Smartsheet Professional Services

Data Shuttle Configuration Service 

Combine the power of Smartsheet with unparalleled expertise from thousands of successful engagements. Let Smartsheet Professional Services get you started fast with a tailored solution built on our leading best-practices. 

Overview 

Data Shuttle by Smartsheet allows you to upload or offload your data between Smartsheet and your ERPs, CRMs, and databases. This allows you to automatically and seamlessly centralize your data into one source of truth — giving you the ability to make confident, real-time decisions. With this Data Shuttle Configuration service, we will configure a Data Shuttle solution starting with creating a new sheet or modifying an existing sheet to be synced with your Data Shuttle capability. We then guide you in the setup of a Data Shuttle workflow to import or export data to/from your sheet. Your solution also includes a report to summarize relevant data. This package is ideal if you need training and support in the configuration of your Data Shuttle capability, including setting up your workflows. At the end of this engagement you will have the skills and training needed to manage your Data Shuttle solution. This package can be a great add-on service to other Smartsheet Professional Service offerings. 

The expected timeline to complete this package is within 10 business days.
