What is BASIC Guru?

Categories & Use Cases

Great for organizing and storing a lot of information!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Guru is used as a large database for our product information, SOP's, and general updates. Guru is vital to our team and we reference this application several times throughout the day. Each one of our products has its own Guru card that contains all product information from benefits, product page link, weight, sales pitches, etc.

Pros

  • Google Chrome integration works great
  • Easy and user-friendly UI
  • Great tagging, sorting, and organizing capabilities

Cons

  • Chrome extension often fails to work properly
  • Difficult to learn at first
  • General search function can be improved

Return on Investment

  • There was a steep learning curve for many in our team
  • We mainly use Chrome integration and sometimes the application fails to load
  • With thousands of Guru cards, searching up one specific card can sometimes be difficult as the query brings up so many results based on a key word

Usability

Other Software Used

Slack, Google Ad Manager, Polly
