Fuuz by MFGx is revolutionizing the manufacturing sector with its next-generation Manufacturing Execution System (MES).
As a leader in providing applications, middleware integration services, and a robust cloud-based platform, Fuuz is committed to ensuring their clients and internal teams are thoroughly trained and equipped to utilize their solutions effectively.
To discuss this transformation, Robert Bierwagen, Director of Services at Fuuz, shared how they enhanced their training programs with Teachfloor.
Embracing Change: The Need for an Advanced Training Solution
When Robert joined Fuuz, he quickly identified a critical challenge: the existing Learning Management System was inadequate for their growing needs. The old LMS was rigid and not user-friendly, creating barriers for users and limiting the training program’s effectiveness.
"We had an LMS that was tied to our workflow system and client case system," Robert explained. "It wasn't flexible, and getting users logged in and engaged was a struggle. We needed something more dynamic that could cater to our varied audience, including internal staff, partners, and clients."
Finding the Perfect Fit: Why Teachfloor Stood Out
After a search for a more flexible and engaging platform, Fuuz decided on Teachfloor. The decision was driven by Teachfloor's user-friendly interface, robust features, and ability to support both public and private training sessions.
"Teachfloor’s intuitive design was a key factor for us," Robert noted. "We selected Teachfloor about nine months ago, and it has were able to quickly incorporate it into our training process. The platform’s organizational invite feature has significantly streamlined our onboarding process, eliminating the issues we had with previous email invites."
Teachfloor provided Fuuz with the flexibility they needed to deliver comprehensive training that was accessible and engaging for all users.
Crafting a Hybrid Training Model
With Teachfloor, Fuuz implemented a hybrid training model that combines the best of online and in-person training. This approach allows users to access training materials at their own pace while benefiting from interactive, real-time sessions.
"Our training now includes pre-training resources, follow-up materials, and ongoing support," Robert said. "Teachfloor’s platform is excellent for embedding videos, quizzes, and other interactive elements, making our training much more engaging and effective."
This hybrid model has proven to be especially beneficial for Fuuz’s diverse user base, including manufacturing floor operators, warehouse staff, and software developers.
Transformative Features: Enhancing Training Efficiency
Teachfloor’s features have been instrumental in enhancing the training experience for Fuuz’s users. The ability to embed quizzes and certifications within the training modules has made it easier to track progress and ensure comprehension.
"Teachfloor’s customer-facing aspects are comprehensive and well designed," Robert emphasized. "The platform’s presentation, ease of use, and the ability to embed quizzes and certifications have greatly enhanced our training program. It’s made a significant difference in how users interact with and absorb the material."
Overcoming Challenges: Adapting to Teachfloor
Transitioning to a new LMS can be daunting, but Robert and his team found Teachfloor to be straightforward and effective. Despite some initial learning curves, the benefits quickly became apparent.
"It took some time to get used to the new system, but Teachfloor’s support team was incredibly helpful," Robert said. "The organizational invite feature has been particularly valuable, reducing the issues we previously faced with email invites not going through."
Teachfloor’s support has been a key factor in the successful transition, ensuring that the Fuuz team could fully leverage the platform’s capabilities.
Continuous Improvement: Future Plans with Teachfloor
Looking ahead, Fuuz plans to further expand their use of Teachfloor’s features, incorporating more certifications and assessments to validate user competencies. The goal is to continue enhancing the training program and ensuring that all users are well-equipped to succeed.
"We’re just scratching the surface of what Teachfloor can do," Robert shared. "We’re excited to explore more of its features and continue improving our training programs. There’s a lot of potential for growth, and we’re confident that Teachfloor will help us achieve our goals."
Real Results: Positive Feedback and Measurable Success
Since adopting Teachfloor, Fuuz has received positive feedback from users and seen measurable improvements in training efficiency and user engagement. The platform’s interactive elements and user-friendly design have made a significant impact.
"Our users have found Teachfloor to be intuitive and easy to use," Robert said. "The customer-facing aspects of the platform are excellent, and the ability to embed interactive elements has made our training more engaging. We’ve seen a marked improvement in user satisfaction and training completion rates."
Conclusion: A Partnership for Success
Teachfloor has become a critical tool for Fuuz, providing a flexible, engaging, and efficient platform for delivering high-quality training. As Fuuz continues to innovate and expand, Teachfloor will play a crucial role in supporting their training needs and ensuring that all users receive the best possible education.Robert concluded.
