URBNSURF expands business across Australia with Adobe Acrobat Pro DC

At a time when people increasingly value their physical and mental health, there’s never been a greater demand for experiences that improve happiness and health. URBNSURF knows this demand more than most.

Eight years ago, URBNSURF set out on their mission to build and operate world-class surf parks in Australia and improve accessibility to surfing. While not without its challenges, URBNSURF is now a fast-paced and rapidly expanding start-up creating world-class urban surfing locations around Australia.

As they look to continue their expansion across the country, expand their team and increase their services, URBNSURF turned to Adobe Acrobat Pro DC to help them power their business growth and team collaboration.

Less time on screens and more time in the surf

As URBNSURF continues to grow rapidly, with a new site in Sydney set to open next year, having a digitised workflow is a crucial part of their collaborative and agile ways of working. From the start of their business journey, Adobe Acrobat has played a core role in their collaborative process.

While building a new park location in Sydney, Melbourne employees needed a way to share knowledge quickly and easily, including information on the customer journey, revenue approach, and insights into the park space itself.

Adobe Acrobat provides a way for employees in any location to review the same document at the same time and easily comment, share, review and edit. The collaborative processes that Acrobat facilitates, “help get plans out of our heads and into the surf park faster,” says head of sales and partnerships James Miles.

Riding the digital wave

With innovation and digital transformation happening faster than ever, businesses with the right tools to help digitise their workflows and enhance customer experiences are at a competitive advantage.

A big part of URBNSURF's day-to-day is focused on making sure their documentation is aligned across all parts of the business.

“We have a lot of work instructions for our 120 odd casual staff,” Miles says. “These work instructions, and the way we look at safety and operations are changing all the time.”

With Adobe Acrobat, they can rapidly change that documentation and share it with a number of people.

It's not only internal processes that Adobe Acrobat simplifies. For Miles, "being able to respond quickly to our customers wants is amazing."

With Adobe Acrobat's capabilities, URBNSURF can stay agile and keep up with customer demands.
