Your challenges
Every newcomer ties up an expert. Train twice as fast.
Weeks of mentoring, an expert taken off their workstation, beginners’ mistakes: training is expensive, for you as well as for your customers. In our deployments, training was twice as fast, with five times fewer trainers and mentors involved.

The situation
The hidden cost of every new arrival.
It does not show on a training invoice. It is counted in hours: those of the newcomer who is not yet productive, and those of the expert who is no longer producing.
Weeks of mentoring
The newcomer learns by shadowing an experienced colleague until they are autonomous. Meanwhile, two people occupy a single workstation.
An expert tied up
The mentor is often the best expert at the workstation. Every hour of mentoring is lost to production or maintenance.
A recurring expense
With every new arrival, every new production run, every equipment change, the same training starts again.
Training your customers costs too
Commissioning, onboarding, maintenance: sending a technician to every customer takes time and travel.
What SHIFT89 changes
Newcomers autonomous sooner, experts less tied up.
On the real equipment
The newcomer follows the procedure step by step on the real equipment, on their own: they no longer wait for an expert to be free.
Learn moreA few minutes
The tutorial is created once, in a few minutes, and serves every new arrival: the expert’s effort is not repeated.
Learn moreVerified learning
A quiz checks that the task is understood; you see who is ready, and where people get stuck.

No network to open, no online account: getting started takes one day on site with your trainers.

Our approach
First, understand how a hands-on skill is learnt. Only then, the tool.
Before designing our tool, we studied how people learn to do with their hands what they cannot yet do.
A learning method from our research work
With research laboratories, we studied how people learn a task they don’t know how to do, in a constrained environment. The aim is not to make people act like robots: it is for everyone to understand, remember and own the skill. This method is validated by 5 industrial PhD theses.
A creation method within every expert’s reach
The real challenge is creation: experts don’t have time, and not all of them are comfortable with digital tools. They create their own tutorials, very quickly, with the help of the built-in AI, and these tutorials apply the learning method without them needing to know it.
The tool we wish we’d had
As former industry professionals, we know every second counts: the expert’s time must be kept as short as possible. We also know the value of trade or defence secrets: everything works offline, without compromise, artificial intelligence included, right down to translating a tutorial in a few seconds.
The result: tutorials created in a few minutes, that really make people learn.
At your site
Where training costs you.
In industry
New hires, temporary workers, a new line: fewer hours of mentoring, operators autonomous sooner.
IndustryIn the armed forces
Trainers less tied up, trainees who practise on the real equipment as often as needed.
DefenceFor your customers
Onboarding for your equipment delivered on the machine itself, without sending a technician every time.

Estimate and fund
Quantify your savings, fund your project.
Simulate your savings
Apply the savings measured in our deployments to your own figures. The calculation runs in your browser: nothing is sent.
One day to get started
A one-hour scoping session by video call, one day on site with up to 8 of your experts, then standard project management. Additional support days when your project requires them.
Frequently asked questions
Your questions.
How much could we save?
It depends on your volumes and your costs. The simulator applies the savings measured in our deployments to your own figures; we then check them with you, on one of your real tasks.
And to train our own customers?
A tutorial created on your equipment serves all your customers, in their language, without any connection to your servers or theirs: onboarding is passed on without sending a technician every time. Your customers equip themselves with augmented-reality glasses or a headset, and we advise them.
How long does it take to get started?
A one-hour scoping session by video call, then one day on site with your trainers. In our deployments, 8 trainers were operational after one day.
