Data centre technician onboarding before anyone touches a live rack

Gryffi gives every new technician a guided virtual walk-through of your facility, an AI guide that answers from your vendor manuals at 3am, and a quiz that shows they are ready. Not a stack of PDFs, but structured preparation in short steps.

The real problem with technical onboarding

You hand new technicians a pile of vendor PDFs, an outdated floor plan and a two-hour shadow shift with a senior engineer who has twelve other things to deal with. Three weeks later they are on site alone, unsure which PDU feeds which row, and they are not going to admit it.

What under-prepared technicians cost you

One wrong breaker takes a tenant offline

A misread shutdown sequence or the wrong breaker can take a critical customer offline. One preventable incident means SLA penalties, an awkward conversation with the client and a root-cause report that points at onboarding.

Senior staff pulled away from critical work

Every time a junior technician cannot find the secondary cooling intake or does not know the escalation chain, they interrupt someone who should not be interrupted. In a 24/7 operation that pattern repeats every shift.

Compliance you cannot prove

ISO 27001 and SOC 2 auditors do not accept "we did the shadow training". If you cannot show who completed which safety module and when, you are exposed during audits and after incidents.

Structured preparation before the first shift on the floor

With Gryffi you build an interactive onboarding journey once, with a drag-and-drop builder and no developers, and every new hire or contractor gets the same preparation regardless of the shift they start on. They walk through your facility virtually, step by step, and arrive knowing where the UPS room is, what the critical measurement points look like and what to do when an alarm triggers.

360° tours of your server halls and plant rooms

Upload panoramas of the white space, cooling plant, UPS room and emergency exits, and add hotspots that explain what the technician is looking at. A new hire in Helsinki builds spatial memory of your Frankfurt facility before day one.

An AI guide trained on your vendor manuals

Upload your cooling documentation, UPS manuals and internal SOPs. The AI guide answers technician questions with a citation to the exact document, so a question about a CRAC alarm code at 2am does not have to wake a senior engineer.

A certification quiz with the passing score you set

Test safety procedures, equipment identification and emergency protocols before you issue access credentials. Technicians who fail can retry, and Analytics shows who passed, when, and with what score.
