Let Sift keep track for you
Sift is a telemetry stack that offers transformative tools for machine creators to innovate and scale at speed. Built to maximize your time and streamline your workflow, Sift automatically tracks investigations and decisions for you, making traceability inherent to the way you operate - rather than a documentation afterthought.
How does it work?
You’re not alone if traceability is the least addressed portion of your workflow. Typically, it involves using a messy combination of legacy tools and documents to track decisions. Conducting new investigations takes time, requiring that you first dig through various email chains, reread old documents, and reanalyze old historic data. And that data might not even map directly to your current telemetry.
Worst case scenario, you’re not documenting decisions at all, which leads to a serious bottleneck where only one person knows what’s going on. This can cause your best engineers to burn out, leaving your company and your mission highly vulnerable to risk, and your operational tempo will grind to a halt.
By using Sift for your data review, you can significantly simplify the traceability process and let the software do the work for you. There is no need to add notes in later or anything extra. Your data will be accessible and searchable for future use. Sift captures your institutional knowledge automatically throughout the lifecycle of your hardware, and gives your staff the ability to reference actions and discussions later.
Not only will you save time, but your decisions will be more accurately recorded and easier to find. This will speed up your investigations and allow your teams to collaborate efficiently and effectively. You may still need to document other parts of your process for official purposes, but with Sift, no additional effort is needed. Everything is automatically saved and searchable, reducing noise in other platforms like Jira and streamlining your day-to-day workflow.
Speed up your process and let Sift handle the heavy lifting when it comes to traceability.
