Case Study: Yamaha Motor Europe N.V. cuts training costs by 30% with Totara Learn

Yamaha Motor Europe N.V. Saves 30% on Training by Migrating to Totara Learn

Yamaha Motor Europe N.V., the European arm of the global motorcycle and marine-products manufacturer, was relying on spreadsheets and an outdated LMS that couldn’t keep pace with its growing, multilingual operations. Duplicate training content across countries and a lack of centralized management made it hard to standardize learning, save time, or support a diverse range of learners from dealers to corporate staff.

Working with Bright Alley, Yamaha migrated to Totara Learn, implementing audience-based content delivery, personalized learner and manager dashboards, responsive mobile access and integrated reporting. The platform quickly scaled (from 5,000 to 11,500 registered users), cut training costs by 30%, reduced reporting effort by 15%, and increased online learning uptake from 20% to 35%, while providing consistent, multilingual training across Europe.
