Case Study: Ender achieves async-first collaboration across time zones with Almanac

Ender cuts meetings and streamlines async approvals with Almanac

Ender, a competition platform for kids, faced significant challenges in implementing an effective async-first workflow for its fully remote team. The friction of gathering feedback asynchronously often necessitated live meetings, defeating the purpose of their process. This led to a hunt for a specialized documentation solution, which they found with the vendor Almanac.

By implementing Almanac, the Ender team gained a transparent communication architecture with a structured methodology for reviewing and approving documents. The solution provided an Activity Feed to track a document's evolution and tools for comparing versions. This resulted in fewer meetings and messages, increased transparency, and clearer decision-making, allowing the team to truly abide by their "memos over meetings" mantra and spend more time on focused work.
