Case Study
Compliance with Mandatory Training
Improvement in Dealer Performance
Reduction in Administrative Workload
A global leader in the automotive and heavy machinery industry with a diverse dealer network and internal teams responsible for product support and after-sales service. To maintain high-quality standards and ensure that both dealership employees and internal teams stay knowledgeable about new vehicle models and service protocols, the company required an efficient way to manage and track training completion.
With extensive product lines and service protocols to cover, the company faced several challenges in managing its dealer and employee training programs:
Inconsistent Training Completion and Tracking: Training modules were scattered across multiple platforms, making it difficult for participants to complete mandatory modules and for managers to monitor progress.
Lack of Timely Reminders: Participants often missed training deadlines due to the absence of automated reminders, leading to compliance gaps and incomplete certifications.
Manual Data Entry and Errors: Training data required manual entry into Salesforce, increasing the risk of errors and delays in tracking certifications.
Delayed Incentive Programs: Incentives tied to training completion were often delayed due to lack of real-time access to performance data, leading to reduced motivation among dealers and employees.
The company sought a solution to:
Centralize and automate training tracking for dealers and employees.
Provide timely reminders to ensure training compliance.
Link training performance to incentives to drive motivation and engagement.
Gain real-time insights into training completion and progress to ensure timely interventions.
Minuscule Technologies implemented a Salesforce-LMS integration that centralized training management, automated reporting, and linked training progress to incentives. This end-to-end solution provided a unified platform for monitoring training and ensuring compliance, improving productivity and engagement across the company. Key Components of the Solution:
Seamless LMS Integration with Salesforce: Salesforce was configured to integrate with the company’s LMS, enabling automatic syncing of training progress, scores, and certification dates. Managers could access real-time dashboards within Salesforce, eliminating the need for manual data entry and providing immediate visibility into each participant’s training status.
Automated Reminders and Notifications: The Salesforce system provided automated reminders for upcoming or incomplete training modules directly within the training portal. Notifications were displayed in the portal, keeping both dealers and employees informed and helping ensure that mandatory training was completed on schedule.
Real-Time Reporting on Compliance and Performance: Custom dashboards provided managers with a clear view of training compliance and performance metrics. They could see which dealers or employees were falling behind and address gaps proactively, ensuring timely completion of training requirements and certifications.
Linking Training to Incentive Programs: Salesforce enabled the company to tie training completion to performance incentives. Dealers who completed mandatory training on time qualified for bonuses, while employee performance metrics were also linked to training outcomes, encouraging consistent product knowledge and up-to-date service skills.
