Case Study: SOCOTEC achieves 30% faster time-to-productivity and €500K potential incremental revenue with 360Learning

Onboarding - Reduce time-to-productivity of new employees by 30%

SOCOTEC, a European leader in testing, inspection and certification with 9,000 technical experts across 25 countries, faced a recurring onboarding challenge: rapidly training new technical staff every month, involving senior subject-matter experts to ensure technical accuracy, and giving field teams ongoing access to dense onboarding content. Traditional in-person sessions were costly and unscalable, while their LMS-only approach suffered low completion and slow content updates.

Using 360Learning’s Collaborative Learning platform, SOCOTEC built a blended onboarding program with co-authoring, expert-to-learner connections and robust analytics, piloted with 150 electrical technicians. The initiative cut time-to-productivity by 30% (saving 800 billable days on the pilot), produced an estimated €500,000 in potential incremental revenue, drove 1,500 monthly user reactions (93% positive), and created a scalable model now being expanded across the company.
