Case Study: Grafton Group achieves a centralised global, multi-brand learning platform and rapid rollout with Kallidus Learn

Kallidus implements centralised global learning platform for Grafton Group

Grafton Group, a multinational distributor of building materials operating 675 branches with more than 10 businesses, 40 brands and 13,000 employees, faced fragmented learning provision that left some sites without eLearning, others using up to five different platforms, and no consistent way to deliver mandatory training across regions and languages. The decentralised systems were difficult to use, lacked flexibility and made it hard to get a clear, group-wide view of learning activity.

Grafton selected Kallidus Learn for its multi‑language support, branding and personalization for individual business units, and mobile accessibility, then rolled the platform out in phases across the group in under six months. The solution enabled centralized user and role provisioning, tailored course visibility by business, and local engagement tactics (for example a BuildMate onboarding competition); Grafton now has a single, scalable global platform and plans to use learner feedback and usage data to inform its L&D strategy going forward.
