Tools for operational process standardization (SOPs)
To standardize operational processes (SOPs), tools like Jestor, Process Street, Notion, and Trainual are essential — they ensure the team follows the "correct way" to execute tasks, transforming paper manuals into mandatory digital checklists.
The "Manual nobody reads" problem
Many companies create incredible PDFs or Docs with company rules (Standard Operating Procedures), but nobody reads them. Result:
- Service quality varies depending on who is serving.
- Silly mistakes happen due to forgetfulness.
- New employee training is slow and disorganized.
Modern standardization isn't about documenting; it's about executing.
Types of Tools
- Notion / Google Docs: Good for writing the manual (Wiki). Bad for ensuring it was followed.
- Trainual: Focused on training and onboarding (teaching the process).
- Process Street: Focused on checklists. You create a list and the employee ticks boxes.
How Jestor ensures standardization
Jestor goes beyond the checklist. It makes standardization inevitable.
In Jestor, the process is the software itself.
- You don't say "Remember to attach the contract." You create a mandatory "Contract Attachment" field. The employee cannot proceed to the next step without doing it.
- The business rule (e.g., maximum 10% discount) is locked in the system.
This turns standardization into something natural, not bureaucratic.
