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.'
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
Two-way communication between HQ, stores, and employees.
Native integration of multiple tools into one app (rostering, training, compliance).
Fully-customisable branding and intuitive user experience.

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.
