Agriculture Training LMS & Certification Cloud for South African Agri Brands

Every new active ingredient or hybrid follows the same four steps in the LMS: product profile, recommended rate, safety brief, then an assessment. The SFA holds orders on that pack until the officer passes it. Because the result lands the moment it is marked, a brand team can compare readiness in the Free State against Limpopo or the Western Cape long before launch week, instead of finding the gap once selling has started.

Turnover behind an agri-input counter is heavy, and it peaks exactly when planting starts. The HR module enrols each new starter onto a two-week path on the day their record is created: the range, the leading pack profiles, how to handle a grower's question, and a closing check. Everything is sized for a phone, so it gets done between customers. A branch-level view then shows which outlets are counter-ready and which still have people outstanding.

Operators work through SAHPRA-aligned video lessons and checks covering mixing, dosage, PPE, withholding periods and storage. Each certificate carries an expiry date, and the platform prompts a renewal before it lapses. Where a loyalty scheme is attached, the rand payout goes out by instant EFT, PayShap or card, and only against a certificate that is still valid — so the brand can show exactly who was cleared to handle the product, and when.

It does, and the four share one calendar and one learner record. A classroom day at a Johannesburg or Bloemfontein office is marked with selfie attendance. Virtual sessions keep a participation log. In-store coaching is captured while the rep is standing at the dealer counter. Self-paced decks download to an entry-level handset. You mix the modes to suit the audience instead of running four separate systems.

A bank can hold single-answer, multi-select, fill-in and image-based items together. Each attempt draws a randomised selection from it, so two people sitting side by side do not get the same paper. Pass marks, retake allowances and the wait between attempts are set module by module. Marking is automatic, and the weak-topic report tells the content team which lesson is not landing.

A tier opens only once the officer has finished the level below it and cleared the score threshold. The next one brings harder content: complex formulations, dosage across several crops, and key-account material for larger commercial growers. The SFA reads that tier and limits which crops and products the officer may quote, which keeps someone half-trained out of a launch that matters.

Certification records sync from the LMS across to the SFA as they change. When an agronomist opens a quote, raises an order or books a trial plot on a new pack, the app checks status first. If nothing valid is on file the action stops, and the officer is sent back to the module that unlocks it. The practical effect: no grower gets a dosage recommendation from someone not cleared to give one.

Yes. Farm blocks and long rural routes are exactly where coverage runs thin, and mobile data is not cheap, so the app is built to keep working without a connection. An agronomist pulls the modules down on Wi-Fi at the depot or branch, then studies between farm calls. Attempts and completions are held on the handset and pushed up the next time a signal appears, so nobody has to remember to sync.

A brand manager gets readiness cut by province, role and crop category. A regional manager watches completion pace, average scores and who is falling behind. Expiry views drive the renewal push each season. And 1Voice AI takes a plain question — "show me herbicide certification across KwaZulu-Natal" — and answers it without a custom report being built first.

Yes. REST APIs connect to SAP SuccessFactors, Workday, BambooHR and the like, so a new hire lands on the correct learning path without anyone re-keying them. SCORM and xAPI packages let you drop in third-party libraries covering safety, regulatory or SAHPRA-aligned stewardship material. Sign-in runs through your own identity provider over SSO.
