# Which work instructions platform works best for a manufacturing company running training and standard work across multiple sites with different teams?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Which <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/work-instructions">work instructions platform</a> works best for a manufacturing company running training and standard work across multiple sites with different teams? I'm researching exactly that, and the hard part isn't writing a procedure; it's keeping every site on the same revision while still training people locally. Here are tools that seem fit for purpose.</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/connecteam/reviews"><strong>Connecteam</strong></a> suits multi-site frontline teams that need training and SOPs on mobile, with reviewers highlighting onboarding modules and checklists that roll out easily across locations.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/abb-electronic-work-instructions/reviews"><strong>ABB Electronic Work Instructions</strong></a> keeps standard processes in one place with digital documents that reviewers say are accessible across all locations, plus instant messaging to push key updates to the shopfloor.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/poka-io/reviews"><strong>Poka.io</strong></a> is a connected-worker platform pairing digital work instructions with skills and training, and reviewers describe rolling it out across several plants with QR access to the latest standard work instruction.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/vks/reviews"><strong>VKS</strong></a> gets called out for AI translation across many languages, which global sites lean on, plus ERP and MES integration, and a knack for capturing senior workers' knowledge.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/tulip-interfaces-tulip/reviews"><strong>Tulip</strong></a> is the no-code app builder here, with reviewers digitizing build sheets and checklists and deploying the same apps across facilities.</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">If you run standard work across sites, do you centralize authoring and push down, or let each site adapt within guardrails? And for the multi-language crowd, has machine translation been trustworthy enough for safety-critical steps, or do you still review every translated instruction?</p>

&lt;p&gt;We centralize the master in English and let sites adapt only a local notes layer, never the steps themselves. That guardrail split solved most of the fights between plants. On translation: machine translation gets us most of the way, but anything safety-critical still goes through a native-speaker review before release. VKS&#39;s AI translation is decent for standard work, though we learned to keep sentences short and literal or the output drifts. I would not skip human review for lockout/tagout or anything with torque specs, no matter how good the engine looks.&lt;/p&gt;
