The “Remote” vs. “Out of the Loop” Dilemma

We’re a Kiwi startup, so we know a thing or two about working across time zones. Being in New Zealand means we’re often working when the rest of the world is sleeping.

But whether your team is split between Auckland and London, or just between the corporate HQ and the home office, the challenge is the same: proximity bias. The people in the room often make the decisions, leaving remote workers playing catch-up.

Ripple levels the playing field. By prioritizing asynchronous communication, we help you work together even when you aren’t working at the same time.

The 24-Hour Workflow

Global Handovers

Stop waking up at 3 AM for a status call.

• The Flow: A team in London finishes their day by posting a Jam update with a screen recording of their progress.

• The Handover: The team in New Zealand watches it over their morning brew, picks up the Tasks, and keeps the project moving.

• The Result: Work progresses 24/7. You get the speed of a global team without the burnout of a global schedule.

Flexible Schedules for Real Life

We know life happens. The school run, the gym, the appointment you can’t move.

• The Flow: Parents and caregivers can catch up on discussions via Jams when it suits them, rather than stressing about missing a mandated 9 AM dial-in.

• The Culture: This shifts your culture from “presence-based” to “outcome-based.” Participation is measured by contribution (Engagement), not just by who has the green dot next to their name.

Async Brainstorming

Creativity doesn’t always happen on command during a 30-minute calendar slot.

• The Flow: Run a creative session in a Jam over 48 hours. Team members can drop in ideas, files, and sketches when inspiration strikes.

• The Benefit: Introverts have time to formulate their thoughts, and you get better ideas because people aren’t put on the spot.
