As director of operations at Forensic Analytical Consulting Services Inc., Kevin Trapp is responsible for ensuring efficiency and consistency in the organization. Maintaining consistency across the organization became a challenge as they began to expand to multiple locations.

Although they had existing standard operating procedures (SOP), the SOPs fell short of streamlining their workflow. Employees would rather not use them due to their complexity. It became apparent to Kevin that they needed a better system.

He commenced on a search for the right system and discovered SweetProcess. The operations at the organization have not been the same ever since.

According to Kevin, SweetProcess has been a gamechanger in the company. He tells us how the system has enhanced growth and employee efficiency in the company.

The Biggest Pain Point of Dependency 

The concept of systematization was not alien to the team at FACS. As stated earlier, they had SOPs in PDF files, but nobody was looking at them. The SOPs were buried in folders in their servers. Employees who needed help with their tasks would rather ask Kevin about it than check the documented processes because they were not helpful. 

“In a previous world, we were using PDF files for documenting SOPs. I guess the fact that we were doing it was a good thing, but the challenge was it would just sit on our server, buried in a folder somewhere. We would refer to it in emails, but frankly, I was confident that nobody was actually looking at it.”
