Founded by Safwen Bouali, Cherif Redissi and Amine Troudi at the end of 2019, Onboard is a SaaS platform that allows manufacturers to create quality support experiences for their consumers. Say goodbye to confusing paper textbooks, archaic support systems, call centers and old-school textbook creation software.
Onboard allows manufacturers to create 3D manuals in minutes, to share them with their customers instantly. This will allow consumers to view these manuals from any device. They are able to ask questions, and receive “visual” answers. If necessary, they can open a ticket. Manufacturers therefore have the opportunity to manage customer feedback and reported incidents in a single place. No need to acquire several solutions in order to overcome these problems.
Onboard has raised a total of $ 250K in “Seed Funding” from several accelerators, including Flat6Labs Tunis, to invest in technology and talent development.
By this investment, the startup unveils version 1.0 of its SaaS platform, available in public access this week with a range of features, a smooth customer experience and optimized support.
