Onboard New Employees in Days, Not Weeks
Upload a process video and get a step-by-step SOP in minutes. Assign the SOPs as a training path. New hires work through it on their own, in their own language, and sign off when they are done.
How do you train new operators without shadowing?
Record your best operator doing each task once, turn each video into short numbered steps, and give new hires those steps on a phone at the machine. Shadowing then becomes a final check instead of the whole method. In SOPX, AI turns each recording into a step-by-step SOP in minutes. Put the SOPs in a training path, assign it to the new hire, and see when they sign off on each one.
The problem
The Problem
Shadowing ties up your best workers
Without documented procedures, onboarding depends on senior staff being pulled off productive work for weeks, instead of new hires following a visual SOP on their own.
Every trainer teaches it differently
New hires learn different methods depending on who trained them, because there is no single published SOP to follow. Quality varies across shifts and teams as a result.
Poor onboarding drives early turnover
Employees who feel lost in their first weeks quit. Companies lose up to 20% of new hires within 45 days due to inadequate onboarding.
What changes
How SOPX Helps
50%
faster time to productivity
Self-serve onboarding from day one
Assign a new hire the onboarding training path for their line or department. They work through visual SOPs in order on any device and sign off with a click or a digital signature. You see progress and due dates per person.
100%
training consistency
Identical training on every shift
Every new hire learns the same method, the same way, from one published SOP with a clip and description per step, regardless of location or shift.
50+
languages supported
Native-language procedures from day one
AI translates SOPs into 50+ languages with a side-by-side editor where a bilingual reviewer corrects each step. New hires read procedures in their first language from day one.
How it works
How It Works
01
Record the process
Film your experienced worker performing the task with any phone camera. No script, no studio, and no time off the floor, since it is the job they already do every day.
02
AI generates the SOP
Upload the video. AI extracts each step with a trimmed clip, a title, and a description in under 10 minutes, so the onboarding draft is ready to review instead of written from scratch.
03
Assign the training
Edit the AI draft and publish it. Put the onboarding SOPs in a training path and assign it to the new hire or their team. They get an email, work through each SOP, and sign off. You download a report when you need one.
