Org chart software is a software tool that allows users to graphically represent their organizations’ hierarchical structure and illustrate the relationships between various employees, departments, and functions. It can source employee data from documents, such as Excel spreadsheets and CSV files, as well as internal tools, such as [human resources (HR)](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/) and [workforce management](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/workforce-management-software-comparison/) software, to automatically create well-defined organization charts.

Most org chart tools have an access control mechanism, which allows users to set data access permissions for protecting sensitive employee data from misuse and unauthorized access.

The software can automate the process of updating user roles—in case of promotions or resignations—so that the organization chart is up to date at all times.

## What type of buyer are you?

Before you start evaluating software options, you'll want to know which buyer category you belong to. Most buyers fall into one of the below categories.

-   **Small and midsize businesses:** These buyers usually belong to organizations with less than 250 employees. As they have fewer employees, their organization charts are less complex and require simple design elements and templates. Org chart software with standard features, such as data visualization, data import/export, and customizable templates, is recommended for such buyers. They can choose to upgrade later when their requirements increase.
    
-   **Enterprises:** These buyers mostly belong to large organizations that have over 250 employees and multiple office locations. The organization charts they need to create are complex and have various inter-team and inter-departmental relationships to clearly define the roles of multiple employees. These buyers should look for a fully featured org chart software that offers advanced design and visualization elements (drag-and-drop interface, custom colors, etc.), collaboration support, integration with existing HR software systems, and employee database management.
