Reduced time-to-effectiveness.

Thermon wanted the ability to utilize their own employees for essential kitting operations for the short term. Our successful trial led to an outstanding ROI in terms of Thermon’s in-house kitting operations.

  • During their trial with the SwipeGuide platform - they were able to reduce their regular training cycle by half. 

  • Kitting cycle time reduction: 4 minutes 30 seconds to 2 minutes 15 seconds

Better crowdsourced standards.

Our collaboration enabled Thermon to create more effective digital standards by giving supervisors the ability to create highly visual, step-by-step, SOPs at the line with mobile editing.
