Virtual events and webinars have had a busy few years, as trends in remote work were accelerated by Covid-19 and its aftermath. When the pandemic hit, Airmeet already stood out as a leader in online gatherings, and that led to a period of unique challenges.

With a team of employees spread across the globe, Airmeet needed to manage its own remote workforce, ensuring seamless knowledge sharing and collaboration. That's where Slite came in, changing how Airmeet's teams work together and preserve institutional knowledge.

The challenge: Bridging the remote work gap

As a company born in the age of remote work, Airmeet needed a robust solution to capture, organize, and share knowledge across its distributed teams. Nitin Pratap, Director of Operations at Airmeet, recognized early on that traditional documentation methods weren't going to cut it in this new paradigm.

The challenge was clear: find a knowledge management system that could keep pace with Airmeet's rapid growth while fostering collaboration and ensuring that vital information doesn't get lost in the shuffle of day-to-day operations.

The solution: Slite as the central knowledge hub

Airmeet implemented Slite in May 2020, and it quickly became the go-to platform for documentation across various departments, including engineering, success, service, support, product, and sales. Slite's user-friendly interface and powerful features made it an ideal fit for Airmeet's needs.

Pratap highlights the impact of Slite on their workflow:

"If there is no Slite doc, that job is not done. A task with the customer is not completed unless you create a Slite document for it. That's when the job is done because I want them to summarize and reflect on what happened in that call."

Slite's success at Airmeet is driven by some powerful features that have significantly improved the team's ability to collaborate and manage knowledge:

• Effortless discoverability: Once documents are created, Slite's robust search functionality eliminates the frustration of losing information. (As Pratap notes, "It's impossible to find a document in Google Drive.")
• Visual communication via the Sketch tool: Airmeet's teams frequently use the Sketch tool to create visual aids directly within documents, bridging the gap between written and visual communication.
• Seamless content integration: Slite's embedding capabilities support various file types and external tools, ensuring documents are comprehensive resources that include everything the team needs.
• Structured knowledge: Slite's collections and tables features let Airmeet manage their knowledge base logically. It all circles back to being able to quickly access the right information across departments and projects.

Each of these features is meant to drive adoption and efficiency, and they align perfectly with Airmeet's remote-first culture.

The impact

Since implementing Slite, Airmeet has seen significant improvements in team collaboration, knowledge retention, and overall productivity. The platform has become an integral part of their daily operations, serving as the single source of truth for the entire organization.

Pratap highlights how their knowledge base, has helped resolve customer issues and internal disputes.

By centralizing all their knowledge in Slite, Airmeet has created a robust foundation for sustainable growth. The platform ensures that valuable insights and experiences are not lost as the company expands, allowing new team members to quickly get up to speed and contribute effectively.

Looking to the future

As Airmeet continues to grow and evolve, Slite remains at the core of its knowledge management strategy. The platform's continuous innovations and focus on remote collaboration align perfectly with Airmeet's needs and vision for the future.

Pratap sums up the value of Slite with a powerful analogy:

This long-term perspective on knowledge management underscores the lasting impact that Slite has had on Airmeet's operations and culture. As the company continues to lead the way in virtual event technology, Slite will be there, ensuring that every piece of knowledge contributes to building a stronger, more resilient organization.
