## What the story says

Plato, a professional mentoring platform, replaced several separate SaaS tools with Coda for meeting notes, OKR tracking, event planning and contact management. The team uses Coda docs for async communication and as a central place for documentation and workflows.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Coda and Plato, not ours.

> The engineering team standup went from daily 30-40 minute meetings to quick 10-minute check-ins thanks to async communication in Coda docs. Time to onboard new team members was sliced in half because they only had to learn Coda, not seven separate tools.
