Bespoke .NET Training Portal

Training company saves £1000’s per year with bespoke portal solution

Our portal solution helped A&A Training save thousands of pounds per year by resolving admin errors leading to high levels of customer satisfaction, and improved staff efficiency.

Executive brief

Building a unified portal solution

A&A Training provides training for senior nursing and medical clinicians. Every course is tailored to the customers needs, whilst ensuring the highest quality of learning and teaching standards. They reached out to us looking for a unique portal solution that both customers and staff could benefit from.

The challenge

Outdated booking portal

The majority of the company still used legacy systems to manually book training courses and keep instructors in the loop. Documents would often get lost, duplicated, deleted, or took a while to collaborate on.

 

Staff were finding it a challenge to stay productive and the customer satisfaction was slowly dropping.

 

A&A Training wanted to create a branded user interface that both customers and staff could use with ease.

This solution had the potential to bring in 4 key benefits:

collaborate in real-time

reduced human error

go paperless

improve customer satisfaction

The solution

Implementing our Peardrop framework

We pitched a tailored solution using .NET and our PearDrop portal framework. The new admin portal should give them complete control over security and user permissions. On top of that they wanted enhanced mobile performance, so instructors could collect trainee feedback via a single iPad.

 

For the project, we provided a blended team of developers, testers, and DevOps engineers, as the work required. They also signed up for ongoing software support which gave them access to 24/7 helpdesk support.

The results

Skyrocketed customer satisfaction

Staff and instructors reported a significant improvement on what they’re doing on the day-to-day and month-to-month – giving them the opportunity to manage their time better. They also found onboarding to be a much easier process, staff were able to get through technician training and start working quickly.

 

Customer satisfaction is at an all time high with the newly implemented booking functionalities. On top of that, they’ve mitigated the majority of initial logistical errors- likely saving them thousands of pounds every year.

 

A&A Training has been able to use the seamless system to win and receiving returning customers, where other providers in the space lag behind a disjointed manual process.

Analytics cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Websites are being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customise our Websites for you.

Google Analytics
The cookie _gcl_au is used by Google Analytics to understand user interaction with the website.

For example, in order for Google Analytics to determine that two distinct hits belong to the same user, a unique identifier, associated with that particular user, must be sent with each hit.

The analytics.js library accomplishes this via the Client ID field, a unique, randomly generated string that gets stored in the browsers cookies, so subsequent visits to the same site can be associated with the same user.

By default, analytics.js uses a single, first-party cookie named _ga to store the Client ID, but the cookie's name, domain, and expiration time can all be customized. Other cookies created by analytics.js include _gid, AMP_TOKEN and _gac_. These cookies store other randomly generated ids and campaign information about the user.
