These companies already trust FlowShare to create guides that run their business

In the end, we saved a lot of money simply because we were able to speed up the documentation process.

#### Daniel F.
ERP Business Process Manager

When I used to work on a relatively complex step-by-step documentation, it took me around two days. With FlowShare, it's less than an hour and a half. It doesn't get much easier than that.

#### Thorsten Raeker
Head of IT, Bauvista

With FlowShare I only need 10-15 % of the time it took me in the old days with Paint and stuff.

#### Andreas K.
IT Project Manager

Even when I had little time, the documentation was done within 20 seconds. And in such a way that colleagues and other employees could also make good use of it.

#### Philipp Belau
CEO, BDAE Group

## The way companies document their processes is dead

##### \*Here’s what’s happening in most companies:

#### No standard process for documentation

Everyone documents their processes as it suits them (if ever) on TOP of day-to-day business.

#### Processes only exists in their heads.

No one really knows how a particular process works in the company, because it has never been documented.

#### They have a migration project and no clue how to document hundreds of new processes

They need to document hundreds of processes during a software rollout (ERP, CRM, …) but don’t really know how without blowing the timeline and budget of the migration project.

#### It takes them weeks to create guides

They spend weeks creating guides manually with snipping tools, Word, etc. or complex authoring tools.

#### They don't even start documenting

Most employees **don’t even start documenting** because it’s so tedious and time consuming.

#### Their guides are quickly outdated

Due to updates their documentations or training videos are quickly outdated and no longer usable.

#### There is no consistency

All the company's manuals look completely different - sometimes the image takes a whole page, sometimes it’s the size of a stamp, branding is off.

#### Waste budget on additional training

**They have to hire expensive trainers** due to insufficient user manuals just to refresh software skills.

#### It takes weeks to onboard new employees

New hires are not productive when looking over (or tapping on) the shoulder of current employees, who also are kept away from their actual job.

#### No one watches the training videos

They use videos to train their staff, but employees come up with questions constantly showing that no one watches the trainings.

### Doing documentation doesn’t mean you have to take the team away from their current responsibilities, write out every single step of the process and waste hours of your valuable time to keep up or up to date.

## There's a better way to create documentations how to manuals process guides work instructions

With FlowShare you go through your task as you normally would and it creates a step-by-step guide including screenshots, arrows and text instructions. It documents your entire process as you do it.

## Here's how it works in FlowShare

### 1\. Open up FlowShare and start any task.

As you do the task, FlowShare documents every click, input screen and action you take in the background.

FlowShare will capture and record anything you see on your screen in any application, web browser or desktop.

### 2\. Bulk edit and adjust your new process.

When you’re done, you can review and revise every step.

Bulk crop your guide to create more focus. Blur hundreds of images at once to hide sensitive data. Add and move markups, edit texts …

### 3\. Publish and share your new process.

When you are ready to share your new guide, select the format you want to export to: PDF, PPTX, DOCX, HTML or PNG.

FlowShare automatically formats the new guide with your company brand, logo, colors and fonts – so you can share it with your colleagues or customers!

You can update your process at any time and re-export with changes.

## With FlowShare you'll be able to

#### Establish a standard documentation process

Your staff will be more willing to document their processes with a much faster way to do it. Your staff just goes click, click, click through a process and get a detailed step-by-step guide. It can't get any easier.

#### Speed up your (manual) documentation process

You will be able to do 5 guides in the time it used to take you to do just one.

#### Increase the chance of a successful software rollout

By being able to capture hundreds of processes at scale and provide step-by-step instructions for everyone involved.

#### Never have to manually document (ever!) again

Go through your process and FlowShare documents everything in the time it actually takes you to do the task.

#### Gain control of your processes

Get a bird's eye view over all your processes by actually getting them out of your employees heads out for everyone to see.

#### Keep the know-how in your company

Don't waste time and money trying to find forgotten internal processes through workshops, external trainers and consultants.

#### Make all your guides look uniform

FlowShare automatically formats every document that's created into your branding, no matter who creates the process.

#### Easily keep up with updates

FlowShare makes it easy to quickly adjust a guide and be done with it, instead of having to capture it all over again.

#### Create step-by-step guides that everyone understands

Your Flows are always available even if your staff doesn’t have internet access. And easy enough to follow for those who lack computer skills.

#### Reduce onboarding time - reduce shoulder taps.

Make your new hires learn the ropes in days without keeping veteran staff away from their responsibilities.

## FAQ

How much time will I really save?

If your current documentation process consists of different tools and many manual steps, FlowShare can reduce the amount of time it takes for your team to create the documents by least 75 % on average. Let’s see for yourself how much time you can save with our ROI calculator.

Will FlowShare help me if I hate doing documentation?

If you suffer from documentation writer’s block, then yes – FlowShare will get you started as the documentation is done for you while you work. You don’t need to worry about capturing steps individually and putting together a document – FlowShare does that for you! We won’t lie there is still some effort involved, but it’s reduced by at least 80% according to our customers’ experience.

Is FlowShare safe to install?

FlowShare does not make any changes in system directories and only changes the registry in its own directories. Although the Windows Smart Defender might pop up during the installation process (it is a regular procedure) FlowShare is perfectly safe and should withstand even the strictest IT-regulations.

We have specifically put together a document for your IT to rule out any questions about risks: Technical information about FlowShare.

If you still can’t install Flowshare due to security policies in your company, write us an email and we’ll send you a zip archive you can start FlowShare from and still get your free trial!

Is FlowShare safe to use in terms of privacy?

Yes, once installed, FlowShare is like a black box :-). It is a completely locally operated and operable desktop software. Your captured processes and exported guides remain on your device. You alone decide with whom you share your recorded Flows or exported guides.

Is there a Mac or Linux version?

Not currently and not planned. Unfortunately, we can’t help Mac or Linux users. Check out our article on documentation tools that also run on Mac.

What if I am not good with tech?

Senior citizens use FlowShare to transfer their know-how. If they can do it, so can you.

Can I create videos with FlowShare?

No, FlowShare is not a screencast tool. If you are doing training videos for software – you might consider trying FlowShare as you get the guide in the same time it would take you to capture a video plus you can easily update it without having to re-record it again. A video is outdated as soon as it’s recorded and while you have to re-do the entire video if a process is updated – you can easily update any process in FlowShare.

Will FlowShare work with my application?

Our custom TrackingEngine that FlowShare is built on allows us to access even the most customized applications that run on windows and in browsers.

While we can’t promise a 100 percent compatibility with ALL applications around the world, we can promise that during your trial you can find out within minutes if FlowShare can automatically capture the button and element descriptions from your application. The only requirement on your device is a 64-bit system.

How big are the documents created with FlowShare?

Size should not be an issue unless you are using a device from the 90’. Compared to a 500 mb video you would have of your process, you’ll have a 20 page PDF guide.

The file size depends on

- your screen resolution
- number of steps in your guide
- chosen export format

For reference:. a 200-steps exported Word document at HD resolution is approximately 19 MB in size.

Does FlowShare make any changes to my system after installation?

No. FlowShare does not make any changes in system directories and only changes the registry in its own directories. The introduction of FlowShare in your company should therefore succeed smoothly even under strict IT-regulations.
