Slack Does Chat. Slingshot Does It All.

Slingshot gives you and your teams everything Slack does with a lot of extras. You still have one place to collaborate on projects with channels, direct messaging, and file sharing, so communication will always be fast, easy, and reliable. File sharing is simple: share documents, photos, and links in conversations. Slingshot also works with tools you already use, making your workflow seamless and uninterrupted. Collaboration is kept organized with threaded conversations, so you can hold discussions on track and easy to follow.

Slingshot - Share Files in Discussion

But here’s what you’re missing if you’re just using Slack

Integrated Project Management

Integrated Project Management

Slack requires add-ons like Asana (at extra cost) for project management. Slingshot includes built-in task management with dependencies, due dates, and custom fields.

Cost Savings

Cost Savings

With project management and data analytics combined in one platform, Slingshot eliminates the need to pay for multiple subscriptions, thus reducing the overall expense.

Data-Driven Decisions

Data-Driven Decisions

Slack lacks built-in data analytics. Slingshot includes built-in data dashboards that can bring in many data sources and build interactive visualizations, eliminating the need for yet another tool like Power BI.

All-in-One Workspace

All-in-One Workspace

Slingshot integrates communication, project management, and data within a single platform, providing a unified workspace for teams. One does not need to switch between apps; context switching is reduced.

Contextual Collaboration

Contextual Collaboration

Slingshot incorporates chat into tasks and projects so that discussions remain relevant and on topic. Slack discussions get siloed and disconnected from the actual work.

More Than Communication

With Slingshot, you’re doing more than communicating. You’re driving measurable business growth. It combines messaging, task tracking, content sharing, data-driven insights, and AI analytics into a single platform, eliminating the need for multiple tools. That means less context switching, fewer subscriptions, and more productivity for your team.
