What are Connected Spreadsheets?

Silae takes an interface that's familiar - spreadsheets - and supercharges it by automatically populating it with real-time data and insights from your factory floor.

At its core is a set of tables with live data. Silae Connected Spreadsheets offer powerful templates built on top of this data to help you track production, loss time and more.

Silae Connected Spreadsheets can be set to automatically mail you reports every evening.

The spreadsheets are secure, stay in your company folders and can be accessed only by authorized staff within the organization using same credentials as for rest of the platform.
