Their software provides biotech and pharmaceutical companies with a unified platform for all of their scientific data. Today, over 200,000 scientists use Benchling across the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in 2020, employees at Benchling were running into some internal knowledge management challenges. They were trying to stay organized with bookmarks and folders \u2014 but that just wasn\u2019t cutting it. Employees were also lacking visibility since certain documentation was hard to surface.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recognizing these challenges, a Senior IT Engineer at Benchling recommended the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.golinks.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GoLinks SaaS solution<\/a>, which he had past experience with. Their team played with the free version until they ran it as a hackathon project and officially introduced it to the whole organization.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-golinks-the-answer-to-their-navigation-headaches\">GoLinks: the answer to their navigation headaches&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After the implementation of GoLinks, finding and sharing resources at Benching became a whole lot easier. James Curtis, the Senior IT Support Engineer at Benchling, shares that, \u201cIt is much easier to remember a specific go link you\u2019ve seen once than it is to either (a) save a bookmark or (b) remember where you saw the original link.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GoLinks has also helped Benchling employees save chunks of time throughout their workdays. On average, U.S. employees switch between an average of 13 apps <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ciodive.com\/news\/app-switching-enterprise-productivity-software-qatalog\/602082\/\">30 times per day<\/a>. During this context-switching, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hcamag.com\/us\/specialization\/employee-engagement\/employees-waste-at-least-two-hours-a-day-searching-for-what-they-need-to-work\/324737\">many employees waste up to 2 hours daily<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the help of GoLinks, this wasted time can be reclaimed. In fact, James told us he can navigate to any of his important resources without even taking his hands off the keyboard.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI use \u201ccommand + L\u201d to move the cursor to the address bar, then type the go link. This saves me seconds every time I switch pages, rather than having to move a hand to the mouse, click through my bookmarks, and find the right page.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, James saves up to <strong>7.8 hours a month<\/strong> by using GoLinks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.golinks.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/19101536\/James-Curtis-1.jpeg\" alt=\"James Curtis, IT Support Engineer at Benchling\" class=\"wp-image-4835\" width=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.golinks.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/19101536\/James-Curtis-1.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/images.golinks.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/19101536\/James-Curtis-1-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/images.golinks.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/19101536\/James-Curtis-1-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/images.golinks.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/19101536\/James-Curtis-1-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/images.golinks.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/19101536\/James-Curtis-1-40x40.jpeg 40w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-style-large\">\n<p>\u201cThe biggest benefit for me is the ease of navigation to any page without taking my hands off the keyboard.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<cite>\u2014James Curtis, Sr IT Support Engineer<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-start-accelerating-it-operations-with-golinks\">Start accelerating IT operations with GoLinks&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>7.8 hours a month can be equated to a lot of productive work.
