Swap sticky notes for information that sticks

You can’t run a 4,500-SKU store on manual notes and disjointed sources. That’s why Zipline starts by bringing everything into one retail communications platform. And it gets easier from there. 

Frontline employees can find anything they need, right in their hand, in a resource library customized to their role. Deep search, tailored content, and AI support instantly serves on-the-job answers to merge learning and doing together.

The fastest way to get any answer, any time, from anywhere

The Zipline team put dedicated focus into making search work—quickly, granularly, and accurately—because it’s the gateway to everyday learning.

Meanwhile, AI sidekick Zippy is ready and waiting to deliver role- and location-specific information the second it’s called for.

No clutter, distractions, or time wasted

If it doesn’t apply, it doesn’t show up. Employees won’t have to sift through irrelevant content because everything meant for them is automatically filtered.

Add in access levels and targeting by role, store type, region, and more, and you’ve got a streamlined resource library that works as well on the floor as it does on (virtual) paper.

Content employees will love—and information they’ll retain

We’ve all felt our eyes glaze over reading an employee handbook. For information to stick, it has to be engaging.

That’s why Zipline Resource Libraries have media-rich capabilities anyone can work with. In just a few clicks, publishers can build branded pages, embed videos, add widgets, and design content employees will actually enjoy. And remember because of it.

Knowledgeable teams are empowered teams. Zipline gives every employee the information they need to do their best work, with effects that reverberate throughout the company. 

Content is easier to publish and update, at scale. Onboarding is faster and more impactful. Physical binders are replaced with mobile-accessible content, eliminating associated paper costs. Readership rates make it easy to see who’s checked off what, and which content is actually resonating.

Most importantly, leaders and frontline employees have a knowledge base they can rely on.
