Case Study: United Biscuits cuts training costs by 89% and saves 500 staff hours with Kallidus Learn

United Biscuits streamlined learning and development, releasing nearly 500 staff hours in three months and cutting training costs by 89%

United Biscuits, maker of brands like McVitie’s and Jacob’s, operates seven UK sites with 4,600 employees and 24/7 production lines. With over 80% of staff on factory floors and complex shift patterns plus multiple legacy systems, the company struggled to schedule mandatory training, evidence compliance and close skills gaps without disrupting production.

Kallidus Learn’s mobile-friendly LMS let United Biscuits deliver, track and report training across the business and enable learning on the go. In the first three months the rollout cut training costs by 89% and saved nearly 500 staff hours, removed the need for complex classroom scheduling, reduced production downtime and improved ongoing compliance tracking for safety-critical roles.
