Founded in 2018, RowShare is an innovative data management tool built on the belief that every client’s unique processes deserve better than generic spreadsheet platforms. RowShare offers a suite of features that streamline data collection, enhance collaboration, and improve security. It provides customizable templates, organizes files efficiently, and ensures that users can access only the data they need.
Central to RowShare is a balance between customization and simplicity; it is that equilibrium that makes the tool intuitive, easy to learn, and quick to adopt – regardless of the industry, niche, or needs. Less complex than a CRM and smarter than traditional table spreadsheets, RowShare’s goal is not to replace spreadsheets but to provide an innovative alternative for specific use cases.
With a single, consolidated data table open to tens, hundreds, or thousands of users, RowShare recognizes the importance of fostering trust among customers. To mitigate the risk of confidential data falling into the hands of unauthorized people, the platform’s engineers developed meticulous safety measures. What differentiates RowShare, truly positioning it ahead of the curve, is giving executives full control to determine who can access specific rows and columns—all without complex configurations.
RowShare’s granular row-sharing feature includes reading or writing access in the Team Plan, augmented with creating, deleting, and assigning in the Pro and Enterprise tiers. Similar rules apply to columns, with admins being able to hide them, put them on reading mode, or make them accessible only to specific groups. This ethos of security and integrity extends to external collaborators, with leaders defining exactly what data external users can see and precisely determining their edit access, ultimately keeping internal information safe.
Accountability in the workplace goes a long way, and RowShare ensures no mistake falls through the cracks by keeping a comprehensive log of every change made to the tables. Additionally, no ‘misclicks’ are an option, as the platform ensures each access decision is well-thought-out through a double-click verification process. Progress can be tracked by authorized employees with RowShare’s customizable templates and all-encompassing graphs, which deliver invaluable insights and aid managers in understanding the effectiveness of processes.
Designed by specialists with decades of combined experience in software development, RowShare addresses the limitations of other platforms, bridging the gaps that the team has observed over the years. As Founder Antoine Driard says, “Today’s market offers affordable, DIY-like SaaS software accessible to anyone. However, that kind of solution lacks personalization, expert assistance, and cutting-edge tech. On the other side is the allure of high-end software. While tailored to individual needs by a team of professional consultants, it’s a costly solution often out of reach for SMBs.”
RowShare is that ‘middle ground,’ offering a customizable solution and step-by-step guidance at a much more affordable cost. Without the need to build software from scratch for every customer, the platform’s consultants can also curate a set of templates and tables tailored to individual needs swiftly, with the possibility to add or remove features in the future. Any queries—from lost passwords to the most advanced matters—are answered promptly by in-house specialists. This commitment to supporting users every step of the way sparks fruitful collaboration, fosters trust, and promotes long-term success.
Despite a diverse range of customers, Antoine noticed repeating patterns among certain niches. These trends allowed RowShare to create tens of templates, each one addressing the most common pain points. While clients looking to address the same issues gain immediate access to a tailored tool, others can treat it as a comprehensive, effective foundation to build on. Many case examples illustrate RowShare’s acumen and immense impact, attesting to its ingenuity.
A notable success story is that of Hello Courtier, a French network of real estate and borrower insurance brokerage agencies, which chose RowShare to organize its sales outreach. Manager Luidgi Ciavarella reflects on the collaboration:
We were looking for a tool to improve collaboration among everyone working at Hello Courtier and our external partners. The main challenge was managing our sales outreach in a more organized and structured way. Previously, everyone created their own Excel file to suit their needs. We had considered using shared dashboards like Excel Online or Google Sheets, but these tools didn’t meet our confidentiality needs. We also used financial simulation software essential to our business, but it wasn’t collaborative at all. [With RowShare] Each user can only see their own data, managers can see their team’s data, and our president can see everything, all without complicated configuration. This allows us to have centralized monitoring dashboards that are always up to date, where everyone accesses their relevant data. Following up on pipeline reviews used to take up to 2 hours a day, but with RowShare, that time has been reduced by at least 30%. This means we save at least 40 minutes a day—nearly 2 working days per person each month!
Looking ahead, RowShare remains excited about the possibilities of modern technology, planning to enhance its efficiency and effectiveness with developments like AI tools. RowShare empowers users to gather data when confidentiality matters, relentlessly fulfilling its ‘collaborative, simple, and reliable’ mission – one success story at a time.
