How Sidekick works

See it in action

Text like you already do

Plain SMS on any phone: texts, photos, voice memos. Nothing to install, no password to forget.

Reach the whole floor

Sidekick handles questions and alerts on its own, and escalates to the right manager the moment it should.

Save tribal knowledge

Sidekick records the know-how in your veterans' heads and learns from every fix, so nothing retires when they do.

The knowledge base

Tribal knowledge, safe from retirement.

Every fix, workaround, and answer is captured into a searchable plant history your company owns, and turned into documents on demand. When a veteran retires, their know-how stays.

Text Sidekick:photos, videos, voice memos in any language

Every issue,
one thread.

Workers report problems in plain language: a broken freezer, a stuck door, a missing SOP. Sidekick triages, opens the work order, and keeps everyone posted in the same thread. No forms, no tickets, no chasing.

Every asset, remembered by name.

Sidekick keeps a living record of every machine, with manuals, service history, and runtime, and schedules preventive maintenance before things break.

Training that meets the floor.

New hires onboard over text: bite-size modules, walkthrough videos, and quizzes delivered in the flow of work. Managers see who’s trained and certified at a glance.

FAQ

Common questions.

No. Sidekick works over plain SMS. Workers text a number the same way they'd text a coworker. There's no app to download, no account to create, and no password to forget. Managers use a web dashboard.
