About The Customer
The Life Coach School is a B2C company operating in the personal development industry. Established in 2007, the company has 12 full-time employees and offers a monthly membership program that teaches clients how to coach themselves, manage their minds, and control their thoughts to create the results they want in their lives. They also offer a coach certification program for individuals who wish to become life coaches. The company operates remotely and has set a goal to make $100 million in revenue by 2028.
The Challenge
The Life Coach School, a B2C company in the personal development space, faced significant challenges in training and onboarding its remote workforce. The company, which has 12 full-time employees, experienced difficulties due to a lack of formalized procedures and communication issues. The knowledge held by team members was often not documented, leading to loss of processes when an employee left the company. This issue was further exacerbated by a high turnover rate. As the company grew rapidly, employees were given more tasks, but the underlying issues remained unresolved. The company tried to systemize by creating process videos for every task, but this approach had its own drawbacks. It required team members to watch five- to 10-minute videos for every process they wanted to perform, leading to a significant time cost due to the lack of written documentation.
The Solution
The Life Coach School found a solution in SweetProcess, a platform that allowed them to organize their process videos and add written documentation. Despite initial skepticism due to the effort required to move all their processes from Basecamp to SweetProcess, the team was convinced of its benefits once they saw its capabilities. The company was able to maintain their video processes while adding step-by-step checklists for simple procedures, saving significant time. They also introduced a 'narrative' for every product they sell, detailing the customer's journey and the steps the employee needs to take during the process. The Life Coach School implemented a 30-, 60-, and 90-day delegation process for new hires, allowing them to gradually take on more responsibility in creating and following processes. This approach helped keep the company cohesive and ensured everyone could fall back on the documentation.

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.

Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.

3M Gains Real-Time Insight with Cloud Solution
The company has a long track record of innovative technology solutions. For example, 3M helps its customers optimize parking operations by automating fee collection and other processes. To improve support for this rapidly expanding segment, 3M needed to automate its own data collection and reporting. The company had recently purchased the assets of parking, tolling, and automatic license plate reader businesses, and required better insight into these acquisitions. Chad Reed, Global Business Manager for 3M Parking Systems, says, “With thousands of installations across the world, we couldn’t keep track of our software and hardware deployments, which made it difficult to understand our market penetration.” 3M wanted a tracking application that sales staff could use to get real-time information about the type and location of 3M products in parking lots and garages. So that it could be used on-site with potential customers, the solution would have to provide access to data anytime, anywhere, and from an array of mobile devices. Jason Fox, Mobile Application Architect at 3M, upped the ante by volunteering to deliver the new app in one weekend. For Fox and his team, these requirements meant turning to the cloud instead of an on-premises datacenter. “My first thought was to go directly to the cloud because we needed to provide access not only to our salespeople, but to resellers who didn’t have access to our internal network,” says Fox. “The cloud just seemed like a logical choice.”
