(Original )Information
What do you like best about Shelf?

I enjoy the easy to understand customer interface. I also think the search functionality is helpful when trying to locate a specific gem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shelf?

I dislike the comment functionality on gems. I feel like these should not be public and should go directly to the inbox of the user who created the gem. That way, if there's an update that needs to be made, the person who has the ability to edit the the gem is notified and can make the change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Shelf:

Shelf is a fantastic tool to use for larger organizations. It will help with team communication and collaboration, and it is a steady and reliable source to house important company information/documents/processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Shelf?

Easy to access and very detailed, contains just the right amount of information. It's organized by different types of procedures that we make on daily basis. I use it daily and consider the information the contains essential for my work every day. When describing correct procedures for handling customer support cases, I like that it is very complete in sense that it offers many solutions for all possible situations one can find themselves in. The upside I very much like is usage of different collored letters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shelf?

Sometimes the proper procedure can take time to find because you have to click "Next" repeatedly to find the right solution. Also, I would like if the procedure "tree" was more visualized, maybe by some graphs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shelf solving and how is that benefiting you?

Glovo application customer support procedures. For example, all the situations thats we solve everyday me and my colleagues have learned on Shelf. Also, if something is new or we are unsure, we always have Shelf opened in tab so we can refer to it so we can apply right procedures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Shelf?

Shelf is both intuitive and powerful. Adding content is very simple from a user standpoint, and the search and organization tools, such as connected gems, make it very quick and simple for users to find what they need. The recent addition of Content Maintenance, where users can leave feedback on specific gems as they're viewing them, has been an invaluable feature that we've already used heavily to improve our libraries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shelf?

Shelf is very resource intensive, which makes sense as it's got a lot of content and data it has to read and process, but this also makes loading gems take a few seconds longer than I'd like sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shelf solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a very large library of resources our agents need to access, and a wide variety of situations that they need to keep track of and informed about. Shelf has made it possible for agents to find what they need, in the moment they need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
