Training films

Thirty-four films, recorded against the running product.

The main screens each offer a short narrated film of the work being done in them. Not a storyboard, not a mock-up, not a sales demo left to age. Each was captured by driving the real application, so what you see is what the software does — and they ship inside it, on the screens they are about.

See it before you buy it

Thirty-four films. Nearly three hours. No slides.

Procurement software is bought from screenshots and sold on promises, and the gap between the demo and Tuesday afternoon is where disappointment lives. These close it: each is a recording of the real application, including the parts that refuse.

  • Recorded, not drawnCaptured by driving the running product against a seeded workspace — every figure, refusal and error message on screen is one the software actually produced
  • End to endA need becoming a request. A competition run and awarded. A contract signed, goods received, an invoice matched and paid. And a building procured under the Construction Act
  • Including the awkward partsThe films show the system refusing things: a call-off over its ceiling, a category it will not guess, a payment held with no reason recorded
  • Re-recorded, not patchedWhen the product changes, the film is recorded again from the new build. A walk-through of a screen that no longer exists is worse than none

Where you already are

The film for this screen, in the drawer beside it.

A training library nobody can find is one nobody watches. So the films are not only in a library: each is offered on the screens it is about, in the panel that already answers what that screen is for in your role.

  • ContextualThe stock screen offers the inventory film. Supplier screening offers the fraud film. The contract register offers all four contract films. Matched to the screen you are standing on
  • Beside the workIt opens in the guidance drawer without leaving the page or losing what you have typed
  • Only where one existsThe control appears on screens that have a film, and nowhere else. An icon that is always there but usually does nothing teaches people to stop pressing it
  • One copy, every workspaceThe library is served once from the provider, not copied into each customer's workspace
