The Challenge
MonteVista Homes, a family-owned home building company based in Oregon, was facing a significant challenge in its operations. The construction work, being highly technical, required a collective effort from all workers to achieve set targets. However, there was a disparity in the knowledge base of workers, which hindered uniformity in operations. The company recognized the need for Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), but their initial attempts at manual documentation did not yield the desired results. The team created SOPs on loose-leaf documents and desk manuals for every position in the organization, but these were not being utilized effectively. The manuals were outdated and difficult to update, leading to inefficiencies in the workflow.
The Solution
The company found a solution in SweetProcess, a software that simplifies and improves workflow. Despite initial doubts about the security of online documentation, MonteVista Homes found that SweetProcess kept their files safe and secure. The software also allowed the company to download their documents at any time, ensuring that their hard work would not be lost. With SweetProcess, MonteVista Homes was able to create and update SOPs with ease. The software also facilitated seamless employee onboarding, drastically reducing the duration of the process. It served as an accessible reference point for employees, enabling them to work with little or no supervision. SweetProcess's customer support was instrumental in guiding the team on how to use videos for training, further streamlining their workflow.
