Case Study: Essendant scales personalized learning and boosts workforce engagement with BrainStorm

How Essendant Scaled Personalized Learning and Built a Culture of Growth

Essendant, a wholesale distributor with a workforce of 3,000 employees, faced significant challenges with their outdated Learning Management System. Their diverse team, from warehouse staff to corporate employees, was disengaged due to irrelevant training and struggled to access the system in the field. They needed a modern, flexible solution for personalized learning and partnered with BrainStorm to find it.

By implementing the BrainStorm platform, Essendant created customized learning paths and made training accessible via kiosks and device integration. This solution from BrainStorm led to a remarkable 77% course completion rate, an 8,000% increase in monthly learning interactions, and a 162% month-over-month growth in active users, successfully scaling personalized learning across the entire organization.
