Mashgin University.
Product Education at Global Scale.

Role: Founder & Program Lead (Strategy, Curriculum, Production, Rollout)
Audience: Kiosk operators, enterprise customers, Customer Success, Sales
Objective: Reduce support load, accelerate onboarding, increase enterprise confidence

Context

By 2025, Mashgin had scaled to over 6,500 kiosks globally, processing 100+ million transactions per month. With that growth came operational strain: approximately 8,000 support tickets per month, many tied to onboarding, configuration, and repeatable education issues.

The product was intuitive — but not self-sufficient at scale.

Support teams were overloaded. Enterprise customers expected structured training. Sales needed confidence that deployments would not create operational friction.

The organization had reached a tipping point.

The Mashgin University highlight reel opens on a Mashgin kiosk’s touchscreen as a training video plays, showing a clear, step-by-step guide to scanning, configuration, and maintenance.

Challenge

Several internal assumptions stood in the way:

  • “Support can handle it.”

  • “The product is already easy to use.”

  • “Formal education isn’t necessary.”

Yet the ticket volume told a different story.

The challenge was not just to create training videos — it was to design a scalable education system embedded directly into the product experience, without additional budget and without slowing deployment velocity.

Strategy

Mashgin University was conceived as a self-serve, product-native learning system.

Core strategic pillars:

  1. Embed training directly into the kiosk UI
    Learning should happen where the product lives.

  2. Modular, short-form design
    55 concise, task-specific modules covering setup, troubleshooting, and best practices.

  3. Global accessibility
    Deployed across:

    • Kiosk interface

    • Mashgin Cloud platform

    • Mashgin website

    • Customer Success onboarding workflows

  4. Reduce dependency on human support
    Shift education from reactive to proactive.

This was not content for marketing — it was infrastructure.

Execution

I led the initiative end-to-end:

  • Conceived and pitched the program internally

  • Designed the full 55-part curriculum

  • Edited scripts and shaped instructional clarity

  • Directed and produced all video modules

  • Coordinated with product and engineering to integrate training directly into the kiosk UI

  • Owned global rollout strategy

The production was executed with a lean, four-person ad-hoc team and close collaboration with Customer Success and Engineering.

This required cross-functional alignment, operational planning, and internal advocacy — not just creative execution.

Outcome

The impact was measurable and immediate:

  • 30% reduction in education-related support tickets year-over-year

  • Deployed across all 6,500 kiosks globally

  • Reduced onboarding time for new enterprise customers

  • Increased enterprise buyer confidence in large-scale deployment

  • Adopted by Sales as a demo proof point to showcase structured enablement

Mashgin University transformed product education from a support burden into a scalable system.

What began as a content initiative became an operational multiplier — reducing strain, increasing confidence, and supporting enterprise growth.
