Before Flip

Communication meltdown

Ben & Jerry's ANZ supports more than 300 frontline employees – or 'scoopers' – across company-owned stores, franchise partners, and third-party sites. It's slick operation, but coordinating people, performance, and culture was getting tricky – until they met Flip.

Before Flip, communication was mostly top-down and relied on managers and franchisees to relay information. This created bottlenecks and caused employees to miss important messages.

Employees also needed to juggle multiple platforms and log-ins for essential tasks – one for rosters (Tanda), another for training (Rolling Cone), and yet another for compliance (SafetyCulture). Keeping track of each system wasn't practical for employees who may only work a season or a few days a week.

Key challenges

  • Top-down only communication, low engagement.

  • Multiple, disconnected platforms and log-ins for daily needs.

  • Reliance on managers and franchisees to communicate messages.

'Our previous platforms took a top-down approach. You would post and wait for a scooper to log in once in a blue moon.'

Claudia Bannister, Operations Lead, Ben & Jerry's

The Solution

One platform to bring it all together

Ben & Jerry’s didn't want just another tool – in fact, the opposite. They wanted a platform that would make their employees' lives easier and more engaging, bringing together all the things they need while reflecting their vibrant, playful culture.

Why Ben & Jerry's chose Flip

  1. Two-way communication between HQ, stores, and employees.

  2. Native integration of multiple tools into one app (rostering, training, compliance).

  3. Fully-customisable branding and intuitive user experience.

'The branded experience was crucial. We wanted scoopers to feel Flip was tailor-made for them – something genuinely part of our Ben & Jerry’s family.'

Claudia Bannister

Operations Lead

The rollout was collaborative and supported every step of the way by Flip and partner Enablo. A comprehensive roll-out plan and regular check-ins made sure the Ben & Jerry's team felt comfortable and confident throughout the process.

Three steps to 70% adoption in three days

  • Step 1: Onboarding head office

  • Step 2: Trial run with selected users

  • Step 3: Smooth, confident deployment across all locations

'Every single aspect of the launch has been covered – from the comms plan to onboarding.'

The Result

Fast adoption, real engagement

In just three days, 70% of the team was onboarded and actively using Flip – and feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.

Store managers say they're able to more easily coordinate their local operations and no longer need to serve as communication middlemen. Local teams feel more connected, creative, and engaged than ever, with scoopers proactively sharing updates, photos, and tips between stores.

'We're no longer reliant on a middleman to pass on information, so it takes the workload off franchisees and allows better operations for our scoopers.'
