Frontline Workers & Tech Adoption

 

Why is systems training different from other types of training?
Enterprise apps and systems that are incorporated into employee workflows are often complex, not lending itself well in traditional classroom training through PowerPoint or video. 

A hands-on approach is much more effective to increase retention and reinforce positive behaviors over time.
How is training your frontline different than training knowledge workers?
Knowledge workers have the luxury of training on desktops and access to consistent broadband connectivity.
 
Frontline workers are often remote, need their training on mobile devices, and do not always have consistent connectivity.
 
Additionally, they don't have easy access to immediate support resources when they get stuck or need help on their applications.
 
Most importantly, frontline workers cannot complete their work tasks without effectively using their essential technology.
What are the real costs associated with poor tech adoption?

Mobile apps and technology are now essential tools for your frontline workforce. But adoption, especially for frontline workers, can be challenging. 

 

When your essential technology isn't used the right way by the frontline, it causes real problems in your operations. You can see some examples and learn more about the costs associated with poor tech adoption here

What Makes Skyllful's Approach Unique?

What does Skyllful do?

Skyllful is on-device app simulation software designed for frontline workers. Skyllful teaches frontline workers how to use apps on their devices.

What makes Skyllful different than other approaches for systems training & app adoption?
Skyllful combines three complementary elements (authoring tools, mobile learning, and analytics) into a unified platform to solve the unique problem of systems training for frontline workers.
 
The Skyllful mobile digital adoption platform allows you to create high-fidelity simulations of your production software without the need for APIs or integration. Employees get access to training and support in a safe sandboxed environment outside the production software. This allows frontline workers to develop proficiency with new applications/features before they go live. 
 
 
 
What makes Skyllful different from other digital adoption platforms (DAPs)?

Other digital adoption platforms (DAPs) are optimized for in-app guidance on browser-based web apps principally targeted at knowledge workers; for use with mobile apps.

Other DAPs require API integration with your current software.

What type of training does Skyllful support?
Skyllful is specifically designed for frontline worker mobile app and systems training. Skyllful supports training for Android, iOS, browser-based, and desktop applications.
What problems can Skyllful solve?

What is a Mobile Digital Adoption Platform?

Which mobile platforms do you support?
Skyllful currently supports iOS and Android on mobile devices, and Chrome browsers on desktop, in any language.
What makes Skyllful different than traditional e-learning content authoring tools?
Content authoring inside Skyllful Studio is optimized for creating high-fidelity app simulations. Traditional authoring tools are not designed for systems training and therefore don't provide the tools necessary to create interactive app simulations, nor the ease of use to maintain them.
 
 
How does the learning content get created?
Skyllful includes content authoring capabilities within Studio, that allows instructional designers to design, create, and deliver lesson simulations.
 
Customers can create content using their existing internal instructional design resources, via partners, or by taking advantage of Skyllful's content development services.
Can Skyllful help save time or costs associated with systems training?

Skyllful provides many time and cost saving advantages over traditional approaches to systems training. 

 

Because Skyllful Studio is specifically designed for creating app simulations and systems training, it's easier and faster to develop and maintain content.

 

And the ability to deliver self-guided mobile learning via Skyllful Simulator reduces or eliminates the need for instructor led training.

Can Skyllful's analytics integrate with my existing LMS or LRS?

Skyllful data and learning analytics can be exported to your LMS or LRS via xAPI or CSV

Contact us about other possible custom integrations.

Does Skyllful run on our production app environment or within a separate training test environment?

Neither.

Skyllful is deployed as a SaaS-based software solution, that doesn't require standing up additional production or test environments. Because Skyllful creates app simulations without the need for integrating with production apps or data, it creates a secure "sand-boxed" environment for systems training.

How long does it take to implement Skyllful?

Because Skyllful is deployed as SaaS, it requires only minor setup, so you can get up and running quickly with our software. 

 

Our enterprise setup includes installation of Skyllful Simulator app through your existing device management, connections to your organizations identity management/SSO, and configuration of Skyllful IQ analytics.

 

Content development time varies based on the complexity of your existing production application and any existing training materials.

 

Typically, our customers can begin delivering learning within 2 - 3 months.

Content Development & Lesson Creation

How do Skyllful Simulations get created?
