The problem
Why the first week falls flat
High turnover keeps you onboarding constantly
In food production, manufacturing, and logistics, people come and go fast. You are onboarding someone almost every week and rebuilding the same training from scratch each time.
Onboarding ties up your best people
Every new hire pulls a senior worker off productive work to train by shadowing. Your most valuable staff spend their days repeating the basics instead of doing their jobs.
The first week looks different every time
What a new hire learns depends on who is on shift to train them. One person gets a thorough start, the next gets a rushed one, and neither is the same.
A confusing first week drives early turnover
When new hires feel lost and unsupported in their first days, many quit before they ever become productive. The cost of replacing them lands right back on your desk.
What changes
How SOPX Helps
Capture know-how once, AI writes the guide
Film each process once on any phone and AI drafts the full onboarding guide in under 10 minutes. Your senior staff review for a few minutes instead of training by shadowing, so new people learn from a guide rather than a busy colleague.
Every hire gets the same first week
One guide becomes the reference every new person follows, no matter who is on shift. The first week looks the same whether someone starts on a Monday or a Friday, so nobody falls through the cracks.
New hires read it in the language they speak
AI translates an onboarding guide so a new hire can follow it in the language they speak, and a bilingual reviewer can check each step. Everyone starts on equal footing instead of nodding along to words they cannot follow.
In Practice
How SOPX fits an HR manager's week
The onboarding you rebuild for every new hire becomes a reusable guide you set up once.
- 01
Capture the first-week tasks once
Instead of briefing a manager to train the next hire, you film the core processes once so they become a guide every new person can follow.
- 02
Let AI do the writing
By the time you sit down, AI has already drafted the steps. You tidy the wording, add a welcome note, and publish before the next start date.
- 03
Assign one consistent training path
Every new person gets the same training path on day one, with a due date. You check who has signed off and who is behind, without chasing line managers.
- 04
Translate for the next hire who needs it
A new hire speaks another language. You translate the guide and a bilingual reviewer checks each step so they can onboard without falling behind.
How it works
How It Works
Step 1
Film the process
Film an experienced employee doing the task with any phone camera, or import an existing PDF onboarding document.
Step 2
AI builds the onboarding guide
AI splits the recording into steps, each with a trimmed video clip and a written description, in under 10 minutes.
Step 3
Assign it to new hires
Trim clips, edit the text, and add a welcome note. Put the first-week guides in a training path and assign it to each new hire. They get an email, follow it on any device, and sign off. You see progress and download a report.
