Real teams. Real results.

See how teams of all sizes use MeetingSmart to cut unnecessary meetings, track every decision, and follow through on every action item.

Case Study 01

Series A SaaS Startup

12 people

The Problem

The CEO was running 15+ meetings per week across leadership, product, and investor syncs. Decisions were made in meetings but immediately lost in Slack threads. Action items lived in scattered Google Docs that nobody checked. The same topics resurfaced week after week because nobody could confirm what had been decided or who owned what.

The Solution

MeetingSmart structured all leadership and product meetings with persistent agendas, real-time decision logging, and automatic action assignment. Every decision was tagged with an owner and rationale. The Smart Follow-ups feature carried overdue items forward to the next meeting, so nothing could slip through the cracks. The CEO Dashboard gave instant visibility into what was blocked, overdue, or pending across the entire team.

The Results

40%

fewer meetings per week

Duplicate and status-update meetings eliminated because decisions were tracked centrally

100%

decision tracking

Every decision logged with an owner, context, and linked meeting. No more 'what did we agree on?'

3 hrs

saved per week

Time previously spent chasing updates, re-making decisions, and preparing agendas manually

We went from 'wait, did we decide that?' in every meeting to having a complete decision trail. The carry-forward feature alone saved us from rehashing the same topics every week.

Case Study 02

Family-Owned Manufacturing Company

45 people

The Problem

The board met quarterly, and minutes were drafted in Word documents by an office manager after the meeting. The drafts took two days to prepare, another day for review, and were often inaccurate. Action items from board meetings had no tracking system. Follow-ups happened informally, and by the next quarter, half the agreed actions had been forgotten entirely.

The Solution

MeetingSmart automated the minutes process with structured agendas and real-time note-taking during board meetings. Decisions were logged as they happened with formal vote records. Action items were assigned to specific owners with due dates and automatic follow-up reminders. The Minute Book feature provided a permanent, searchable archive of all board decisions for governance compliance.

The Results

2 hrs

board prep time (was 2 days)

Agendas auto-populated with carried-forward items, pending actions, and pre-meeting briefs

100%

action follow-through

Overdue items surfaced automatically before each quarterly meeting with owner and status

Complete

governance audit trail

Every decision, vote, and minute permanently recorded and searchable in the Minute Book

Board prep used to take me two full days. Now I walk in with everything ready -- agenda, open items, decision history. The board noticed the difference immediately.

Office Manager

Case Study 03

Non-Profit with Advisory Board

8 staff, 12 board members

The Problem

Volunteer board members frequently missed meetings due to scheduling conflicts, and there was no reliable record of attendance or votes. Meeting notes were inconsistent -- sometimes detailed, sometimes nonexistent. When grant auditors asked for documentation of board decisions, the team scrambled to reconstruct history from emails and memory. New board members had no way to catch up on past decisions.

The Solution

MeetingSmart provided consistent meeting structure with attendance tracking, formal voting records, and a shared decision history accessible to all board members. Members who missed meetings could review the complete record -- agenda, decisions, votes, and action items -- asynchronously. The searchable decision archive gave auditors exactly what they needed without manual reconstruction.

The Results

95%

board engagement

Members who missed meetings stayed engaged through shared meeting records and async decision review

Complete

audit trail

Every vote, decision, and attendance record documented and instantly accessible for grant audits

2 hrs

saved per week on admin

Eliminated manual minute-writing, email follow-ups, and ad-hoc record reconstruction

Our grant auditors used to be our biggest headache. Now we hand them a link to our decision history and they have everything they need. Board members actually read the minutes now because they are clear and structured.
