Case Study: U.S. General Services Administration saves time and money with Smartsheet automation and dashboards

U.S. General Services Administration saves $71,500 a year with Smartsheet automations

The U.S. General Services Administration's Integrated Award Environment (IAE) required a better way to manage complex federal projects and report real-time status to leadership, including the White House. Their challenge involved inefficient project tracking, poor data visualization, and time-consuming manual communications. They turned to the Smartsheet platform, specifically utilizing Smartsheet Gov for its FedRAMP authorization, to address these issues.

Smartsheet provided a solution that centralized project data, automated reminder emails, and created dynamic, real-time dashboards via WorkApps. This enabled clear visualization and streamlined reporting. The results included saving an estimated 2.5 hours per day on administrative tasks, which translates to roughly $71,500 in annual salary cost savings redirected to project work. The platform also improved configuration management and provided secure, FedRAMP-compliant data handling for government use.
