6 documents you should stop writing manually
Processes are a part of every business. This means businesses have to make a choice: spend valuable time manually creating step-by-step guides and SOPs, or skip documentation altogether.
Choosing the first option means committing to a tedious, time-consuming effort. Skipping documentation leads to knowledge gaps and, for businesses with compliance requirements, isn't an option.
Fluency simplifies this by automating process documentation. Start today with these six documents you can easily automate with Fluency.

Use Case 1
Software Training
Digital adoption can be challenging. Getting a new tool approved involves navigating salespeople, finance, IT, and legal, which can feel like a daunting task—and that's just the beginning!
Then comes the really difficult part: training staff on the new software. Vendor documentation is often outdated, lacking detail, or not tailored to your specific setup and custom configurations. That's where internal training documentation becomes essential, with contextual step descriptions and annotated screenshots.
How we can make a difference
By focusing on streamlining processes and improving collaboration, we can help teams reclaim those lost hours and redirect energy towards truly impactful work.
This resonates deeply with our first ever mission statement of "making more time for the tasks that matter." We believe that by streamlining processes and enhancing collaboration, we can help shift this balance. This inefficiency isn't just a Fortune 500 problem. While the scale might be different, businesses of all sizes grapple with similar challenges. Our goal is to democratise collaboration and knowledge transfer, with processes at the centre.

Use Case 5
Staff Onboarding
Onboarding new staff can be a daunting task, especially when each department has its own set of processes and tools.
Traditional onboarding methods often involve lengthy manuals (or worse, videos...) and in-person training sessions, which can overwhelm new hires and create a significant management overhead.
Without clear, concise documentation, new employees might feel lost or unsure of how to truly succeed in their new roles.
How we can make a difference
Using Fluency for onboarding provides new team members with a consistent learning experience. Every process is clearly documented with annotated screenshots and detailed step descriptions, making it (hopefully!) nearly impossible to misunderstand or make mistakes.
This approach not only eases the burden on existing staff but also helps new employees feel more confident and prepared from day one.
Many new hires may be hesitant to ask 'simple' questions early on, like "How do I add a new customer to our CRM?"—and these knowledge gaps can quickly widen. Automating process documentation with Fluency addresses this issue by providing clear, accessible instructions right from the start.
