Replace Your Stack of Business Apps with Actieve SMPL

Team conversations live in Slack or Mattermost. Customer information sits in HubSpot. Marketing emails go through Klaviyo. Files are in Dropbox or OneDrive, while schedules, timesheets, and invoices each have their own system.

Each tool solves a problem. Managing them together creates more work: separate accounts, scattered information, and details your team has to copy from one place to another.

Actieve SMPL brings that everyday work into one workspace. We took the useful pieces businesses rely on across these products and brought them together so you can spend less time managing software and more time running your business.

Team conversations alongside the work

SMPL replaces the everyday team chat you might use Slack or Mattermost for, with channels, private conversations, direct messages, mentions, and file attachments.

Create spaces for departments, projects, or clients. Keep your team’s conversations in the same workspace as its tasks and files, so people know where to find the discussion and what needs to happen next.

Customer management and email marketing

For businesses using HubSpot primarily to organize contacts and companies, SMPL brings those core CRM needs into the workspace. Keep customer information organized with custom fields and connect people with the companies they work for.

SMPL also handles the everyday email campaign work you might otherwise use a separate marketing platform such as Klaviyo for. Write formatted emails, reuse templates, choose an audience or specific recipients, and follow opens and clicks.

Your customer records and campaign tools are available together, making it easier to keep your contacts organized and stay in touch.

File sharing without another destination

SMPL covers the everyday file organization and sharing needs that often send teams to Dropbox or OneDrive.

Organize group files into folders, preview images and videos, and share selected files through links you can revoke. Keep the files your team needs in the workspace where people already manage their work.

Employee schedules your team can manage

Build weekly and monthly rosters, reuse shifts, and assign people in bulk. Handle time-off approvals and shift swaps without piecing the schedule together from spreadsheets and messages.

Managers get a place to organize coverage, and employees have a shared place to keep up with the schedule.

Time tracking that connects to invoicing

Record start and end times or enter durations, then review work by person and date. When it is time to bill, add recorded time to an invoice.

SMPL also brings proposals, invoices, expenses, and receipts together. Send proposals customers can approve online, create invoices they can pay by card, and bill from time and expenses.

That means fewer details to re-enter between finishing the work and getting paid.

Projects, tasks, forms, and shared notes

The smaller tools add up, too. A task manager here, a form builder there, and another app for team notes.

SMPL includes project management, assigned tasks, due dates, comments, shared notebooks, and forms. Keep project files and discussions together, collect submissions, and give your team a shared place for instructions and reference material.

Personal and shared dashboards help people bring the information they use most into view.

Replace the tools you use every day

You do not have to move everything at once. Start with a workflow that causes friction, whether that is team chat, customer follow-up, file sharing, or scheduling. Bring related work into SMPL as your team gets comfortable.

Specialized businesses may still need specialized software. SMPL focuses on replacing the common tools many teams use to handle their daily operations, without claiming every advanced feature of every separate platform.

Fewer places to check. Less information to copy. A clearer view of the work ahead.
