Your procedures are written down. That has never been the same thing as your people being trained.

SOPwise takes one SOP you already have and turns it into a real training package — task-based steps, the mistakes that actually matter, and questions that test judgement. Built from your document, in minutes.

Turn one SOP into a training package

One document. The full result. You see exactly what it produces before it ever goes near your team.

Decanting from an IBC to a Day Tank
1Check the IBC label matches the day tank before you connect anything
2Bond and earth the IBC, then verify the connection is sound
3Confirm the day tank has the ullage to take the full transfer
4Open the valve slowly and stay with the transfer until it is done
⚠ The mistakes that matter
·Starting the transfer before bonding and earthing are verified
·Walking away from a running transfer to do something else
Scenario
You connect the IBC and notice the earthing clamp won't grip the lug cleanly. What do you do before opening the valve?

The gap nobody owns

A new starter's first week runs on borrowed time. Someone experienced walks them through the job — the real version, the one that isn't fully in any document — and for those few days that experienced person isn't doing their own work. You do it because it works. You also know it doesn't scale, doesn't repeat the same way twice, and leaves nothing behind you could show an auditor.

The procedure exists. It was written carefully, probably by someone good. But a written procedure and a trained operator are not the same thing, and the distance between them is where the cost hides — in the hours your best people spend covering it, and in the quiet hope that everyone who signed to say they'd read it actually understood it.

Nobody owns that gap. There's no training budget for it, no L&D team to hand it to, no time in the week to build something better. So it stays a gap, and you keep paying for it in the most expensive currency you have: your experienced people's time.

What comes back

Not a reformatted document. A training package built from what your SOP already says.

Upload one SOP and you get back a training package, every part of it drawn straight from the procedure — nothing invented, nothing added.

1
Task-based steps
Reorganised around real actions, in plain language. "Decanting from an IBC" instead of "Section 8.4." The order a person works in, not the order a document was filed in.
2
The mistakes that matter
The handful of errors that cause real problems, pulled out of the SOP and put in front of a new starter before they make them — not buried in paragraph six.
3
Questions that test judgement
Short scenarios drawn from the procedure, the kind that check whether someone could actually handle the situation — not tick-box questions anyone can pass by guessing.

The work runs in four stages, and the last one checks the output back against your original document, so nothing important is lost on the way through.

How it works

Three steps.

1
Upload one SOP
A PDF you already have. Up to twenty pages.
2
It's converted
The four-stage process turns the document into the training package above — steps, the mistakes that matter, and scenario questions.
3
You get the result
An interactive course plus a downloadable PDF you keep.

It's £35 for one SOP. No subscription, no account to set up first, no sales call. Set that against what one new starter's first few days cost you in an experienced operator's time, and it isn't a close decision.

Before you upload, you can read exactly what happens to your document on our Security page. It's written in plain English, and it's honest about what we do and don't yet do with your file.

Who this is for

This is for you if:

You have procedures — SOPs, work instructions, safety documents — that are supposed to train people and don't. You're the one who carries that gap: no training team to hand it to, no budget line for it, and the recurring job of getting someone competent falls back on you and your most experienced people every time.

You've probably looked at a proper LMS and put it down again. Too much, too slow, too clearly built for a company with someone whose whole job is running it. That isn't where you are.

This is probably not for you if:

You already have an L&D function and the time and budget to roll out a platform. You can solve this the long way. SOPwise is for people who need to solve it with what's already on their drive, this week.

Why me

I spent twenty-five years running operations in chemical distribution and manufacturing. I have stood in the audit meeting with a stack of signed training records in my hand, knowing they proved a document had been issued and not much else. I have pulled an experienced operator off the floor to run the same induction for the fifth time, because the alternative was letting someone learn the job by guessing.

I am not a technologist writing about technology. I am an operator who got tired of watching the most important training on site happen by accident, and decided to build the thing I wanted for twenty years.

I'll be straight with you: this is early, and I'm building it in the open. That's exactly why the product shows you its full result on your own document — so you can judge it on the work, not on my word.

£35, one SOP, the full result. If it isn't useful to you, you'll have learned that in a few minutes — and you'll have lost nothing but a document that wasn't training anyone anyway.
