WHO ARE WE?
We are Swipeguide. We are on a mission to reduce waste, spare resources for better use, and save the world from useless paper instructions. Imagine working on a busy production line and relying upon outdated, inadequate work instructions. PDF and paper instructions are a thing of the past. We're developing simple, intuitive cloud software to empower factory teams to perform better in their jobs and scale knowledge with digital standard work. Our Swipeguide platform enables global companies like Coca-Cola, Heineken, and PepsiCo to build and share visual step-by-step digital work instructions with their workforce on any device. And yes, it also feels good to enable them to use less paper and save the trees๐ณ! We all know that a digital future is unavoidable, and we provide the software essential for digital transformation in manufacturing. And it's working. We had five people in 2016. Today, after โฌ5mn funding in March 2021, and a busy 2022 of signing up more customers,ย we have thirty Swipees, 100,000+ platform users in 89 countries worldwide, a high customer retention rate and an inclusive, continuously improving culture.
OUR TEAM OF SWIPEES
- Although we have developed into a remote-first organization, our offices (Amsterdam and Minneapolis) are available for Swipees to attend each day (totally optional). One thing to note, the CS team loves to meet for lunch once a week, so you'd be a good fit for the team if you like to have a bit of both (office smiles, remote focus time and remote team building is all possible at SwipeGuide);
- If you want to be at the office - we work in a bustling startup hub B.2 in Amsterdam with 300+ other startups. You'll see the usual ping pong table, foosball, arcade machines, and PS4s everywhere. But, there are also charming places to sit in the sun, break-out areas, and ambitious, inspired people as far as the eye can see (when everyone returns!);
- You'll soon meet the road cyclist, the yoga lover, the guy with a 3D printer, the ex-chef, the person to count on in an emergency, the social butterfly, the footie enthusiast, the gamer, the volleyball player, and someone who owns hundreds of sneakers;
- We like to fail (it's how we learn), and in our bi-weekly "SwipeUp" sessions, we share our f*** ups (failures) and learn together - as the whole company;
- Our values are at the heart of everything we do; we strive to enable Swipees to develop their potential, showcase their authentic selves, and engage in a culture of inclusion.ย
