Main Benefits

Build Around Real Business Objects

Model customers, orders, inventory, projects, assets, vendors, and other operational records in a structure that matches how your business works.

Manage Complex Record Hierarchies

Use child records for line items, tasks, components, inspections, maintenance history, and other structured details without flattening everything into one table.

Connect Operations Across Your Business

Link records and workspaces across teams so customers, orders, files, projects, vendors, and workflows stay connected in one operational system.

Control Access Precisely

Manage access by workspace, role, record, or field so employees and external users see only the information relevant to them.

Extend Operations Through Portals

Give customers, vendors, and partners secure access to records, forms, files, and updates through built-in portals.

Generate Documents From Live Data

Create PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets, reports, and operational forms directly from current records without rebuilding them manually.

Files, Workflows, and Data Stay Together

Keep documents, attachments, approvals, assignments, reminders, and automation connected to the records they belong to, so teams can work from one complete operational context.

The Record Layout Is the Interface

Design each record around how people actually work. Fields, child records, linked records, files, pages, actions, and related information appear together in one operational layout, without maintaining a separate interface over the underlying data.

Built-In Record History and Versioning

Track changes to operational records over time, see how information has evolved, and preserve accountability across users, workflows, and updates.

Where Smartsheet Becomes Harder for Business Operations

  • Work is organized across separate sheets, reports, dashboards, and workspaces
  • Connected processes often depend on cross-sheet formulas, references, and duplicated data
  • Complex business records are flattened into rows instead of modeled as complete operational objects
  • External collaboration, portals, and granular access can require additional configuration or products
  • Documents, files, approvals, and workflows can become separated from the records they belong to
  • Scaling across departments can create a growing network of sheets that is difficult to govern
  • Deployment is limited to the vendor-hosted cloud service

AnyDB Is Built Around Business Operations

  • Create object-based systems for customers, orders, inventory, projects, assets, and vendors
  • Use child records for line items, tasks, components, inspections, and activity
  • Connect records and workspaces across one operational system
  • Give customers, vendors, and partners access through built-in secure portals
  • Generate PDFs, Word documents, and spreadsheets directly from live records
  • Start with one workflow and expand into connected systems as your business grows
  • Choose cloud, private cloud, or self-hosted deployment options

Smartsheet helps teams coordinate projects and work.
AnyDB helps you run connected business operations.

Build systems around customers, orders, inventory, projects, assets, vendors, and the work that connects them.

As operations grow, information can become distributed across sheets, reports, dashboards, cross-sheet references, and separate workspaces. Keeping connected records, permissions, documents, workflows, and external users aligned becomes harder to maintain.

AnyDB is built differently.

Its object-based structure lets you model complete business records, including orders with line items, projects with tasks, products with components, and assets with maintenance history. Data, files, workflows, portals, permissions, and document generation stay connected in one operational system.

Generate Documents Directly From Your Live Records

Turn AnyDB records into professional, ready-to-share PDFs / Docx / XLSX with fields, linked data, tables, terms, and other relevant information automatically included.

How it Works?

Your Business is made of Real Things

  • A vendor with certifications, contracts, invoices

Frequently Asked Questions

How is AnyDB different from Smartsheet?

Smartsheet is centered on sheets, projects, reports, dashboards, and work management. AnyDB is centered on connected business objects such as customers, orders, inventory items, projects, assets, vendors, and the workflows between them. This makes AnyDB better suited to building complete operational systems rather than coordinating work across a collection of sheets.

Can AnyDB replace an existing Smartsheet setup?

Yes. You can begin with one Smartsheet process, import its records, rebuild the related workflow, and expand from there. AnyDB lets you move one operational area at a time instead of replacing everything at once.

Can I import data from Smartsheet?

Yes. Smartsheet data can be exported and imported into AnyDB. We can also help map sheets, attachments, relationships, formulas, and workflows into an object-based structure that is easier to maintain as the system grows.

What are object-based systems?

Object-based systems organize data around real business records. An order can contain line items, a project can contain tasks, a product can contain components, and an asset can contain inspections and maintenance history. These records can also connect to customers, vendors, files, approvals, and workflows.

Does AnyDB support project and task management?

Yes. AnyDB supports projects, tasks, assignments, due dates, calendars, views, reminders, approvals, and automation. Project work can also connect directly to customers, sites, inventory, assets, documents, vendors, and other operational records.

Does AnyDB support linked records and child records?

Yes. AnyDB supports both linked records and parent-child structures. You can create structured hierarchies for orders and line items, projects and tasks, products and components, inspections and findings, and many other operational relationships.

Can external users access AnyDB?

Yes. AnyDB includes secure portals for customers, vendors, partners, contractors, and other external users. You can control which records, files, forms, and actions each user can access without exposing the rest of your internal system.

Can AnyDB generate documents from records?

Yes. AnyDB can generate PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets, reports, invoices, purchase orders, certificates, and other business documents directly from live record data.

Does AnyDB support forms, views, reports, and automations?

Yes. AnyDB includes forms, list and table views, cards, calendars, charts, reports, assignments, reminders, workflows, and automation. These capabilities operate on the same connected records instead of requiring separate sheets or duplicated data.

Can AnyDB help us design and migrate our system?

Yes. Share your current Smartsheet setup, spreadsheets, or workflow, and the AnyDB team can help model the records, relationships, permissions, and processes for your first working system.
