The Challenge

Like many fast-growing companies, Shopware faced the challenge of implementing a comprehensive learning and training management solution that could be easily customized to meet their business needs. They realized that this could only be done with a system that focused on people and their skills, and enabled them to build the right skills infrastructure for future growth.

Shopware wanted a solution that would not only replace their outdated training management system, but also a flexible way to design their own learning paths. In addition, they wanted to achieve these goals with minimal resources, low administrative overhead, and fast processes to focus on strategic priorities.
