Poka.io Reviews & Product Details

I like the way it supports sharing and collaboration. Associates with lots of experience or those who are brand new can connect quickly and easily. Sites and associates can leverage not just the collaboration, but also the visibility to technical information as well (knowledge & skills). Visibility to capability, compliance and onboarding data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I still find it difficult to easily pull data and match Poka data with other systems. A large portion of the roadblocks are internal and security which is also internal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have been using POKA since Q4 2019 and have more than 150 users within our plant. We have mainly utilized POKA as a tool to aid communication within the factory, sharing knowledge and resolutions to the issues encountered.

I like the training aspect that POKA brings, and in recent years we have implemented changes that allow us to utilize this side of the application, mainly for OJT through our TWI programme. The team matrix is a useful visual for trainers to identify training opportunities, as well as for managers to see what level each of their team members has been trained to. I'm also excited to try out the new Qualifications feature, to help assign training to the required areas.

Perhaps my favourite feature is POKA Forms, as they are so easy to create and are extremely user friendly for operators completing their daily requirements. The QR codes take them directly to the form and each form has a similar look, making a standard that's easy to follow and understand.

If there are any issues with the application, the customer support team are always quick to respond and often resolve the issue within minimal time. Where this is not possible, they will keep you up-to-date with the current status. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a couple of design features which could be improved, such as the notifications icon at the top of the screen. This is currently utilized for all notifications and the indicating number is removed when the icon is pressed. It would be good to see these notifications split out into Issue related and Individual task related icons, to better differentiate and highlight when each individual has an outstanding requirement.

It can be frustrating when new features are demonstrated, but require additional license fees to use. This is understandable, due to the time and effort taken to develop the new features, but out of my control whether we are able to utilize them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use most features on Poka; issues, forms, work instructions. And I build custom API int Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wouldn’t say I dislike it, but it’s still missing a few features I wish it had so our Quality and Health and Safety teams would be more likely to adopt Poka and help get us all on one platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This option lets me capture training content and digitize older paper-and-pen operations, which makes it easier for me to keep everything organized and accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I couldn’t open two forms at the same time, and I wasn’t able to copy and paste elements between them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the fact that you’re able to have better communication with the operators and make their jobs easier by providing training material and a voice Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’d be more helpful if more of our systems can integrate into Poka so that we only have to do the job once Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s user-friendly and easily accessible for our operators, which makes it straightforward for them to use day to day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As an admin, it can be difficult to figure out how to use new features without training from Poka. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Forms module makes it easy for the shop floor to quickly input all production data, and then use that data to build meaningful dashboards. Skills management is also very helpful—having clear visibility into operators’ skill levels makes a big difference. We are thinking about using Poka as one stop solution for most of the shop floor activities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Often, we see opportunities for new, additional features that would fit well into our existing process, but the current limitations restrict our ability to progress smoothly. Also, each new feature request or improvement takes a long time to be delivered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This application truly makes employees’ work easier. Whether it’s consulting a work instruction to know how to perform a task or solving an issue using troubleshooting guides, it really gets the job done. The electronic forms are easy to create and extremely practical for a company. Being able to communicate with employees on various topics, such as safety and quality, makes it an essential tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most challenging part is having to log in as soon as we start using the application, even when we are on a private network. It would be better if the application opened directly and only required identification when a modification needs to be made, using a four‑character code. This would greatly simplify the work of production employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use Poka in multiple ways across our operations. We rely on it for work instructions, machine guides, troubleshooting, training, forms, and general information sharing. It also helps our production operators communicate smoothly across shifts and collaborate with different departments. Overall, it’s a single platform that’s easy to use, simple to navigate, and effective at engaging users. For us, it functions as our internal social and working network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest issue we ran into wasn’t Poka itself, but the lack of connectivity between our plants. Now that we understand everything Poka is capable of, we would have set it up differently from the start. That said, it’s an advantage that we can use what we’ve learned to better support new plants as they come onboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use poka across our entire plant whether it is skills forms or work instructions and it is helping the business enormously Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing specific I dislike; it is a work in progress where we have business demands that poka will meet with time. But I would say specific business demands that are tough to get quickly sometimes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
