⭐ Purpose ⭐ This app allows users to view Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) based on the URL they visit.
In a company you can have thousands of SOPs. But with this app you get:
✔️ A SOP library
✔️ A fast and easy to access search option
✔️ A user management system for security
✔️ Easy maintenance
✔️ To record processes with one click
‼️ But the most important feature is this ↓
🔹Gear will show you relevant SOPs based on the URL you are visiting. That way you will avoid clutter and increase the chance that people will consult your SOP.
Example:
Let's say a colleague of mine is ill, and i have to send out our newsletter. I go to mailchimp.com and now The Gear Icon will change to a "1️" meaning one SOP is available at this specific domain. No need to go though a ton of SOP's, just consult the one that Gear provides you with.
📩A small message to anyone reading this:
I am absolutely delighted, that you have found my extension.
I made Gear as a solution to a problem I faced in my own company. SOPs (Standard Operation Procedures) or processes, are key to the successful scalability of any company.
It allows colleagues to step up and help solve a "job to be done", when another colleague is ill, on vacation or on maternity leave.
I believe it is the mark of a good company to solve the jobs at hand, without having to disturb the person who is not at work.
But SOPs have a ton of issues. Many of which pertains to creating and maintaining them.
The first problem we face is:
The chance of an SOP being created or updated will increase with the lowering of barriers.
With Gear, you can easily create and maintain SOPs from your browser without having to disrupt your workflow, in order to find the place where your company keep the SOPs and then look for the right one to update.
Just click the icon, and see the available SOPs attached to the url you are currently on, create or click edit to update!
But SOPs have another problem, well 3 problems actually. I call them "The ABC's of SOP's"
🔤 Awareness: Most employees wont know that an SOP exists, so how can they follow it!
🔤 Barriers: Even if they know it exists, they might not know where to find it or what it is called!
🔤 Change: And if they know it exists and they think they already know all the steps, they wont check to see if an update/change has been made.
Gear fixes all of this 🔥
🔹The icon lets you know if a SOPs is relevant for the current URL you are on.
🔹Gear will show you a list of select SOPs that pertains only to the work you are doing, by checking the URL you are currently on.
🔹Gear will let you know if a SOP has been updated since the last time you read it. Asking you to go and read the changes.
And that it. A potential solution to one of the most boring problems. Because an SOP really only works if it makes your job easier.
Thanks so much for using Gear.

- (2022-10-27) Thomas Mortensen: Before Gear we had tons of hard to find Google Docs with our processes and guidelines. With Gear the guides are right there when you need them, and everyone is actually following the correct processes now. This is very beneficial for a semi-remote team like ours
