For years, many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have relied on Excel spreadsheets to manage training schedules, track attendance, and record employee progress. While Excel is flexible, it quickly becomes a bottleneck as teams grow, training programs expand, and reporting needs become more complex.
This is where EverLMS transforms the game—by automating training management from end to end.
1. The Limitations of Excel in Training Management
Manual Data Entry: Updating spreadsheets for dozens or hundreds of employees is time-consuming and prone to errors.
No Real-Time Tracking: Managers can’t instantly see who has completed training or who is falling behind.
Difficult Collaboration: Multiple trainers editing the same file often leads to version conflicts.
Lack of Engagement: Excel is great for numbers, but it doesn’t deliver an engaging learning experience.
2. How EverLMS Automates the Process
EverLMS centralizes all training activities in a single, user-friendly platform, eliminating the need for endless spreadsheets.
Key automations include:
Automatic Enrollment: New hires are instantly added to required courses.
Real-Time Progress Tracking: Managers see up-to-date reports without manual updates.
Auto-Graded Quizzes: Assessment results are recorded instantly.
Certificate Generation: Issued automatically upon course completion.
