We are all smiles, claps, whistles, and pats-on-the-back at Windward as we are honored by G2 as the Momentum leader in the document generation category.
It is extremely encouraging to know that our years of diligence has paid off as we are now recognized and enthusiastically appreciated by our clients.
It is indeed an honor for us to know that our customers think highly of our product and can take the time to review and rate it. The confidence that our customers have in us is a clear sign that we are doing it right and today we reveal some of the highlights of our company and how we got up to here.
Windward is designed with a drive to provide quality document automation solutions for a wide range of platforms. We strive to be the best and ensure we get there by constantly improving and expanding the product line so that our customers are convinced that the features and quality of Windward are superior to the rest and better than the one before.
In the last few years, we have ensured our clients can take advantage of Windward’s reporting power in an extensive range of programs including Salesforce, SharePoint, MS Dynamics among myriad others.
No wonder, Genesis (our client) who runs the HR department for a reputable firm says: “We no longer rely on our IT department to get the job done. The best part about Windward is it quickly integrated into our MS Word and Excel platforms. So we literally skipped the learning curve to learn the software and straightaway went ahead with creating document templates in minutes!”
While developing products, we bear in mind the fact that the end-user needs to be comfortable using it and it should make their reporting process simple and quick. So, while Windward will be performing complex functions on the backend, that is no reason to make it complicated.
We simplify every process that the end-user will be involved in so that just about anyone within the organization is able to generate a document within a few seconds. Our customers have commented about how easy their work has been made ever since they adopted Windward for automation of their documents. Our software integrates with already existing programs that the user is well-familiar with like Word and Excel. So they do not have to learn how to use a new program.
Ruby S, one of our esteemed clients from the real estate industry says: “Low-bar learning. Good videos online, webinars, excellent customer service, and training are the strongest features. They listen to requests for changes in a meaningful way. Of all the template programs I researched, this one is by far the best when looking for assistance with Microsoft Word and Excel template building.”
Our active support center ensures complete customer satisfaction, we have round the clock support to cater to every need of the customer. This makes it easier to deal with any challenge that our clients may encounter since we are just a chat or call away and we understand the problem before offering a solution.
Here’s what another client has to say on G2: “Windward is a small company but they have been excellent at customer support.”
When all is said and done, our G2 accolade is a result of appreciative reviews and ratings from our customers. It is a vote of confidence and appreciation from companies of all sizes that have used Windward and taken their valuable time to give honest reviews about how it has changed the process of document creation within their organization.
“As a large legal firm, we are constantly involved in printing and sending documents to our clients and Windward has proven to be the perfect automation solution, it has saved us time and money, not to mention the consistency it enables in all our documents,” says another customer.
Windward is designed for every organization, big or small. It enables error-free efficiency in your document generation process.

The Generate Code tool in the designer allows you to open an existing template and, with a click of a button, automatically create a window with the code needed to run your current template with all data sources and variables. Simply copy this code and paste into your application's code in the appropriate place. You now have Windward integrated into your application.
You only need to do this once. You do not do this for each template. Instead, where it has explicit files for the template and output, change that to parameters you pass to this code. Same for the parameters passed to Windward. This example uses explicit values to show you what to substitute in where.
Any pivot tables in an XLSX template are carried over to the XLSX output. The ranges in the pivot ranges are adjusted to match the generated output. So your final XLSX will have pivot tables set as expected in the generated file.
This makes creating an XLSX workbook with pivot tables trivial.
In an imported sub-template, if its properties for a style (ex. Normal) differ from the parent template's properties for the style, the use in the sub-template can be set to either use the properties in the sub-template, or the properties in the parent.
You set to retain when you don't want the child template's styling to change when imported. You set to use the parent when you want the styling of the imported template to match the styling in the parent.
Any explicit styling is always retained. This only impacts styling set by styles.
Tags can be placed in text boxes. Including linked text boxes. This gives you the ability to set the text in a textbox from your data.
Tags can be placed in shapes & smart art. This gives you the ability to set the text in a shape from your data.
When generating HTML output, the engine can either write bitmaps as distinct files the generate HTML references, or it can embed the images in the HTML providing a single file for the output.
You can place tags in pretty much any part of a template, including in footnotes & endnotes.
Any parts of a DOCX or XLSX (PowerPoint does not support this) file that are locked in the template, will be locked the same in the output.
If a font used in the template does not exist on the server generating a report, the font to substitute can be specified.
In addition, if a glyph to be rendered does not exist in the font specified, you can specify the replacement font. This can be set distinctly for European, Bi-Directional, and Far East fonts.
If you need this - it's essential. And if you don't need it, it's irrelevant.
Windward enables you to build a document by applying multiple datasources to the template simultaneously. When Windward is merging the data into a template, it processes the template by handling each tag in order, and each tag pulls from different datasources. (As opposed to processing all of one datasource, then processing the next.)
This allows the select tag to use data from another datasource in its select. For example, if you are pulling customer information from one data source, you can then pull data from the sales datasource using the customer ID of the customer presently processing to pull the sales information for that customer. If you're interested in patching together your data from multiple datasources, read this post on our blog.
