SwipeGuide provides knowledge sharing, training, and troubleshooting—without requiring workers to leave their posts. Seeking to revolutionize the way people create, share, and follow work instructions, SwipeGuide’s desk-less training platform enables companies to digitize their procedures effortlessly with job aids. These job aids are user-friendly digital tools designed to assist workers in performing tasks efficiently and accurately and include step-by-step instructions, troubleshooting guides, visual manuals, checklists, and interactive tutorials.
With our continued commitment to supporting our customers as they navigate the ever-changing landscape of the industrial workforce, Indeavor is excited to announce its critical partnership with SwipeGuide.
The Indeavor + SwipeGuide partnership will allow facilities to leverage Indeavor labor scheduling and SwipeGuide’s job aids to give frontline workers the help and support needed to be successful in their roles.
Foster Efficiency Consistently
By integrating SwipeGuide’s job aids with Indeavor’s automated labor scheduling capabilities, facilities can ensure that frontline workers always have access to the right instructions and support. This leads to increased productivity and reduced errors, such as on-site accidents.
Schedulers and frontline managers can assess who has the right skills for tasks, jobs, and shifts in SwipeGuide. With an integration into Indeavor, they can leverage skills from SwipeGuide and create labor schedules and job assignments in minutes. And if a worker forgets a key task or has a question? By scanning a QR code or leveraging the app that allows for offline access, employees can equip themselves with work instructions, checklists, standard operating procedures (SOPs), how-to videos, and more.
Bridge Skill Gaps
Connecting needed SwipeGuide job aids with Indeavor enables on-shift, job-dependent knowledge transfers, empowering workers to develop new skills and competencies on the job. The broader the range of skills and competencies among your employees, the larger the pool of talent available to fill unexpected vacancies. In the event of an absence, schedulers and frontline managers will have a more extensive selection of capable individuals to choose from.
Reduce Dependencies
No more institutional knowledge here! Ensuring that critical information is documented and accessible to everyone—rather than being held exclusively by certain individuals or groups within an organization—mitigates the risk of disruption. By documenting and sharing knowledge, organizations can reduce their reliance on specific individuals who may possess valuable information but could leave the company or become unavailable due to various reasons.
Facilities will also reduce their dependency on paper—no more old-school binders and laminated sheets for tracking your critical job aids. Indeavor removes paper from scheduling processes, while SwipeGuide gets rid of using paper for job aids and critical machine information. Keeping everything in one centralized digital location streamlines access to essential information, whether you are in the office, working remotely, or on the go.
Automate Operational Excellence
Facilities can seamlessly align workforce allocation with specific task requirements and skill sets. This integration empowers schedulers and managers to make data-driven decisions, ensuring that the right personnel with the appropriate skills are assigned to tasks or shifts efficiently. As a result, organizations can optimize workforce utilization, minimize downtime, and improve overall operational performance.
In fact, SwipeGuide boasts a 31% skill improvement of frontline workers, resulting in a staggering 61% reduction in product errors. Ongoing training has also been demonstrated to help reduce employee turnover and absenteeism. According to a report from Gallup, companies that have actively interested and dedicated employees see 41% lower absenteeism rates and 17% higher productivity. The report also found that an engaged workforce has a 59% lower turnover rate.
Better Together: SwipeGuide + Indeavor
SwipeGuide and Indeavor’s joint capabilities offer a comprehensive solution for facilities to achieve operational excellence while nurturing a skilled and empowered workforce poised for success.
