Scratchpad: A Lightning-Fast Workspace for Salesforce Reps
Published on 2025/03/31 by Jasper Sutter
Introduction
Salesforce is powerful—but for most reps, it’s painful to use. Endless clicks, slow load times, and tab overload make it a chore to update pipeline or jot down meeting notes. Scratchpad is a game-changing interface that sits on top of Salesforce and makes everything faster.
It’s the productivity layer that transforms how reps interact with their CRM.
What It Offers
Scratchpad is designed to reduce friction and save reps time. It offers:
- A unified workspace to manage notes, pipeline, and tasks
- Two-way sync with Salesforce—no manual re-entry
- Smart templates for meeting prep and follow-up
- Fast in-line editing for opportunity fields
- A Chrome extension to overlay functionality on top of Salesforce views
It’s not a replacement for Salesforce—it’s a way to make using it feel effortless.
Ideal Use Cases
- Updating pipeline after sales calls
- Taking structured meeting notes tied to opportunities
- Managing daily sales tasks in a to-do list format
- Keeping Salesforce clean and up to date without friction

Pricing Overview

How It Compares
Tool | Strengths | Limitations |
Scratchpad | Fastest UI for rep productivity | Limited to Salesforce |
