What happens to your business the day your best person quits?

Every process, every policy, every "wait, how do we do that again?" — documented in one place your team can actually use. Trainual turns what's in your head into a system that runs without you.

You are the bottleneck. And you know it.

You can't take a real vacation. Every new hire means three weeks of you explaining the same things you explained to the last one. When someone leaves, a piece of the business walks out with them — and you find out which piece six weeks later, when something breaks and nobody knows why.

It isn't that your team is bad. It's that nothing is written down. The business lives in your head, and heads don't scale.

  • New hires take months to get useful, because "training" means shadowing whoever's least busy
  • The same questions get asked every week, and you answer them every week
  • When your best person is out, work stops
  • You've said "I'll document that eventually" for two years

Undocumented isn't free. It's just billed quietly.

It never shows up as a line item. It shows up as the six months before a new hire is worth what you pay them, and the Tuesday your best person calls in sick.

42%

of what your business knows isn't written down anywhere. It's in someone's head. That someone can quit.

5.3 hrs

per week. Spent hunting for information that should have taken nine seconds to find — or rebuilding something that already existed.

20.5%

of new hires are gone inside 90 days. Nearly half regret taking the job in week one — before they've learned enough to be useful.

6.5 mos

How long it takes the average new hire to fully ramp when they're piecing it together from scattered notes and whoever's free to answer.

Structured onboarding improves new-hire retention by 82% and lifts early productivity by 70%. Not because the people are different. Because they're not guessing.

Get it out of your head. Once.

Trainual is where your business writes itself down — every process, role, and policy in one searchable place your team actually opens.

You don't have to write it. Just do it once.

Hit record, do the task the way you always do it, talk through it. That's the SOP. There's AI drafting too if you'd rather type — but the recorder is why this doesn't die in week two like every other documentation project you've started.

New hires onboard themselves

Content gets assigned automatically by role, department, or location. The new person opens their account and their training is already there, in order, with due dates. You're not in the room.

Stop being the search bar

Anyone can ask a plain-English question — "how do we handle a refund?" — and get the answer pulled straight from your own documents, with a link to where it came from. Same question, asked by the fourth person this month, answered without you.

Plan the handoff before you need it

The Delegation Planner maps out who takes what when a role changes or someone goes on leave — including the training that goes with it. The thing you're afraid of becomes a checklist.

Plus version history, e-signatures for policy sign-offs, and quizzes when you need to know they actually read it — not just clicked through.

Three steps. Not a six-month project.

1

Start with what's already in your head

Pick the process you explain most often. Write it down once. That's step one — and it's the one that hurts least.

2

Assign it to the people who need it

Everyone gets their role, their processes, their policies. Nobody gets a 200-page handbook they'll never open.

3

Stop repeating yourself

Next time someone asks, you point instead of explain. Next hire onboards themselves. Next vacation, the business runs.

"I don't have time to document everything."

Nobody does. That's why the business is still in your head.

So you don't start from a blank page and you don't do it alone. There are 500+ pre-built templates, so the process you've been dreading is already outlined by someone else. There's screen recording, so the SOP is just you doing the job once, out loud. And if you want a person: Trainual's specialists will map your account, plan the rollout, and migrate your existing content with you — with the goal of having it loaded and ready inside ten business days.

Ten days. Not the six-month rollout you're picturing.

"My SOPs will just go stale like everything else."
Every document gets an owner and an automatic reminder to verify it's still accurate. Version history means you can see what changed and roll it back. The decay is the default everywhere else — here it's the thing the software is watching for.
"My team won't actually use it."
They'll use it if it's easier than asking you. Plain-English search — "how do we handle a refund?" — answers from your own documents, on their phone, in nine seconds. Asking a manager and waiting is the slow option now.
"This is going to take months to roll out."
Trainual is built for businesses your size, not for enterprises with a training department. Deployment is measured in days and weeks. The implementation team's target is your content loaded in ten business days.
"It's just another monthly expense."
One failed hire runs about $50,000 — up to three times their base salary. That's the thing Trainual is preventing, and it only has to prevent it once.
