Simplifying your team’s daily workflows often means sourcing and purchasing more apps for your company’s tech stack. As your SaaS collection expands, so does the need for certain apps to integrate in order for your data to be unified and easily accessible, versus scattered and siloed across varying platforms. Finding the right software integrations to meet these needs can be time-consuming and expensive, and oftentimes, they don’t completely resolve your data issues, multiple apps, and tab-overload frustrations.

You don't always need a traditional integration. Glances lets your data live where it wants to live.

What if you didn’t actually need traditional software integrations to view your data in one place? What if your data remained untouched in its original application – like your CRM, accounting, email marketing, project management, and other software – but was available to you and your teammates in one convenient view? All of this is possible with Glances, our no-code platform that securely connects all of your favorite business apps and provides a simplified view of your data, anywhere online.

Glances lets data live where it wants to live

Unlike traditional integrations, Glances does not sync, move, or store data from app to app. Despite our background in developing popular integrations for nearly 20 years, we built Glances (and its patented technology) to be very different, empowering you and your team to view real-time insights across apps without the messy, old-school ways of data syncing.

“We found that over 80 percent of the time a business wanted an integration, they were really saying their team needs to be able to view data or create a record in another application. This is why we created Glances. It gives your team fresh, on-the-spot access to data without needing to do expensive integration work – and it gives the ability to do the things they need to do that can’t be done with automations,” Glances co-founder and CEO Jason Eggers said.

Rethink the need for costly integrations

Next time you are considering an integration as the be-all and end-all answer, ask yourself the following question: “What does my team really need to be able to see or do?” We’ll bet more often than not, that question will lead to solving the real workflow concerns of your team (and many times, it won’t require an integration).
