Challenge

As a global provider of foreign health insurance, BDAE relies on complex digital systems to support its operations. With employees working across different locations and systems evolving over time, introducing new software and database structures created challenges in ensuring everyone could adapt quickly and consistently.

Previously, knowledge transfer depended on manual explanations and traditional tutorials, making it difficult to provide clear, reproducible guidance for all employees. This made onboarding and system transitions slower and less efficient.

No Standardized Knowledge Transfer

Employees across different locations had no consistent way to learn new software. Knowledge depended on manual explanations, making onboarding slower and results uneven across teams.

Time-Consuming, Manual Tutorial Creation

Creating instructions required significant manual effort, writing steps, adding screenshots, formatting guides. This made documentation slow to produce and hard to keep up with during system changes.

Inconsistent Software Adoption

With complex digital systems evolving constantly, there was no reliable way to ensure every employee understood new tools the same way. Instructions were hard to reproduce and scale across departments.

Solution

To support digital transformation and improve knowledge sharing, BDAE introduced FlowShare early on as one of its first users. The tool allows the company to automatically generate step-by-step instructions by capturing user interactions, eliminating the need for manual documentation.

With FlowShare, processes can now be recorded once and shared across teams, making it easier for employees to understand and use new software. This approach removes barriers in creating tutorials and ensures that instructions remain simple, consistent, and easy to follow.

Faster Than Manual

Early Adopter

Results

FlowShare has become an essential tool for enabling knowledge transfer at BDAE. Employees can now learn how to use new systems through clear, structured instructions that are easy to follow and reproduce.

By automating the creation of tutorials, the company has reduced the effort required to document processes while improving clarity and consistency. As a result, employees are better equipped to work with new digital structures, supporting smoother transitions during system changes.

Over time, BDAE has expanded the use of FlowShare beyond initial use cases, successfully involving more teams and departments in the adoption of new software.

“Less time documenting means more bandwidth for higher-value tasks. Cutting documentation overhead directly translates to budget savings.”
