Trainual Systems Software
Trainual comes in at the same price as Whale IO, listed below, and is a very solid choice for most growing businesses. The company was founded in 2018 by Chris Ronzio, who previously was using the software only for his stable of consulting clients. It became so popular that they launched it as a standalone company and never looked back. They are based in Tempe, Arizona and their team has a great facility to work in... trust me, I've been there!
Trainual’s unique offering is a dynamic user App that allows teams who work in the field to access the training procedures on their mobile devices. They are constantly upgrading the software's ease of use and were the first to embed AI learning. This means you can develop new training text without writing as much from scratch, There is even a built-in Org Chart feature - one less thing for you t worry about.
You can think of Trainual as a hybrid between a wiki, knowledge base, intranet, and enterprise training tool. It’s designed for a small business that’s graduating from Google Docs and cluttered Dropbox folders and needs to get started quickly. Trainual, provides a way to capture every process, role, and responsibility, creating a consistent, teachable, and scalable knowledge base, centralized in one place. To learn more, I wrote a whole Blog Post on Trainual.
