POET, founded in 1987 and headquartered in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, has grown from a single bioprocessing facility to the world’s largest producer of bioethanol and a global leader in sustainable bioproducts with more than 30 facilities across the U.S.
To support its growing workforce and maintain operational efficiency, POET needed a stronger way to align and connect facilities to company information, policies, and resources.
The problem
As POET expanded, communication became increasingly fragmented. Critical updates, policies, and training materials lived across emails and disconnected systems, creating delays and inconsistencies across facilities.
The pain
Information gaps
Slow access to essential resources impacted productivity.
Disconnected teams
Distributed facilities made alignment difficult.
Inefficient updates
Manual communication methods caused delays and confusion.
