The Challenge
BuildTech had 800+ engineers spread across 12 time zones. Collaboration was chaotic with excessive meetings, lost context, and delayed decisions. Engineers reported spending 40% of their time in meetings rather than doing actual engineering work.
The Solution
TeamIQ provided AI-powered async-first collaboration tools that capture context, summarize discussions, and enable effective collaboration without requiring real-time presence.
Implementation
- Rolled out TeamIQ to all 800+ engineers globally
- Migrated from 5 separate communication tools
- Configured AI meeting summaries and action tracking
- Implemented async decision-making workflows
- Created time-zone-aware notification systems
"TeamIQ solved our distributed collaboration challenges. Our engineers spend more time engineering and less time in meetings. Decisions happen faster even though people are rarely online together."
