SmartUp is already used by over 100,000 startup founders and teams, and is a perfect tool for companies looking to reduce high spend on expensive “one size fits all” content systems.
SmartUp’s customers are creating a whole range of different interactive content on the platform – for training, product info, on-boarding new employees, sales material, compliance and innovation.
