I like having to creating procedures and implement them to allow a more efficient process with training, assembly, etc..... Pros I like the ability to zero in on a procedure and ensure the correct way of doing assembly, tasks, what to wear etc... when implemented its great for when questions arise, you have a guide to reference and help answer those questions. It also cuts down on training time because the associate can look through the guide before having to do the physical training. Cons I wish there were more ways the manipulate shapes in the pictures. I should be able to do a curved arrow or manipulate a box if I need too. It can also be difficult when viewing on an iPad. sometimes when you press for the next slide, it will skip a slide and move two slides forward which can be difficult when training Review Source R Reviewer brewing operator Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "swipe guide implementation and usage review" December 21, 2022 5.0 it makes my work much more ease and very help full interims of securing my document Pros it is easy to use and helps to get all procedures, operating standards and polices at one and also helps to secure our file Cons integration with other apps is not that much Review Source R Reviewer Process and Data Analytics Manager Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Connected workers digital solution " November 11, 2022 4.0 Attentive to customer needs.
