Case Study: Design Pickle achieves rapid, consistent scaling of remote teams with Trainual

Scaling Remote Teams Faster By Ditching Docs

Design Pickle, a flat‑rate subscription graphic design company with hundreds of remote employees, needed a way to scale onboarding and standardize processes as it grew from a small founding team. To move beyond disorganized Google Docs and create a single, structured knowledge base for culture, systems, and role training, Design Pickle adopted Trainual’s training and process documentation platform.

By implementing Trainual, Design Pickle centralized all documentation, enabled consistent global onboarding, and empowered teams to create and follow standardized processes, supporting rapid growth (doubling year over year and expanding from a team of three to dozens and then hundreds). Trainual also let them push urgent updates worldwide within an hour, track completion, and dramatically reduce founder‑led training—delivering measurable improvements in speed, accountability, and consistency.
