Built for How Your Organization Learns and Grows

Connect learning, performance, and compensation in one unified platform.

01 - INTEGRATION

Native connection to performance & compensation

When a manager identifies a skill gap in a PerformSpark review, Trainery can automatically assign the right learning journey. When a CompBldr compensation analysis flags a development gap, a learning path is triggered. No middleware, Zapier, or monthly sync jobs are needed because it is the same database.

Connect performance signals with learning workflows

02 - CLOSED LOOP

Learning outcomes feed back into reviews & pay

Course completions, coaching progress, and credential attainments surface directly in the employee's performance record and IDP. Compensation planning can use learning impact data to see whether a development investment delivered. The loop closes, something no standalone LMS or TMS can do.

→ L&D investment becomes visible in performance and compensation data

03 - HERITAGE

35+ years in customer training - not a feature, a foundation

Trainery started as a customer training company. External learner portals, multi-tenant architecture, and training-company-grade delivery are built into the platform. Train employees and external audiences such as policyholders, vendors, resellers, and members from the same system.

Built on a long-standing focus on customer and corporate training

04 - MODULARITY

Start with one module. Expand without re-platforming

Every Trainery module is independently purchasable. Start with the corporate LMS. Add the training management system when you need operational structure, and add employee coaching software when development programs expand. Add modules as requirements grow without replacing the learning platform.

Choose your Module, add another when ready

05 - OPERATIONS

A TMS connected to learning and workforce data

Standalone TMS tools are strong at scheduling and logistics, but they are disconnected from LMS and coaching data. TraineryTMS combines training scheduling with LMS activity, coaching records, and performance outcomes to support adaptive learning journeys in real time.

Compare operational depth, learning context, and data connectivity during evaluation

06 - SIMPLICITY

One vendor. One contract. One support relationship.

The alternative to Trainery isn't one competitor, it's three or four. An LMS vendor, a TMS vendor, a coaching tool, and a credential tracker. Each with their own contract, renewal date, support queue, and integration to break. Trainery collapses that complexity into a single platform, a single bill, and a single team that knows your business.

Consolidate learning workflows that would otherwise require multiple tools

One System. Three Outcomes. Total Alignment.

Powered by one unified platform across Trainery, PerformSpark, and CompBldr.

PerformSpark ➜ Trainery

A manager marks a skill gap in a performance review. Trainery automatically enrolls the employee in the aligned learning journey, no manual assignment needed.

Trainery ➜ PerformSpark

Course completions, coaching milestones, and credential attainments appear directly in the employee's performance record and IDP. The next review cycle has the full picture.

CompBldr ➜ Trainery

A compensation gap analysis identifies roles where pay is misaligned due to skill deficits. A targeted learning journey is triggered to close the gap before the next comp cycle.

Trainery ➜ CompBldr

Completed certifications, credential attainments, and skill completions feed into compensation planning, ensuring pay decisions reflect actual demonstrated capability.

PerformSpark ➜ CompBldr

Performance ratings and goal achievement flow directly into compensation planning. Managers see performance context when building comp recommendations, no spreadsheet exports.

All Three ➜ TraineryCORE

Learning, review, and compensation workflows can reference a shared workforce record in TraineryCORE, helping reduce manual reconciliation across connected processes.

35+

Years in Customer & Corporate Training

Trainery didn't start as an HR software company that added learning. We started as a learning company. External training, instructor-led delivery, and customer-facing portals aren't features we built, they're the original product. That heritage is what makes Trainery structurally different from every other option in this space.

Trainery vs. The Rest

Most TMS platforms focus only on scheduling. Most LMS platforms do not manage training operations. Trainery is built to do both and connect the results to your HCM.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a TMS and an LMS?

An LMS manages online course delivery, hosting eLearning, tracking completion, managing learner records. A TMS manages the operations of live instructor-led training - scheduling, instructors, venues, registrations, attendance, and costs. Most organizations need both and end up with two separate tools. Trainery includes both in a single platform with a unified data model.

Why choose Trainery over Training Orchestra?

Training Orchestra is a solid TMS for scheduling ILT. But if you also need an LMS, coaching management, credential tracking, or a content library, you need additional vendor contracts alongside it. Trainery includes everything, TMS, LMS, coaching, credentials, ILT, and content with one contract, one data model, and one support team. Organizations switching typically reduce their vendor count from 3–4 to 1.

How does Trainery compare to Getadministrate?

Getadministrate focuses on training operations management for training companies and extended enterprise programs. Trainery offers comparable TMS functionality and adds an integrated LMS (SCORM/xAPI), coaching administration, automated credential tracking, and native performance management integration, all on a single data model.

How does Trainery compare to Arlo?

Arlo is strong at event scheduling, online registration, and basic reporting, popular with training providers and associations. Trainery overlaps with those event management capabilities and extends significantly beyond them: adding an LMS, coaching administration, credential tracking, role-based compliance forecasting, and a 5,000+ course library.
