A simple, manageable system for Tool Store
which reduced administrative overhead

The Need

 
Tool Store UK Wholesalers were looking to introduce a structured learning solution that could support their workforce without adding unnecessary complexity or cost.

During their research phase, they reviewed around 12 different providers and found that many solutions either exceeded budget, lacked relevant content, or were difficult to manage day to day.

Their key requirements were clear:

• A cost-effective learning solution that stayed within budget
• A wide variety of courses to meet immediate and future training needs
• Content that supported different learning styles, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach
• A platform that was easy to navigate and manage, both for learners and administrators
• A provider who would take time to understand the business, rather than deliver a generic pitch

In short: How do we implement a learning platform that is affordable, versatile, and easy to use, while still meeting the needs of our people?

Client Comments

 

“During the research phase, we looked at approximately 12 different providers. The reason we went with Skillshub was a mix of things – the pricing was within our budget and the variety of courses on offer suited our requirements.

In terms of content and the different ways people learn, the versatility was there and the platform itself seemed very easy to navigate and manage.

The demonstration was succinct, and Skillshub clearly took time to understand us as a business.”
