Head quarters : Singapore

Revenue: $40.7M per Year Industry: Robotics Industry

Founded:2018 Number of Employee: 160+ Project Timeline: 3 month


Challenge:

They are a global robotics company operating in the US, EU, and APAC, aimed to digitalize and centralize their workflows by transitioning to Notion as their all-in-one workspace. Previously, they relied on Confluence for documentation and Google Sheets for project tracking, leading to fragmented information and inefficiencies in cross-functional collaboration.

Key challenges included:

  • Decentralized documentation across multiple platforms

  • Inefficient knowledge transfer between departments

  • Loss of project progress tracking, especially in long-term projects spanning 6+ months

  • Disjointed collaboration among remote teams in different regions

  • High costs and duplication of workspaces across different teams

The goal was to create a centralized Notion workspace that would enhance efficiency, streamline operations, and make the team self-sufficient in managing internal processes.


Our Approach:

1. Process Audit & Strategy Development

Before implementation, we conducted a comprehensive process audit to understand how each department used their tools. Over a one-month period, we held one-on-one meetings with department heads to analyze workflows, identify inefficiencies, and create a tailored Notion strategy.

Key steps in this phase:

  • Mapped existing processes and identified automation opportunities

  • Developed Notion templates for repeatable workflows

  • Designed forms for structured data collection to reduce manual effort

2. Notion Workspace Implementation & System Design

Company-Level Notion Setup:

To establish a single source of truth, we built a company-wide Notion workspace featuring:

  • Company Teamspace & Homepage with a high-level knowledge base

  • Standardized process templates for SOPs, workflows, and documentation

  • Quarterly & annual performance review dashboards for tracking KPIs

  • Automated Notion forms for HR, finance, and operations, including:

    • Expense claims, feedback forms, job requisitions

    • New hire onboarding & training workflows

    • Approval workflows with integrated Notion buttons

Department-Specific Notion Teampaces:

Each department received a private teamspace within Notion, tailored to their unique needs:

  • Department-level project trackers & task management dashboards

  • Meeting notes database for improved documentation

  • Knowledge bases for cross-functional collaboration

  • Automated workflows for streamlined internal processes

3. Data Migration & Workspace Unification

Prior to the migration, HR and EU teams operated in separate Notion workspaces, leading to redundant accounts and higher costs. We:

  • Unified all teams into a single Notion workspace for better access control

  • Migrated documentation from Confluence & Google Drive to Notion

  • Converted Google Sheets data into structured Notion databases

  • Eliminated duplicate members and reduced operational expenses

4. Notion Training & Change Management

To ensure smooth adoption, we conducted comprehensive Notion training for all employees, covering:

  • Notion basics & advanced features

  • Hands-on practice sessions

  • Department-specific onboarding sessions for workspace familiarization

  • Ongoing optimization based on user feedback

To ensure long-term sustainability, we:

  • Trained a dedicated operations team to build future processes in Notion

  • Provided SOPs and best practices guides for internal reference

  • Enabled IT teams to manage Notion SSO & security settings


Results: A More Efficient & Scalable Digital Workspace

Their transition to Notion resulted in: 50% faster project tracking across departments Eliminated data silos and improved knowledge sharing Reduced operational costs by consolidating multiple tools Increased team efficiency through automation & standardization Self-sustaining Notion workspace with trained internal teams
