About Quip

Quip is a commercial tool from Salesforce that combines real-time collaborative documents, spreadsheets and chat. The vendor frames it as productivity for Salesforce customers, with documents embedded inside Salesforce records and live Salesforce data used in the content.

Typical processes include planning accounts, building mutual close plans and recording qualification notes, which Quip helps standardize and automate with templates. Spreadsheets can be embedded in documents so numbers appear with context, and team chat is built into every document, along with chat rooms and one-to-one messaging.

Quip is a hosted product with a security page, templates and a pricing page, and enterprise buyers are directed to contact sales. It is a close fit for sales teams and other groups that already run on Salesforce and want working documents next to their records.
