Arbutus SmartApps

What Arbutus SmartApps do

Arbutus SmartApps are pre-built analytical procedures available within Arbutus Analyzer. They are designed to support common audit, compliance, and data analysis tasks by providing ready-to-use routines that can be executed or adapted as needed.

SmartApps are included as part of the Arbutus environment and do not require separate installation. They provide a practical starting point for frequently used analyses, helping users move more quickly from data access to meaningful results.

How Arbutus SmartApps are used

Arbutus SmartApps are typically used where organisations want to:

• Accelerate common audit or data analysis tasks
• Apply proven analytical routines without building them from scratch
• Provide users with a structured starting point for analysis
• Standardise commonly used procedures across teams
• Support less experienced users with guided analytical approaches

In many cases, SmartApps are used as a starting point that can be executed directly or adapted to fit the organisation’s specific requirements.

What this looks like

In practice, users can select from available SmartApps within Arbutus Analyzer, review their logic, and run them against relevant datasets.

Depending on the use case, SmartApps may be used as:

• Ready-to-run procedures for common checks or analyses
• Templates that can be adapted and extended
• Building blocks within broader analytical strategies

Because SmartApps are implemented as standard Arbutus procedures, they can be modified, combined, and integrated with other analytical routines as needed.

Working with other Arbutus components

Arbutus SmartApps are primarily used within Arbutus Analyzer, where they can be executed and adapted.

They can also be combined with other components of the platform:

• Arbutus Hub, for sharing resources, scheduling procedures and managing analytics centrally
• Arbutus WebConnect, for browser-based execution of approved procedures
• Arbutus Results Manager, for reviewing and managing exceptions or results

This allows SmartApps to move from individual use to shared, structured, and repeatable analytics.

Examples of SmartApps

A wide range of SmartApps is available, covering areas such as accounts payable/receivable, fixed assets, fraud and compliance, inventory and HR, etc.

Examples and detailed descriptions of available SmartApps can be found in the resources section, where individual SmartApps and their use cases are outlined.
