Purpose

Automate online knowledge base updates to ensure staff always have access to up-to-date documentation, compliance changes, safety protocols, treatment standards, aromatic blend recipes, and wellness guidelines for the aromatherapy service category in the professional services, wellness & spa industry.

2. Enable automated aggregation and dissemination of regulatory updates, internal SOP revisions, product FAQs, training materials, and compliance certifications directly into a central digital repository that staff can access on demand.

3. Reduce the risk of staff using outdated procedures by automating the synchronization of content across platforms that frontline employees use (mobile, web, kiosks).
