The Connected Worker Platform for Sites That Take Training Seriously
Cut onboarding time, align employee skills with production needs,
streamline training content delivery, and reinforce a culture of learning on your factory floor.
Onboard new hires faster, without pulling experienced operators off the line
Poka delivers step-by-step new hire training at the machine — role-specific work instructions, videos, and digital checklists on mobile, right at the point of work — so new hires build competency in the flow of real tasks. Supervisors track every operator's progress in real time, spot gaps before they affect production, and spend less time on job shadowing.
See every skills Gap across your workforce and close them faster
Poka's skills matrix gives L&D coordinators and line managers a live view of every operator's competency levels, certification status, and training targets — across roles, shifts, and sites. Set individual or global skills targets, assign training directly from the matrix when gaps appear, and make sure qualified workers are ready to run the right lines when you need them.
Save time creating, delivering, and managing ongoing skills training
Poka embeds work instructions, videos, and multimedia content directly into skills assignments — delivered on mobile, in 30+ languages, at the workstation where the task is performed. Training reaches workers in the flow of real work, so content gets used, competency builds faster, and cross-training becomes easier to manage at scale.
Stay audit-ready without managing compliance training manually
Poka automates the compliance training lifecycle. Revision dates trigger re-certification automatically, dashboards flag past-due training before it becomes a problem, and exams, endorsements, and electronic signatures create the audit trail you need. You spend less time chasing completions and more time closing the gaps that actually matter.
Catch certification lapses before they becomes safety risks
Poka's revision management training tools let you set revision dates on any skill so re-certification happens on schedule. No manual tracking, no chasing workers down, no surprises. Dashboards surface who's overdue and where, so you can allocate resources to close gaps before a lapsed certification affects safety or compliance.
Operators take the lead in their own learning. They learn when they need to, the right way, and without constantly taking other operators away from their work.
