Cut down on repeat questions by embedding guides directly into your existing tools. Stay fast and secure with built-in redaction for sensitive content and enterprise-level security.UNIQUE FEATURESTrace has several unique selling points that set it apart from competitors in the process documentation space. While we also help users generate step-by-step guides by simply clicking through their workflows, Trace offers three key differentiators:<ol><li>Dynamic Steps – Users can insert conditional or branded steps, allowing for more personalized and flexible guides.</li><li>Dual Formats – Each guide can be viewed as either an interactive video or a traditional document, catering to different user preferences and learning styles.</li><li>Usage-Based Pricing – Instead of a fixed monthly fee, users can choose between a one-time lifetime deal or pay per guide created—making Trace more accessible and cost-effective, especially for teams with lighter usage.</li></ol>THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE<ul><li>🧠 Most process knowledge never gets documented – it stays in people’s heads, making it hard for teams to scale or hand over work smoothly.</li><li>🗂️ What does get documented often goes stale – like onboarding docs that no one revisits after day one.</li><li>😩 Creating guides is a hassle – writing steps in a doc, taking and uploading screenshots, formatting everything…it’s time-consuming and frustrating.</li><li>🌍 But with remote and async work becoming the norm, sharing "how-to" knowledge in a clear, digital way is more crucial than ever.</li><li>🛠️ We need an easier, lighter way to document and share processes – one that doesn’t add to Slack pings or Zoom fatigue. Guides should be easy to make, quick to skim, and always ready when someone needs a reference.</li></ul>That’s why we built Trace—to let you capture and share step-by-step workflows just by clicking through them. One click, and Trace does the rest: clean, visual, and ready to share in seconds.WHO TRACE IS FORTrace is designed for modern, fast-moving teams who need a better way to document and share internal know-how without the overhead of traditional tools.
