These companies already trust FlowShare to create guides that run their business
In the end, we saved a lot of money simply because we were able to speed up the documentation process.
When I used to work on a relatively complex step-by-step documentation, it took me around two days. With FlowShare, it's less than an hour and a half. It doesn't get much easier than that.
With FlowShare I only need 10-15 % of the time it took me in the old days with Paint and stuff.
Even when I had little time, the documentation was done within 20 seconds. And in such a way that colleagues and other employees could also make good use of it.
Everyone documents their processes as it suits them (if ever) on TOP of day-to-day business.
No one really knows how a particular process works in the company, because it has never been documented.
They need to document hundreds of processes during a software rollout (ERP, CRM, …) but don’t really know how without blowing the timeline and budget of the migration project.
They spend weeks creating guides manually with snipping tools, Word, etc. or complex authoring tools.
Most employees don’t even start documenting because it’s so tedious and time consuming.
Due to updates their documentations or training videos are quickly outdated and no longer usable.
All the company's manuals look completely different - sometimes the image takes a whole page, sometimes it’s the size of a stamp, branding is off.
They have to hire expensive trainers due to insufficient user manuals just to refresh software skills.
New hires are not productive when looking over (or tapping on) the shoulder of current employees, who also are kept away from their actual job.
They use videos to train their staff, but employees come up with questions constantly showing that no one watches the trainings.

FlowShare does not make any changes in system directories and only changes the registry in its own directories.

Our custom TrackingEngine that FlowShare is built on allows us to access even the most customized applications that run on windows and in browsers.
