So, what do Mace do?

Mace Business School provides learning and support services to key businesses in the Mace supply chain. Its aim is to work closely with suppliers, offering a range of accredited management training courses, to maintain standards and compliance and improve performance within the supply chain for Mace clients.

And what do they need a training management system for?

After two years of trading, Mace recognised that administration had become too labour intensive, increasingly complex and difficult to control. All courses were booked by telephone and entered manually by the Mace administrators using an email and spreadsheet system. A solution to ease administration, speed up the processes and introduce business improvements was required urgently.

But why use QR codes?

As the training is not Mace specific and accredited to individuals, it is important that accurate records of completion dates are recorded and easily accessible to individual supply chain partners. To simplify this process, all trainees hold a ‘training passport’ with an embedded QR code.

Once scanned the QR code identifies the trainee’s current status including courses completed, ongoing and required, in order to meet accreditation. This is a very simple but effective use of existing technology.
