The LMS that Dealer-FX was using lacked key features — in particular, the company needed a knowledge base and the ability to customize portals and dashboards for each customer while delivering the same content and services.
As their LMS contract neared an end, Dealer-FX sought a solution that would quickly and seamlessly take over from their old LMS while adding these new features.
As Meta Growth planned to launch its retail business, it needed employee training for an entirely new industry. The training solution had to combine eLearning with face-to-face onsite training at retail outlets, and include tracking and reporting of all training activity.
The newness of the retail recreational cannabis industry meant that suitable off-the-shelf content was not available.
The system is very easy to use, for both students and administrators, and you continue to improve it on a regular basis. The SmarterU customer service staff has always been extremely helpful. Most recently, I contacted the sales department with a nonstandard request. It too was met with an open, positive attitude toward working with us to find a solution.
This continues to be a first-rate experience!
