Customer Case Study
Beyond Meat Google Sites Intranet
“Steegle’s tailored solutions have made our new intranet a global success.” – Adam Lee HRIP
A Global Connection for
Every Employee
Beyond Meat, Inc. is a US and international producer of plant-based meat substitutes. With its emphasis on research and development it has developed premium products and supplied leading corporations like McDonald’s with plant-based meat substitutes. Beyond Meat has about 1200 Users across the globe.
Challenges
As Beyond Meat had grown rapidly, and matured its IT infrastructure, its legacy intranet platform, Jostle, was no longer keeping pace with the company’s requirements. Beyond Meat needed to maintain up to date links to relevant intranet applications, so a new intranet design was required. Jostle’s portal solution did not improve productivity and proved expensive, so Beyond Meat chose Steegle.One Intranet for Google Workspace which follows the Nielsen Norman Group intranet design philosophy.
Outcome
Steegle worked closely with the Beyond Meat team to tailor a corporate intranet solution to meet their business requirements and give them a fully customised on-brand look and feel, and company-wide, private network solution.

We considered the various options. As we were based on Google Workspace, we considered Google Sites. In part this was because of its responsiveness, simplicity, easy authentication and security. Although we could have done things in house, we sought expertise to accelerate a migration. After much research, we engaged with Steegle for design services and tools to automate our Google Sites Solution with Springboard Tools. One of the key reasons we selected Steegle as our partner is unlike other off-the-shelf tools their solution was really customized to our needs and our brand.
Today our new intranet is successfully developed with Steegle Tools in place and is available to all our staff around the globe. The feedback has been excellent. We found working with Steegle very easy, as they always listen to our needs, gave us friendly training and have remained responsive when we need help! I’m delighted to recommend them!

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Growth exposes the cracks. When a food business scales globally — new markets, more employees, R&D alongside operations — a platform adequate at 200 people becomes a bottleneck at 1,200. Beyond Meat found that Jostle no longer kept pace with their requirements, was expensive, and wasn't improving productivity. The platform was getting in the way rather than supporting the business.
-
Security, simplicity, and brand alignment are the starting point. Beyond Meat needed seamless Google Workspace authentication, a solution customised to their brand rather than an off-the-shelf look, and a partner who could accelerate the migration. They also needed it to work for 1,200 users across North America, Europe, and Asia from day one.
-
Beyond Meat's Adam Lee put it plainly — unlike other tools, Steegle's solution was genuinely customised to their needs and their brand. Steegle isn't a platform you configure yourself. The team listens, understands the specific business context, and builds accordingly. If the standard tools don't cover something, Steegle develops what's needed — all inside Google Workspace.
-
Food businesses handle proprietary formulations, supplier relationships, and sensitive HR data. With Steegle.One, none of that leaves the organisation's own Google environment. There's no third-party platform between your people and your data. Google's own security and access controls apply throughout.
-
Beyond Meat sought expertise specifically to accelerate their migration rather than doing it in-house over many months. Steegle's experience with Google Sites means the implementation moves fast — design, tooling, and content structure come together quickly because the team has done this many times across many industries.
-
Adam Lee described the Steegle team as always responsive when help was needed, and that ongoing relationship matters as much as the build. This isn't a SaaS platform where you raise a ticket and wait. You have a team that knows your intranet and can respond when things need changing or growing.
-
AI tools like Gemini are only as useful as the content they can find. A global food manufacturer with 1,200 users generates a huge amount of documentation. Steegle.One creates a curated, organised content layer so when employees use AI-assisted search, they get the right answer from a trusted source rather than a pile of unfiltered Drive results.
