I love the fact that I can do away with annoying paper manuals. I can assign employees to different subjects and ALL our company information is available to us with a click of a button. The combination of words and video for our employees has been a game-changer for us!

Trainual is simple to use. You don't need training to figure it out. I love that we can do a screen record, and embed a video to show how to execute a process and we can even test our employees to gauge understanding.

Trainual enables my small business to look and feel to my employees like a big company…especially when it comes to my processes and procedures, training and compliance tools. The program is super easy to use, yet robust enough to accommodate the many types of files and data deposits we wish to share with our staff.

Trainual was the missing piece in the puzzle for us. We’ve been documenting processes for years, but it wasn’t uncommon for employees to say they didn’t know where to look. Trainual helps us close the gap.
