Case Study: Forbes builds trust and transparency with Slab

How Forbes Builds Trust and Transparency Through Documentation

Forbes, the global media company, struggled with scattered documentation across Google Docs, Confluence, Jira, and other tools, making it hard for its remote engineering and product teams to find information, align on work, and onboard efficiently. The team needed a single place to centralize knowledge and improve transparency, collaboration, and searchability.

Slab provided Forbes with a centralized documentation hub that integrated with existing tools and made historical information easy to search, helping the team roll out the platform smoothly. As a result, Forbes improved visibility and trust across its remote team, and onboarding time dropped by more than 66%—from three weeks to one—while documentation and knowledge sharing became part of everyday work.
