Collaboration and knowledge sharing are essential for any team, especially for remote teams that work across different locations and time zones. However, many teams struggle to find the best tools and methods to collaborate and share knowledge effectively and efficiently.

One of the common challenges that remote teams face is managing and accessing their online information. Whether it's articles, videos, podcasts, webinars, or any other type of content, remote teams need a way to save, organize, and share their online information with their teammates.

That's where Stacks comes in. Stacks is a smart and simple tool that lets you save and share bookmarks with one click. It also gives you personalized recommendations for your searches based on your bookmarks and your team's bookmarks.

In this case study, we will show you how Stacks helped a remote team of digital marketers improve their productivity and communication by using Stacks as their collaboration and knowledge-sharing tool.

The Challenge: How to Collaborate and Share Knowledge with a Remote Team

The team in question is a remote team of digital marketers who work for a SaaS company. They are responsible for creating and executing various marketing campaigns, such as content marketing, email marketing, social media marketing, SEO, etc.

The team consists of six members who work from different countries and time zones. They use various tools and platforms to communicate and collaborate, such as Slack, Zoom, Google Drive, Trello, etc.

However, they still faced some challenges when it came to collaborating and sharing knowledge with each other. Some of these challenges were:

  • They had too many bookmarks scattered across different browsers, devices, and tools. They often forgot where they saved something or how to find it again.
  • They had no easy way to see what their teammates had saved or learned online. They missed out on valuable information that could help them with their work or inspire them with new ideas.
  • They had no effective way to get smart recommendations for their searches based on their bookmarks and their team's bookmarks. They wasted time searching for information that they or their teammates had already saved or seen before.
  • They had no centralized place to create and access a shared repository of knowledge that could grow with them and their team. They lacked a way to document and preserve their collective wisdom and experience.

The Solution: How Stacks Helped Them Collaborate and Share Knowledge

The team decided to try Stacks as their collaboration and knowledge-sharing tool. They signed up for a free account at betterstacks.com and installed the Stacks extension for Chrome. They also installed the Stacks app for iOS or Android to save bookmarks from their mobile devices.

They created a shared space for their team and invited each other to join it. They started saving bookmarks related to their work in the shared space with one click. They also saved bookmarks in their personal spaces for their own use.

They saw how Stacks automatically organized their bookmarks into neatly arranged folders and stacks. They also saw how they could easily search for their saved bookmarks using keywords, tags, or filters.

They noticed how Stacks showed them relevant bookmarks from their personal and shared spaces in the recommendations section when they searched online. They also saw how they could see recommendations from other sources, such as Google Scholar, Wikipedia, YouTube, etc.

They realized how Stacks helped them collaborate and share knowledge with each other by:

  • Saving them time and effort by quickly finding and accessing relevant information
  • Reducing duplication of effort and wasted time by seeing what others had saved and learned
  • Encouraging collaboration and knowledge sharing within the team by creating a shared space
  • Enhancing their search experience by getting personalized recommendations from trusted sources
  • Building a personal and shared knowledge base that grew with them and their team

The Results: How Stacks Improved Their Productivity and Communication

After using Stacks for a few weeks, the team saw significant improvements in their productivity and communication. Some of these improvements were:

  • They reduced the number of bookmarks they had by 50% by deleting duplicates and irrelevant ones
  • They increased the number of bookmarks they shared with each other by 300% by saving them in the shared space
  • They improved the quality and relevance of their bookmarks by adding notes, tags, and ratings to them- They saved an average of 30 minutes per day by finding and accessing information faster and easier
  • They improved their collaboration and knowledge sharing by seeing what others had saved and learned online
  • They enhanced their search experience by getting personalized recommendations from trusted sources
