How Marketing Teams Use Slingshot to Move Faster.
“Imagine if Asana, Slack, Tableau and maybe your cloud file storage were combined into a single platform. This is Slingshot—a place for in-person and remote teams to collaborate, use data visualizations to understand performance, set goals, share content, and communicate within the context of the projects they are working on.”
“Slingshot lets our teams visually see and enter data in real-time, allowing for hand-offs and next steps to occur faster. And with Slingshot’s organization, we have the data necessary to easily track programs and increase the accountability of all who are involved.”
Aaron Salko
@ Regional Sales Manager at Stephen Gould
“Not only are we saving time, but we’re also saving money. After deploying Slingshot, we increased our cash flow by $40,000 a week on average because we can access our accounts receivable data quicker and react to any issues faster.”
Heinz Vieluf Jr
@ President of Cibao Meat Products, Inc.
“Now we visualize key data points in clear, beautiful charts and dashboards that I create in less than 30 minutes.”
