6 Biggest Benefits of Moving to an Online Training Tracking System

  1. Everything In One Place
  2. It’s Safer
  3. Easy Upload
  4. Available Anytime, Anywhere
  5. Expiration Notifications
  6. Automate Training Assignments

Everything In One Place

There is nothing more frustrating than having to search multiple boxes, computers or storage rooms for your employee’s training records. By moving your records into an online tracking system, you’ll only have to search one place (one that comes with a robust suite of reporting suite of reporting tools, alerts, and notifications).

It’s Safer

Paper records are extremely susceptible to both water and fire damage. Records that simply live on a single computer’s hard drive are susceptible to computer crashes. By taking your training records online, you can rest easy knowing that all of your records are stored on a secure cloud-based platform, on Canadian servers.

Easy Upload

Worried about transferring all your files? Set Safety’s Training Record Management System offers an Excel or API technology that makes it quick and easy to upload thousands of training records in minutes.

Available Anytime, Anywhere

Online tracking systems allow you to access records across multiple devices, so whether you’re at your desk or on the job site, you’re able to access the information you need quickly and easily.

Expiration Notifications

Don’t wait until your employee is on the job site to find out their training has lapsed. With our easy to set up notification system, you’ll receive email alerts when an employee’s training is about to expire and how to take the required training. 90 days, 60 days, 30 days and at time of expiry, these monthly notifications are pushed out. Training-Gap reporting is available 24/7 for system administrators as well!

Automate Training Assignments

With the training matrix integration, you can set custom training requirements for each role type and location across your company. When a new profile is created, the employee will receive all the applicable training courses based on their position and location. Create your own online course library or sync our massive online training course catalog to auto-assign courses, modules, quizzes, policy sign-offs and more directly to your employees!
