Case Study: Winnipeg Construction Association streamlines training administration with Arlo

Winnipeg Construction Association saves time on 150+ courses a year with Arlo

The Winnipeg Construction Association (WCA), a large not-for-profit trade association in Manitoba, faced significant administrative inefficiencies in managing its extensive training program. Prior to using Arlo, the process for scheduling over 80 courses annually and handling registrations was entirely manual, relying on Excel spreadsheets for tracking and requiring staff to manually create reminders, invoices, and certificates.

By implementing Arlo's training management system, WCA automated its key processes. The solution utilized Arlo's course templates to drastically reduce the time needed to schedule courses and automated communications for reminders and certificates. This saved a substantial amount of administrative time, removed human error, and enhanced professionalism. Peggy Zurkan estimates that Arlo saved 10-15 minutes per course creation, which amounted to significant hours over 150+ courses annually. The efficiency gains were so great that WCA avoided the need to hire an additional administrator and was able to increase the number of courses offered.
