SmartSuite is a cloud-based, AI-native work platform that connects the workflows running an organization. The company describes it as a unified foundation for data, automation, AI, permissions and reporting. Its homepage frames it as a Connected GRC platform for the enterprise, with the same foundation applied to IT, projects and business operations.
The product is organized into four solution areas: Governance, Risk, Compliance and Resilience; IT Service Delivery; Project and Portfolio Management; and Business Operations. SmartSuite says teams typically start in one area and expand as their workflows connect, which reflects its aim of reducing tool sprawl.
SmartSuite works as a platform on which purpose-built Solution Suites run. Each suite is a set of connected workflows for a function, such as compliance management or IT asset management. Underneath, the platform provides structured, validated data that is linked across workflows, so a risk, a control and an audit finding can relate to each other.
Teams model processes with workflow orchestration, automate routine tasks without code, and use built-in AI and agents for insight. Collaboration keeps updates and decisions in the context of the work, while real-time dashboards report across all data. Fine-grained permissions and audit trails govern access.
The GRC area lists suites for AI governance, compliance, cyber and IT risk, enterprise risk, ESG, internal audit, operational resilience and business continuity, privacy, SOX and third-party risk. The IT area covers enterprise service desk, ITSM, IT asset management and IT operations management. Project suites cover portfolio and financial management, execution, and strategy and planning.
Business operations suites cover finance, legal, marketing, people, procurement, product, real estate, revenue and sales operations, plus higher education. Platform-wide capabilities include data architecture, no-code automation, AI and agents, enterprise reporting and integrations. SmartSuite is localized in 16 languages and runs on U.S. and EU data centers.

It suits teams and organizations that want to standardize risk, compliance, audit, IT, project or business workflows on one platform. SmartSuite says it is built for startups, mid-sized teams and global enterprises.
The pricing page names Gmail and Outlook integrations on the Professional plan. SmartSuite also describes an integrations capability for connecting systems, but the provided pages do not list other named tools.
SmartSuite lists alignment with SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR and HIPAA. It offers U.S. and EU data centers, and the Enterprise plan adds SSO, SCIM, audit logs, IP restrictions, DLP and European data residency.
The Team plan starts at $15 per seat per month billed annually with a three-user minimum, which keeps entry cost modest for small teams. Its breadth is aimed at GRC and operations use, so very small teams with simple needs may not use most of it.
SmartSuite says it is localized in 16 languages. The company states workflows, permissions and reporting stay consistent across the organization.
