About

Sprout Frontliner

Features
Read full description

Sprout Frontliner is the operations platform for frontline teams. It replaces the paper checklists, spreadsheets, and group chats your locations rely on today with a single app — so every store, kitchen, warehouse, and branch runs to the same standard, and head office can see exactly how each one is performing. Built for multi-site operators in retail, quick-service restaurants, hospitality, and logistics. ONE APP FOR EVERY LOCATION Assign tasks, run opening and closing checklists, and report issues from the floor in one place, each with a clear owner and a due date. Nothing gets lost in a chat thread. AUDITS THAT TURN INTO ACTION Run a scored audit and Frontliner grades it instantly. When something fails, it drafts a corrective-action plan and turns each fix into an assigned, tracked task — so findings get resolved, not forgotten. TRAINING THAT PROVES COMPETENCY Build courses, auto-enroll staff by role, and score quizzes. Passing issues a certificate with an expiry date, so you always have an audit-ready answer to whether someone is trained. AI THAT TRIAGES THE DAY A plain-English Daily Brief shows managers what needs attention first, built from your real operational data — never invented. The Sidekick assistant answers questions like “what’s overdue?” and “how are we doing?” on demand. REAL-TIME VISIBILITY ACROSS SITES A single 0–100 Operational Health Score for each location, with a breakdown by branch or business, helps leaders spot the weakest site at a glance and act early. EVERYTHING YOUR FRONTLINE NEEDS - Tasks with priorities, due dates, and clear accountability - Issue reporting with photo capture and automatic safety escalation - Checklists, forms, and weighted compliance audits - Corrective-action plans that become real, assigned tasks - Workflows that automate your standard operating procedures - Training and certificates - Announcements targeted by role or location - Maintenance asset register and repair guides - Leaderboards and badges that recognize great work - Insights and reporting across every area of operations Built for multi-site operations, role-based access keeps staff focused on their own work, managers on their branch, and head office across the whole group, with each business’s data kept private and secure. Sprout Frontliner is part of the Sprout ecosystem. A Frontliner account is provided by your organization.
