The Connected Worker Platform for Sites That Take Learning Seriously

Close skills gaps before they cost you a shift. Poka delivers learning and development in manufacturing at the point of work, not in a classroom.

See every skills Gap before it costs you a shift

Poka tracks training, skill levels, and certifications for every worker, role, and site in one live view. Supervisors spot coverage gaps the moment they open up, catch expiring certifications early, and know every shift has the right people ready, with no spreadsheets and no guesswork.

Create training content up to 77% faster with AI

Poka's AI turns a senior worker's knowledge, video, or documents into clear, step-by-step training content up to 77% faster than writing it by hand. Teams update instructions the moment a process changes, stay aligned and audit-ready, and cut the paper trail without waiting on someone to write it all down.

Capture and share knowledge before it leaves

Poka gives experienced operators simple tools to share best practices, tips, and fixes right from the floor, capturing knowledge that usually never makes it into a manual. That knowledge becomes instantly searchable, so every team, shift, and site can use it, even after the person who knew it best moves on.

Route every job to a qualified operator, automatically

Poka connects skills data to task assignment, so work like centerlining, changeovers, maintenance, or safety audits routes only to operators who are trained and certified for it. Production keeps moving because the right person is already assigned, not stuck on another line, and every assignment leaves a clear audit trail.
