Wix.com had 80 employees at the time but departments were not well coordinated. They tested collaboration tools but none solved the problem. In 2010, Wix created their own tool called daPulse to make information accessible across the company. It allowed information to live in topics that employees could create and maintain. This transparency empowered employees to know everything and improved accountability, acknowledgment of work, competitive analysis, and spotlighting of important information. Departments started evolving their own reports and measuring themselves better. The system also improved motivation by allowing people to see others' work. It became core to how the 400+ employee company coordinated their work.

say ahhha, dramatically improves someone’s
motivation.”

Acknowledgments, Example 2
Remote Branches Get Their
Moment In The Sun
Remote company branches, wants to
show what they did, and internal topic
to write on is a perfect solution

11. Competitive Analysis
Enough!
With boring monthly report about competitors!
Get all employees to post on each competitor’s
topic, get information in real time and the ability
to discuss it.
P.S boring PDF’s also look amazing on daPulse.

12. Spotlight
Put Important Information In The Spotlight
Push critical data, BI reports, Code changes, Office Files, or
anything you’d like to be pushed to others
And discussed into one system.

13. Auto Generated Newspaper
Create a topic-based newspaper that auto
generates every week according to predefined
sections.
The newspaper pulls information from the system
And creates an amazing weekly platform to sync
everyone.
