How Stephen Gould Scaled Its Capacity by 30% without Making a Single Hire
Kanban and… That’s It?!
Slingshot gives you Kanban plus built-in analytics, task chat, dashboards, and AI insights. All in one place.
Why Teams Switch from Trello to Slingshot
-
Task Lists Aren’t Project Management
Trello handles to-dos, Slingshot handles full workflows with timelines, dependencies, custom fields, and resource tracking built in.
-
Everything in One Workspace
Slingshot replaces your board app, chat tool, dashboard solution, and file storage without power-ups or third-party logins.
-
Visual Data Without Setup
While Trello needs integrations to show progress, Slingshot gives you dashboards, KPIs, and performance trends from day one.
-
Built to Scale, Not Fragment
As teams grow, Trello becomes a pile of boards with no central view. Slingshot keeps everything aligned and visible across departments.
-
One Flat Price. No Nickel-and-Diming
Slingshot includes the full platform with no separate charges for advanced features or core functionality.

But here’s what you’re missing if you’re just using Trello
Built In BI, Not Glued On
Trello offers no advanced reporting unless you layer on third-party tools. Slingshot gives you visual dashboards and analytics from the first day.
Lost Workflow Visibility
Trello struggles with complex projects unless you add Gantt or time tracking power-ups. Slingshot handles full workflows with timelines, dependencies, custom fields, and resource tracking built in.
Chat Buried in Notifications
Trello discussion gets lost among card notifications and logs. Slingshot puts team chat inside each task, so context stays with the work.
Built to Scale, Not Fragment
As teams grow, Trello becomes a pile of boards with no central view. Slingshot keeps everything aligned and visible across departments.
The Leadership Wake-Up Call That Inspired A Digital Workplace
“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.”
“Now we visualize key data points in clear, beautiful charts and dashboards that I create in less than 30 minutes.”
Travis Rotondo
@ MLB Residential Lending LLC
“Slingshot helps us improve accountability on our team. It allows us to make clear agreements on what and when tasks need to get done. And I love how we can have chat within a task. Slingshot empowers my client teams and keeps us informed and focused.”
John Gomez
@ Sensato, Cyber Security Solutions
“Using Slingshot on my phone gives me instant access to our sales metrics and allows me to use that data in chat with my team. There’s simply no better way to motivate your team than with good data.”
Aaron Salko
@ Stephen Gould
“I was going to too many places to complete tasks, using too many apps, trying to dig up conversations from email or messages— interrupting my workflow and wasting time.”
Kelly Johnson
@ Stephen Gould
“I really like how Slingshot works with Microsoft Office 365. I get the best of Microsoft and the easy-to-use data analytics, information management and team organization of Slingshot.”
