Building a Digital Home for a Multi-Location Business
A growing business operating across the UK and internationally needed a central digital hub for its people. No single source of truth existed for news, documents, training or company information. YettyMabs Limited designed and built a full SharePoint intranet from scratch.

The Challenge
One Business. Three Countries. No Central Hub.
The client was a growing business with teams across the United Kingdom, South Africa and Ghana. Information was scattered across email threads and personal drives. New starters had no structured onboarding. Training resources were hard to find. There was no shared space for company news, team updates or documents.

The Library organises all company documents by department, Finance, HR, Innovations, IT and Marketing, giving every team a controlled, searchable home for their files.
What Was Delivered
Five Modules. One Joined-Up Experience.
Each module was designed to solve a specific problem the business was experiencing, then built and configured within Microsoft 365 with adoption in mind from the start.
📰
News and Announcements
A rolling news carousel on the home page keeps all staff updated with company news, product launches and leadership messages regardless of location.
📁
Document Library
Departmental document libraries for Finance, HR, IT, Marketing and Innovations replace scattered personal drives with a structured, permission-controlled filing system.
👥
Staff Directory
A visual people directory shows team members with names, photos and departments, making it easy for staff across three countries to know who to contact.
📅
Events Calendar
A shared events calendar surfaces upcoming dates and company events for all staff, with time zone clocks showing local times for UK, South Africa and Ghana simultaneously.
🔗
Quick Links and Applications
Frequently used tools including Figma and Asana are surfaced on the home page, reducing the time staff spend searching for the applications they need every day.
