"I love having a central location where we can document all the processes and policies."
What do you like best about Trainual?

We started using Trainual about 3 1/2 years ago when we had an integration of 3 separate teams. It was the perfect solution then and continues to be a great solution where we can document all the processes adn policies in one place. Whenever a team member has a question about a process or policy, it's easy to just send the link to the Trainual that documents that process. I love the ability to add videos, external links, and quizzes to ensure understanding.

What do you dislike about Trainual?

This is less about Trainual itself and more about a recommendation for the way you set things up. I would recommend having one Admin who can manage the information. Things used to be more organized, but then we added additional teams to our account and they got a bit mixed up.

What problems is Trainual solving and how is that benefiting you?

With reorganizations and turnover over the years across our teams, Trainual has helped us to have one source of training information that we can all reference.

"Makes the Chaos manageable! We love Trainual!"
What do you like best about Trainual?

We have used Trainual for all of our employee onboarding. We use Trainual for all of our SOP's (standard operating procedures). It is the place where everything important goes. A frequent saying around here is "Put that in Trainual!" Trainual is so easy to use. I highly recommend it.

What do you dislike about Trainual?

I honestly can't think of anything. I'm happy overall.

What problems is Trainual solving and how is that benefiting you?

Training is the most important problem solver of Trainual. I can sit a new employee down and still work as they onboard. Managing our SOP's is the second thing that Trainual solves. Plus it is so EASY and user friendly.

"Customer Service Representative"
What do you like best about Trainual?

The simplicity and organization of Trainual. It is beneficial when training and moving forward in the company. One of the best things is the completion graph for me.

What do you dislike about Trainual?

At first is was figuring out the order of things and what each tabbed did. Now I am finally getting use to how things work and what is in the processes.

What problems is Trainual solving and how is that benefiting you?

Training the team and keeping us all on the same page as to our terminology and what the company is all about.

"Perfectly imperfect"
What do you like best about Trainual?

Trainual has amazing customer service; someone is always ready to answer your question(s) in the chat. We have been enjoying Trainual at all levels of our company. We just had our first round of hires use Trainual instead of a manual training guide, and it's made a world of difference. The search bar is such a helpful tool (even after the training process) to reference any topic. Additionally, with a quick click, you can easily update information at any level of a manual.

What do you dislike about Trainual?

Trainual is a new, evolving platform, so it's not perfect. There seem to be coding or engineering problems that are causing the text to be displayed in a different font when it is bold, underlined, or italic. However, this is an issue that they are already aware of and working on a solution for. Additionally, formatting numbers/bullets and photos can be somewhat challenging to get it exactly how you want it. You can't copy pictures out of Trainual.

What problems is Trainual solving and how is that benefiting you?

With employees all over the country, Trainual makes it easy. It allows employees to access not only our policies and procedures but their specific role and responsibilities within the company from anywhere. While our training process takes place in person, it is easy to assign them subjects to follow along with. If they have questions or concerns after training, they can easily find the answer (most of the time) by searching Trainual rather than asking someone.

"Love Trainual!"
What do you like best about Trainual?

Totally game changer for running my business in regards to training and HR. There's no questions anymore about how something should be done and the expectations I have of my team

What do you dislike about Trainual?

Cant really think of anything! Maybe less options to set up with to begin with, there's so many choices of templates to use - but with enough time to look through them all I can see there's something for everyone !

What problems is Trainual solving and how is that benefiting you?

HR- training and developing the team. Being able to have meaningful conversations in 121s about processes and how they are being followed (or not) and when a change is needed, we can quickly and easily change the modle and send it out to everyone else

"Seamless and easy process utilising great technology"
What do you like best about Trainual?

Trainual enables our firm to learn quickly and seamlessly using the best technology. The graphic design of the website puts all the information in a neat and orderly way.

What do you dislike about Trainual?

It would be helpful if Trainual had a function where the user was able to revisit the sections they have completed and leave course notes for our own review when needing further information on a topic.

What problems is Trainual solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is helping new staff that join our firm learn our processes in a quick and seamless manner, by doing this it makes our whole team more productive and means less time needs to be spent training.

"Amazing!"
What do you like best about Trainual?

Trainual is an excellent tool and has been so helpful in pushing out important information to our team. It's simple and easy to use with a user-friendly interface that's not too bogged down with unnecessary information. I like that I can see reports that track completion. There are also tons of customization options to fine-tune the trainings we create and really make them what we want them to be. I would highly recommend this software.

What do you dislike about Trainual?

I create trainings in PowerPoint and it is a little tedious to save each slide individually as a photo to upload them into the training steps. I would love to see some integrations with PowerPoint to make this a little simpler.

What problems is Trainual solving and how is that benefiting you?

Trainual has made it easy to push out monthly trainings to help our team continue to grow in line with company values and beliefs. It has created more accountability for everyone across the board as everyone understands the expectations for trainings, as well as more opportunities for our team members to really thrive in their roles.

"Must have, Onboarding, Policy And Procedure BIBLE."
What do you like best about Trainual?

Centralized, Easy to use, and Intuitive in design. Trainual takes the Intimidation of the BEHEMOTH, Known by many names, But simply put, "The Handbook." Developing your business to preserve the ideals, policy, and structure that got you here is detrimental to the execution of the scalability of your business. Trainual provides a platform to store and develop the hundreds of hours of work necessary to make it Unique to your business.

What do you dislike about Trainual?

The vastly open-ended possibilities make structuring and figuring out where to start challenging. We had to sit down as a group of guys who had never done this but knew the direction we were headed. We had to develop our framework for even starting the first sets of paperwork and rubric for organizing. A one size fits all Model to represent the ideal organization and base level through final details would be helpful; as noted, it is a behemoth! While it's obvious to start one bite at a time. It can feel like every bite you take is made up of 2-6 other bites to be made before, and those all seem to have 2-3 Bites needed before you can start the previous. Forward progress seems to push out the finish line through the ability to become unruly with direction; one step forward develops six steps to be rounded back to. I.E., How do you Write a Job Description for a receptionist if you don't have a process and policy for first opening the office, handling incoming calls, scheduling appointments, etc.

What problems is Trainual solving and how is that benefiting you?

The Ability to centralize and simplify the intake, onboarding and training process. I can do it once and log it away; The expectations are set, and all that is left to do is manage and hold those in the know accountable.

"Trainual has been an amazing experience for me. It is easy to use and there a ton of resources."
What do you like best about Trainual?

That it is very user-friendly, and it didn't take long to get the hang of our process when adding things to Trainual. I love that Trianual experts are easy to access.

What do you dislike about Trainual?

My only qualm is that there should be something to check things off within a process, like a checklist after someone has already been trained. There have been a couple of situations where I've had to print copies of what I would have liked to see on Trainual.

What problems is Trainual solving and how is that benefiting you?

Adding new features to things. I love the trainual tags and Trainual University! I would love if more things came out on Trainual University. Trainual University was the key I needed to succeed.

"Easy to use system"
What do you like best about Trainual?

Love the webinars, they are engaging and informative.

What do you dislike about Trainual?

I would prefer to have more control over access instead of just admin w/ everything vs. other roles. Also, it would be beneficial if a course could be administered annually w/ a historical copy retained of the previous courses taken by the same employee yet giving the new certificate of completion showing current year.

What problems is Trainual solving and how is that benefiting you?

Administering onboarding and allowing automization instead of in person trainings for the beginning process.
