Institutional Knowledge Capture

Every team has someone who's the only one who knows how. Then they leave.

WorkLegacy captures what your experts know and pins it to the equipment, tools, and places it lives — so it stays with the team instead of walking out the door.

01 — The Problem

Your most valuable asset clocks out and doesn't come back.

Decades of fixes, setups, and workarounds live in a handful of people. No manual captures it. When they retire, quit, or get acquired away, it leaves with them.

FAULT 01

It lives in heads, not systems

The real know-how almost never makes it into SOPs or binders. When the person goes, so does the knowledge.

FAULT 02

Onboarding takes months

New hires rediscover what someone already solved, because there's nothing searchable to learn from.

FAULT 03

The same question, forever

Your best people burn hours re-explaining the same setup to every new face on the floor.

FAULT 04

Turnover resets the clock

Every departure, reorg, or acquisition means relearning what someone already figured out.

02 — How It Works

Tag it. Capture it. Scan to find it.

No checklists, no sign-off chains, no months of rollout. Four steps, and the knowledge stays with the team.

STEP 01

Tag every asset

A QR code auto-generates for every piece of equipment, tool, room, vehicle, or item.

STEP 02

Capture in the moment

Anyone posts fixes, setups, and walkthroughs in minutes — text, photos, PDFs, or video.

STEP 03

Scan to retrieve

Scan the tag on anything and every relevant post is right there, instantly.

STEP 04

Keep it for good

When someone leaves, their knowledge stays — searchable, citable, and tied to the work.

03 — What's Inside

Every feature, every plan. No knowledge held hostage by a tier.

Built mobile-first for wherever the work happens, and web for the office. Everything below is included at every price.

Knowledge posts

How-tos, troubleshooting, and tacit know-how captured in minutes — text, photos, PDFs, and video in one place.

QR codes on anything physical

A permanent code for any piece of equipment, tool, room, or vehicle. Teams that make things also get a Parts Library to tie knowledge to what they build.

PARTS LIBRARY

Knowledge gap detection

Every search that finds nothing gets logged. Leaders see exactly what the team can't answer — and close the gap before it bites.

Former-employee archive

When an expert leaves, their posts stay readable and searchable forever. They can no longer edit — the knowledge can't be deleted out the door.

Messaging & promote

Direct messages and threaded comments keep answers moving — and a helpful reply can be promoted into a permanent post.

Admin dashboard

Adoption, coverage, and retention at a glance. Four roles and hierarchical locations keep big sites organized and access clean.

See it live

Real screens. Real shop-floor knowledge.

Not mockups. This is the app you'll hand to your team.

Assets list — welders, safety showers, presses, plasma cutters
Every asset, tagged and searchable.
Parts Library — bearings, couplings, gears, regulators

Search for shop-floor procedures and fixes
Search anything. Get the fix, not the manual.
Admin dashboard — 168 posts, 68 searches, 15 knowledge gaps
Leaders see coverage, gaps, and adoption at a glance.

Your knowledge never leaves your walls.

Every company is fully walled off from every other. Your people see your knowledge and no one else's — no cross-company mixing, ever. What your team captures stays yours, isolated by design.

07 — The Founder

Built by someone who watched it walk out the door.

Over my years in fabrication, I kept seeing the same thing — and it turns out it's true in every kind of workplace: the people who know how the work really gets done move on, and what they knew leaves with them. The fixes, the shortcuts, the things that never made it onto paper — gone.

Not because anyone was careless. Because no tool was built to catch that knowledge in time. WorkLegacy is that tool — built for any team that runs on what its people know.
