Systems your team can run without us

Edutext turns the spreadsheets, shared folders and know-how that run your sites and office into documented systems your team can maintain. Founded in 2000, we came to this work from technology education, training and technical documentation.

What we do

You can hire us for one of these on its own, or for several together.

  1. Systems audits

    We review how work, information and tools actually move, and end with a ranked 90-day plan.

  2. Technical documentation

    Procedures, work instructions and templates your team can find and keep up to date.

  3. Digital systems

    SharePoint, Microsoft 365 workflows, integrations and bespoke software built around how your team works.

  4. Training and capability

    Training on your own systems and documents, built around each role's real tasks.

  5. Practical AI

    AI for narrow, repeatable information tasks, with a person checking every output.

Replacing a spreadsheet-based handover tracker

Situation

At an SME civils and roofing contractor in the infrastructure supply chain (name withheld), a shared workbook had become the only view of package status and handover readiness.

What we did

We traced each status, input, exception and hand-off against real packages. That showed which columns did control work, which were just formatting and which decisions needed a named owner. The map kept the working knowledge that mattered and exposed the unsupported rules and duplicate entry.
