L2L, a Salt Lake City-based workforce productivity platform for the manufacturing industry, has acquired SwipeGuide, a European provider of mobile-first frontline training and visual job aids for the manufacturing workforce.
“SwipeGuide enhances L2L’s training and skills management capabilities, offering an intuitive solution for capturing and distributing critical operational knowledge on the factory floor in a collaborative way," L2L said in a release.
With the addition of Amsterdam-based SwipeGuide to its product portfolio, L2L said it is better positioned to support its customers’ frontline training and upskilling efforts — a need underscored by the ongoing shortage of skilled manufacturing employees, the company said.
“SwipeGuide adds tremendous value to the L2L platform,” said L2L CEO John Davagian. “Now, our customers can reap the benefits not only of actionable manufacturing data at their fingertips but also a powerful frontline training solution that helps every worker perform like a seasoned pro. This combination is a huge step forward for connected workforce technology.”
“I’m proud that SwipeGuide is renowned for developing simple and collaborative applications that help frontline teams excel,” said SwipeGuide’s founder and CEO, Willemijn Schneyder. “By uniting L2L and SwipeGuide, we’re creating a single, powerful platform that enables every frontline employee to drive better business decisions, perform at their best, and remove the stigma from skilled trades. Simply put, with the new platform, customers can easily digitize and orchestrate who needs to do what, where, when, why and how.”
