Why choose CapoFine?

Choose CapoFine to connect interactive company discovery with buddy support, manager goals, recruitment and continuing learning, so the employee journey carries on beyond the welcome.

Make company discovery something employees take part in

Build the welcome around your people, workplace and company story. Onboard combines stories with seven puzzle types and optional daily missions. Introduce colleagues through interactive activities, arrange buddy meetings and give new hires ways to explore the culture and practical knowledge they will use in their role.

Place those experiences beside tasks, files and manager-approved goals. Use date scheduling and activity prerequisites to guide the sequence, and tailor the journey to roles, teams, departments or locations. AI Buddy answers from company knowledge, while progress and feedback help HR follow how the welcome is unfolding.

  • Combine stories, puzzles and practical activities.
  • Match buddies and schedule their involvement.
  • Guide activity order with timing and prerequisites.

Connect the welcome to your recruitment process

Hire gives you a recruitment pipeline within the CapoFine Suite. Manage vacancies, candidate communication and interviews, then collect the team's post-interview feedback. Generate documents and use provider-based digital signing when the process calls for it, with the hiring work organised before the employee begins onboarding.

Automatic handoffs connect Hire with the Onboard journey. Managers, buddies and preparation teams can take over their responsibilities as the candidate becomes a colleague. If an existing ATS remains part of your setup, agree its connection and ownership. You can also bring that recruitment work into Hire as part of the Suite.

  • Manage the candidate pipeline in Hire.
  • Support documents and provider-based digital signing.
  • Start onboarding through the automatic Suite handoff.

Continue the journey when employees start learning the role

Once employees know their way around, they still need to learn the work. Grow supports courses and pathways for product knowledge, internal processes and ongoing development. Assign the relevant material to each audience and use points, badges and progress to encourage participation in the learning you create.

Use formal assessments when a course needs a check of understanding, with pass scores, retries and completion certificates. Connect onboarding events to Grow assignments so the practical welcome leads into the next learning step. Your company introduction and continuing courses then have a place within the same CapoFine Suite.

  • Build learning beyond the first employee journey.
  • Use assessments and retries for formal checks.
  • Connect onboarding events with continuing courses.

Ready to switch
to CapoFine?

Start with one Appical journey that represents the experience you want to keep. Bring its content, audience rules and manager responsibilities into CapoFine, then decide how buddy support, early goals and continuing learning should extend it. Review the employee path before moving the next cohort.

Plan your move with usExplore security and data handling

  1. Gather the journey and its variants

    Collect the content, interactive activities, translations and audience rules in the current journey. Note differences between roles or locations, content timing and manager responsibilities. Identify the completion history you need to retain and the owners of any connected HR or ATS systems.

  2. Build discovery around practical responsibilities

    Recreate the company introduction in Onboard with stories, puzzles and the activities employees need to complete. Add buddy matching, meetings and early goals. Check the sequence and review what employees see when a prerequisite is incomplete or an assigned task becomes overdue.

  3. Review ownership before the next cohort

    Agree who maintains content, translations and journey variants after the move. Check the manager view, company answers and required connections. Keep the relevant completion records accessible, then choose the intake that will start in CapoFine and the existing journeys that should finish first.

Bring these to your demo

  • Journey content, translations and role or location variants.
  • Manager responsibilities, buddy criteria and content timing.
  • Required completion history and HR or ATS connection details.

More about CapoFine vs Appical

Can we reuse our existing onboarding content?

Bring the source material, translations and activity requirements for review. Rebuild the journey using CapoFine stories, puzzles, meetings and tasks. The migration should account for content ownership, formatting and the history you need to retain.

Can an activity wait until another is complete?

Yes. Activity prerequisites guide progression through the Onboard journey, alongside date-based scheduling. Use the sequence that fits the employee's preparation and the practical requirements of the role.

Can we keep an existing ATS?

Yes, through an agreed connection with clear data ownership. Hire also provides a built-in candidate pipeline when you want recruitment within CapoFine, with automatic handoffs into the onboarding journey.

What happens when the welcome is complete?

Grow provides ongoing courses, pathways, gamification and formal assessments. Suite handoffs connect onboarding events to learning assignments, so employees can continue into the material they need for their role.

How should we compare Appical plans with the Suite?

Include the journey features and surrounding products you need. Appical places manager tools in Professional and workflows, signing and integrations in Enterprise. Compare that configuration with the recruitment, onboarding and learning work in your CapoFine offer.
