Why

Zea

 

The Lightbulb Moment

Zea was created to solve product documentation problems holding back SMEs

Companies go to great lengths to piece together scraps of information to build product documentation. This approach doesn't scale and holds back even the most ambitious organizations.

When we uncovered how bad the problem was, we decided it was time to do something about it.

So, we built a next-generation 3D Digital Experience Platform

Now, we work with small and medium-sized manufacturers to help them deliver the value that customers get out of using their products.
