Case study HAKO: training costs reduced by almost 1 million euros
Academy HUB auf einen Blick. (Wem er wann hilft, Use Cases, Szenarien & Vorteile)
Many highly experienced employees leave the company for reasons such as retirement. At the same time, the requirements for new specialists are increasing - but structured onboarding and offboarding processes are often lacking. Traditional in-person training is expensive, resource-intensive and often difficult to scale. Without systematic knowledge retention, there is a risk of production downtime, safety risks and declining quality.
With bitnamic CONNECT-Academy HUB, training processes can be digitized - from content creation to automated monitoring of performance. Learning modules can be accessed flexibly, progress documented and certificates awarded. Live sessions, quizzes and interactive elements ensure variety and lasting learning success. The system enables location-independent learning - even during shift work.

The platform also offers additional potential for customer training. Companies are able to provide training content for products or machine models externally - digitally, scalably and in multiple languages. This creates new sales channels while simultaneously relieving the workload on service and sales.
