Staff directory and org chart for Google Sheets

Sound familiar?

Nobody can find the right person. Nobody trusts the org chart.

Staff directory

Nobody can find the right person.

  • The roster is a Sheet that's hard to search, and not one you want to share with everyone.
  • The company directory tool leaves out volunteers, governors and contractors because they have no company email or paid seat.
  • New starters have to ask around to learn who does what, and who is remote, in the field or in the office.

OrgNice creates a live staff directory from your Sheet that anyone can search and browse, with profiles and photos. No one needs access to the Sheet.

Org chart

The org chart is wrong and nobody trusts it.

  • It's a slide or a diagram, so it's out of date the day someone leaves.
  • Every change can mean hours of redrawing boxes.
  • The reporting lines in your Sheet have gaps and loops, and nobody notices until someone asks.

OrgNice draws the org chart live from your Sheet, so it's never out of date. Nothing to drag or redraw.

Set up in about a minute

From Sheet to finished directory before your tea cools.

No blank canvas. OrgNice reads your columns and sets everything up. You adjust, you don't build.

  1. Step 1

    Connect your Sheet

    Sign in with Google and pick the Sheet. You choose which one. OrgNice never writes to it.

  2. Step 2

    OrgNice sets it up

    A directory, an org chart, or both, from the same Sheet. Columns mapped, fields picked, theme, profile layout, colour layers and map views configured for you.

  3. Step 3

    Share it

    Restricted, whole organisation, named people or public. Or embed it where people already look.

What you get

Built for people who keep the roster, and the people who read it.

Nobody maintains a second copy.

The day someone leaves, it is already right. OrgNice reads your Sheet every time someone views the directory or chart. It isn't an import you re-run, and it isn't a chart you redraw.

  • Edit the Sheet, both views update
  • No sync step, no rebuild
  • No change to how you work. Keep editing the Sheet
  • Your Sheet stays the single source of truth

Share it with the right people, or put it where they already look.

Give access to named people, your whole organisation or anyone with the link. Or embed the directory or the org chart in a page you already have.

  • Share with anyone who has an email address
  • One setting for everyone in your organisation
  • A public link for your website or wiki
  • Embed it where you need it, like Google Sites, Confluence or WordPress

People find who does what without asking around.

Search by any field, browse as cards or a table, open a profile in a side panel or as its own page.

  • Live search as you type
  • Bookmarkable profile pages for Slack and wikis
  • Working pattern on every profile: remote, field or office
  • Mark volunteers, contractors and other extended workforce visually

See reporting lines, then spot patterns at a glance.

Colour the chart by department or location. Data validation flags gaps and loops in your reporting lines, and repairs the common ones.

  • Highlight remote, field and office workers
  • Broken hierarchies flagged before anyone asks
  • Export optimized for slides, print and email, to PNG, SVG or PDF

See where your people are and who is near whom.

Named map views from any location column. Places, coordinates or Maps links all work. People who can't be placed are listed with the reason.

  • Clustered pins that open to real profiles
  • Up to five named map views per project
  • Locate any person from their profile
  • Built for hybrid and distributed teams

Security and data

Your roster stays where it already is.

Nothing to breach

Names, titles and reporting lines are read from your Sheet when someone views it. They aren't kept in our database.

You pick the Sheet

Google asks you for read-only access to your Sheets. OrgNice only ever reads the Sheet you connect, and never writes to it.

You control who sees it

Restricted, organisation-wide, named people or public, and you can change it any time.

OrgNice runs on Google Cloud in the US. Because your roster isn't stored there, where we host matters less. Profile images are cached temporarily, and map place names are cached with no names attached. Read exactly what we store

In their words

Teams that stopped updating two copies.

“We needed a solution that integrated with Google Sheets, allowing updates to happen dynamically rather than manually. Now colleagues can access live, accurate information in real time, rather than relying on outdated versions.”

“Leadership finally had something accurate to reference — across an organisation spanning two continents.”

Questions

Before you connect anything.

What is OrgNice?

OrgNice is a staff directory and org chart tool for Google Sheets. It reads your roster from a Sheet every time someone views it, so both views are always current.

Do I need to change my Sheet?

Usually not. OrgNice maps your existing columns. If you are starting fresh, the free template has a working reporting hierarchy built in.

Do I need a Google account?

Only to connect your Sheet. Your Sheet lives in Google, so whoever connects it signs in to Google once to give OrgNice read access. Any Google account will do, personal or Workspace. You can sign in to OrgNice with Google, or with a one-time code sent to your email if you do not have a Google account. The people you share with never need a Google account, whether they view in OrgNice or in an embed.

What does OrgNice store?

No copy of your roster. Project settings such as layout and theme are stored; the people data is read from your Sheet on each view.

Can I include people without a company email?

Yes. Volunteers, contractors, committee members, governors, board members and trustees are ordinary rows in your Sheet, and the price doesn't change with headcount.

Can I embed it in Google Sites or Confluence?

Yes, depending on your plan. Paste the embed link into an iframe or embed block.

What happens when the trial ends?

Your projects drop to the free Basic plan, and you can upgrade any time.

Do you charge per seat?

No. Pricing is flat per project.

Update one row. Let the rest follow.
