This enables its AI consultants to learn and recommend what to change in teams, processes, ownership or priorities to eliminate collaboration bottlenecks. We make continuous improvement inevitable.

Imagine if you put onboarding and training your employees on autopilot & suddenly 30% of your time is freed up - it is now possible with how.fm. You can provide your manual workers with a digital trainer for all work-related procedures and drastically reduce the time you spent onboarding and training. What using our digital coach means for your managers and your business: • Save time: the manager can be freed up from onboarding and training. • Invest working hours well: they can use the time saved on other important tasks like growing the business.​ • Save money: more productivity, fewer mistakes, empowered employees and freed up time results in significantly reduced costs. • Ignite your business: there is space to think and have better ideas for growth.​ About the how-to content: • Ownership: it is all yours and you only share it with the users you want to. • Immediately updated: if you want to create a new standard operating procedure or change one of the existing ones, you can do it directly in your private dashboard and it is automatically, and immediately, updated for all users. • Multi-language: we support most languages and if you need one we dont yet have, just ask us! • Support materials: images, videos, and GIFs can be uploaded directly. • Voice-guided interface: we take care of making it immediately interactive and hands-free for your employees to use straight away.​ Our users report that the team is much happier. Everyone is more focused because they dont have to worry about the how-to, they can totally rely on how.fm supporting them. And for those with a lot of fluctuation, it is great for newbies as well! They ask a lot of questions to the app - that before they never dared to ask more senior employees or managers - so they get up to speed much faster. We love seeing our customers reactions when they use how.fm for the first time. Let us know if you want to see how it works!

Since 2013, WIZZCAD builds the software that builds the cities of today and tomorrow. Engineering & Construction represent an annual $10 trillion industry expected to grow to $ 18 trillion by 2030. As such it is one of the largest sectors of the world economy. However, various studies report that construction has suffered for decades from constant losses of productivity when all the other industries progressed in the same period. One of the main reasons is that construction is clearly identified as the worst-in-class in the adoption of digital technologies to improve its processes. “Build more and better” is the challenge in most parts of the world, in the context of a booming demand for modern housing and offices, for new energy & transportation infrastructures, in the framework of sustainability, cost and quality control. Innovation is also a key driver as Smart Cities and Smart Building emerge as a reality. WIZZCAD has integrated these structural trends and since 2013 build the software that build the cities of today and tomorrow. It offers the Engineering & Construction industry’s most advanced platform, on smartphones, tablets and PC, to digitalize operations processes over the entire lifecycle of buildings, civil works and industrial infrastructures. BIM-native and data-driven, the WIZZCAD solution allows owners, contractors and construction managers to cooperate securely and efficiently in order to plan, build and maintain construction projects in 3D as the solution allows to create and deliver a digital twin. Our engineers have embedded the best technology of advanced analytics to help decision makers and projects managers. The company has delivered more than 10 000 projects, to the french Construction, Engineering and Real Estate industry, including most Tier1 players, like Vinci Group, Bouygues Group, Eiffage and Engie.
