The challenge
The company had invested two years and significant consulting budget into a SharePoint intranet. The result: a document graveyard. News pages were outdated, search returned SharePoint sites from 2019, and drivers and warehouse staff - 60% of the workforce - never logged in because there was no usable mobile experience. HR still ran leave on spreadsheets because building a workflow in SharePoint required a consultant.
Why they switched
- SharePoint required consultants for every change; Kompanion works out of the box and adapts to customer requests as part of the service.
- No native people processes - leave, helpdesk and org chart were all custom projects in SharePoint, but are built into Kompanion.
- Deskless workers needed a real mobile app with push notifications, not a responsive document portal.
- Licensing plus consulting plus maintenance cost more than a Kompanion Business plan.

“With SharePoint we had a platform; with Kompanion we finally have an intranet people open on their own. Our drivers see announcements on their phones - that alone was worth the switch.”
