Building a training system without L&D

How a customer support automation platform built 17 courses across 3 departments and cut onboarding time in half

CASE STUDIES
Company size: 60+
Industry: Customer support software (SaaS)
The challenge

Make training scalable without a dedicated L&D team

  • Complex product
    Without a deep understanding of the platform, an employee can't run a demo or close a deal
  • No instructional designer or structured training process
    The company has no L&D department — HR and department heads handle training on top of their core responsibilities
  • Knowledge walks out the door
    Training happened through meetings, presentations, and live walkthroughs, and none of it was documented anywhere
Scaling product knowledge
In the customer support industry, product knowledge directly impacts the quality of client interactions, and for a SaaS company with a technically complex solution, structured training is essential. As the company grew, so did the sales, customer success, and technical support teams, but knowledge stayed in people's heads, scattered across presentations and live meetings. Creating training materials took more time than it was worth, and onboarding new hires was left to HR and department heads.
That's when the company started looking for a platform that could centralize knowledge, speed up onboarding, and bring structure to training.
The solution

With Evolve, the company built a centralized training system on a single platform

The team created 17 courses for 3 departments without a single instructional designer on staff:
  • Onboarding for all new hires
    From accounting to senior management, a single starting point for everyone
  • Training programs by department
    For sales, customer success, and technical support — each department with its own set of courses
  • 21-day onboarding track
    For sales reps, with a step-by-step daily plan and a final assessment
  • Product knowledge courses 
    About the company, products and services, target audience and successful use cases
  • Solution selling
    A sales methodology tailored to the company's product
  • Client communication guidelines
    Response standards, tone of voice, and assessments for support teams
The HR team started with basic courses for the client-facing department. Next, they uploaded existing internal files and presentations to Evolve and converted them into a full onboarding course directly on the platform.
From that point on, HR started building courses independently, and the library grew quickly from there. For a company without an L&D department, this was a game-changer: HR now had a tool that let them build training themselves and scale it across the entire company.
  • x2
    faster onboarding and training for new hires
  • 21 day
    onboarding track for sales reps 
  • 17+ courses
    for 3 departments created on Evolve without involving instructional designers
  • Product and quality training for support teams
    The company started by creating foundational courses on product knowledge and internal quality standards, giving managers a consistent way to assess knowledge and track progress.
  • Company-wide onboarding from existing knowledge
    Existing documentation and knowledge base content were converted into a structured onboarding course. Today, every new hire completes the same onboarding experience and has a single place to access company processes, policies, and key information.
  • Client communication standards
    The company centralized communication guidelines, response standards, and customer interaction best practices in Evolve. Assessments were added to validate understanding, first for support teams and later for customer success.
  • Product knowledge
    A dedicated learning track covering the product, its use cases, customers, and market context. This gave new hires a consistent foundation regardless of their prior experience.
  • Sales enablement
    Years of sales expertise, customer insights, and successful account strategies were captured and converted into structured learning. Sales teams could learn faster and revisit key topics whenever needed.
  • Continuous course development
    The learning system evolved over time. HR identified knowledge gaps through conversations and assessments, then created new courses in Evolve to address emerging needs.
Impact on the business
  • 2x faster onboarding
    Every new hire follows a structured learning path with clear milestones, deadlines, and assessments — reducing onboarding time and ensuring consistent knowledge transfer.
  • Less time spent on training
    Training moved from one-on-one sessions to the platform, freeing HR and managers to focus on higher-value work.
  • Full visibility into progress
    HR can track completion, assessment results, and learning progress in real time, making it easy to identify gaps and provide support.
  • Faster hiring decisions
    Learning activity and assessment results help identify low-engagement or poor-fit hires earlier in the onboarding process.
  • Knowledge stays in the business
    Processes, best practices, and expertise are documented and accessible, reducing dependency on individual employees.
  • A scalable learning system
    New training can be created quickly as needs emerge, allowing the organization to continuously address knowledge gaps and support growth.
