the city? Sales teams covering different territories? Assets scattered throughout facilities? Huddle takes the locations from the Smartsheet solution that you manage, and transforms it into a living, breathing map that tells the real story behind your numbers.

SMAR Locations

Your team will spot patterns they never saw before. They'll make decisions with confidence. And they'll finally have that "aha!" moment when they see how location connects to performance.

Map

Because sometimes, to truly understand your data, you need to see where it lives in the real world.

4 Use Cases That Unlock the Power of Location

1. Sales Opportunities by Region

Pain Points:

  • "We don't know where our leads are clustering."
  • "It's hard to prioritize regions without a clear view of coverage."
  • "Sales managers are assigning leads manually—blindly."

Smartsheet handles: Opportunity stage, sales rep, deal value
Huddle adds: Dynamic maps showing leads by region, rep filters, and deal size heatmaps

With Huddle, you can visualize exactly where deals are in the pipeline and which territories are underperforming or over-saturated. Sales leaders can quickly assign reps by proximity, adjust coverage plans, and focus effort where it counts most.

2. Field Service Management

Pain Points:

  • "Techs are wasting time on inefficient routes."
  • "We can't easily spot service deserts or high-demand zones."
  • "Dispatchers are guessing who's closest."

Smartsheet handles: Work orders, job status, technician assignment
Huddle adds: Technician location mapping, route optimization, color-coded job statuses

Field managers can now dispatch techs based on location in real time, reduce drive time, and visually balance workloads. High-priority or overdue jobs can be flagged on the map, and entire field teams can be tracked by territory.

3. Asset Tracking & Maintenance

Pain Points:

  • "We don't know where everything is."
  • "Maintenance cycles get missed because they're buried in spreadsheets."
  • "No visibility into aging or high-risk assets."

Smartsheet handles: Asset ID, service history, maintenance schedule
Huddle adds: Map views of asset distribution, maintenance alerts by region, asset condition layers

Visualize all your assets by location and status. Maintenance crews can prioritize site visits, aging equipment can be flagged geographically, and teams can instantly spot which areas have high-value or high-risk assets.

4. Distribution Centers & Logistics Planning

Pain Points:

  • "We don't know where our bottlenecks are happening."
  • "Too much time is spent manually planning deliveries."
  • "Our current dashboard doesn't show supply chain delays by geography."

Smartsheet handles: Inventory levels, shipment records, warehouse activity
Huddle adds: Mapped distribution networks, shipment tracking overlays, regional performance insights

Operations leaders can identify lagging delivery zones, optimize fulfillment routes, and make data-driven decisions about expanding or shifting hubs. A live map makes it easier to forecast delays and reroute logistics in real time.

Smartsheet Gives You the Data. Huddle Gives You the View.

Huddle brings your location-based items to life using addresses or coordinates already in your Smartsheet. From dashboards to dispatch to daily operations, map views transform how teams interpret and act on their data.
