Operational memory

When a key employee leaves.

Most of your company's critical knowledge lives in people's heads. When they leave, they take it with them. Kestevo captures and organizes that knowledge before it's too late.

  • Captures knowledge from email, documents, tickets, conversations
  • Searchable like a search engine, not like an archive
  • Preserves operational memory when people leave

We're opening the private pilot to a limited number of companies. When we open the next slot, we'll reach out with an initial assessment of your situation.

Knowledge that lives only in people is already lost.
The intelligence that stays

When a key employee leaves, the memory stays.

Email, chats, Excel, hand-annotated BoMs. Kestevo reads everything your shop-floor lead knows and never wrote in a manual.

12 years of decisions, scattered across files and email. Assembled inside Kestevo.
Example 01
  • EmailMario, Production Director: handles 78% of critical suppliers
  • ExcelLine 2 BoM: hand-annotated by Mario across 14 files
  • SharePoint0 documented procedures for compound changeover
  • EmailMario: resignation filed, last day in 90 days
Alert | HR

Mario leaves in 90 days. His 12 years of choices live in 14 annotated files and years of email, not in a manual.

Suggested action

Start the handover with Mario in the next 30 days. Kestevo drafts procedures for the 14 critical BoMs from his files and email, ready for him to review.

Example 02
  • MESA-shift Line 3: scrap 1.8% (plant average 4.2%)
  • WhatsAppAnna (A-shift lead): 'compound change at 220°, not 240°'
  • ExcelAnna's notes: undocumented parameters for 6 products
Opportunity | COO

Anna's A-shift produces three times less scrap than the others. Only she knows why.

Suggested action

Kestevo captures Anna's parameters in a draft procedure, ready to share across the 3 shifts: -1.5 pts average scrap, roughly €120k/year.

How Kestevo works

Kestevo reads the documents and messages a person already produced, with their participation during handover, links the decisions that recur, and drafts a procedure for you to review. It never writes back to your systems.
