Product Description

Inkling is the learning enablement platform designed for the frontline. Bring learning and doing together to modernize the learner experience and improve engagement, development, and retention. Efficiently onboard employees, ensure continued performance enablement and successfully execute corporate initiatives while gaining actionable insights into frontline execution.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

The LMS has been carrying an unreasonable burden in the employee learning ecosystem. The LMS is a system built for managing learning - such as, managing compliance and certification - but today is often made more complex than what is needed to solve the training needs of the frontline. Inkling recognizes the need for shifting the mindset of employee training - from just learning management to performance enablement. Inkling provides enterprise scale while bringing together learning and doing for the modern, mobile employee.

What do you like best about Inkling?

The ease with which projects can be created and configured is really useful for carrying out my activities without any inconvenience, its interface has a quite simple and intuitive design that guarantees me quick navigation throughout the platform, the fact that it is easy to learn is a great advantage since that way I have no trouble explaining its use to my employees, their customer service team is quite quick in responding to problems and requests that may arise during the use of this application, the fact that it is multi-platform is a great help for me to use this application from my phone, the fact that it allows opening and creating a large number of multimedia files is a great help for my students to view my content quickly and easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inkling?

At the time of making edits to the material, the interface bugs and becomes quite slow, which makes it impossible to make modifications properly to the documents I have saved in the application, so it is preferable to ensure that there are no errors before sharing the information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Inkling solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has been of great help to me to create and visualize multimedia content for my classes in a quite simple and practical way, likewise the fact that I can share it with my students easily, safely, and quickly, and that they can view it without any inconvenience on their devices is something that helps us both a lot to continue with academic pursuits despite the virtual environment.

What do you like best about Inkling?

Inkling has scaled well to our needs in a way that many other (much larger vendors) haven't. We often warn vendors about the seasonality of our training and just how much traffic will change, but Inkling has handled the whole process well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inkling?

Probably the only real dislike is keeping Habitat users and reviewers on a guest account instead of a SSO account. For reviewers who take training, and who are used to signing in via SSO, this can quickly become confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Inkling:

Access to mobile devices across your workforce (depending on the demographics of your associates) is probably one of the biggest considerations along with connectivity in the areas you serve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Inkling solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our content changes with tax law changes and updates to IRS guidance. In addition, we often target training during the tax season to meet specific needs. Inkling keeps us up-to-date with a single source of truth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Inkling?

Project teams at Kohl's have leveraged Inkling for our training needs since 2016. The tool is user-friendly for both exempt and nonexempt Associates, offering an engaging digital experience. The functionality is versatile with the ability to view content on any device. Inkling also offers the ability to communicate project statuses between Corporate and Field Associates, reduce print materials, and analyze content use and engagement, all of which support our overall goal of achieving operational excellence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inkling?

Other than alphabetically, there doesn't appear to be another method of organization for the Library. With a number of departments (20) utilizing the tool, finding team-specific documents is challenging. It would be helpful to offer another way to organize content across multiple departments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Inkling solving and how is that benefiting you?

Just-in-time training for our Associates

An engaging, interactive experience

Response from Chris Tratar of Inkling

Hi there Theresa! We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review for us. One thought we had in response to your comment about Library organization was the use of our Collections feature. Inkling allows you to create Collections that live at the top of your Library and in some cases it makes sense to have one Collection for each department that has access. If this is of any interest to you I'd recommend reaching out to your Inkling representative to learn more about this feature.

What do you like best about Inkling?

Similar to Mailchimp, Inkling allows for plug & play content with a very professional looking result, with minimal technical/design skills needed. It's so easy to use, quick to add copy, images, videos, quizzes and more. The content looks great on the mobile app as well as online, and is easy for users to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inkling?

The process for adding users to various modules is pretty cumbersome. It requires upkeep of a giant spreadsheet and use of Cyberduck with every upload. I also wish companies could brand the app logo to avoid user confusion. Users have to look for the Inkling logo on their phones to find our brand's content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Inkling:

There is really no other comparable app for managing and distributing content like Inkling does. They also really prioritize feedback and work it into future product updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Inkling solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Inkling for training instructors. All instructors go through a live training as well, but we assign pre-training reading as well as assessments. This ensures that everyone is on the same page when they arrive at the live training. They also have the material to reference back to at any time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Chris Tratar of Inkling

Whitney, thanks for taking the time to write a review! Did you know that our upcoming Audiences feature will make it much more efficient and transparent to control content distribution at enterprise scale? It will let you define and manage saved distribution groups (Audiences), and then use them to distribute both Inkdocs and Notices to your users. You'll also get access to a new dashboard for better visibility into who has access to what at any time. This feature will be available early 2019 and we hope you find it helpful!

What do you like best about Inkling?

I like that I can create the content myself and share easily with other countries for translation, building a library of content is easy, easy for users to access Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inkling?

Not enough interactivity, On the backend it has been hard to track productivity of users because of the way our business is structured we aren't able to give a login for a user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Inkling solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's easier to reach our wide range of employees globally. Most use it as a tool to learn before they come to a training environment so it's not exactly adding new info but giving them a glimpse of what they will learn eventually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Inkling?

I appreciate the organization of user interface. Creating interactive textbooks that may be accessed from a desktop or mobile app is convenient and smart for today's market, especially a fast-paced retail environment. When something needs to be referenced, a user can search through their library and easily jump pages to find what's needed with little delay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Inkling?

I don't love the proprietary editing interface, and the mobile app has been a challenge for some users. I would also like to see more options for customization, especially with tests and quizzes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Inkling:

I feel that the usefulness of Inkling could be somewhat limited by the number of employees. For my company, while we fall into the 10,000 + category, employees are divided by many locations making operations and business needs feel like a smaller business. I feel it would be very difficult to manage training for the entire company with Inkling if it weren't for that structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Inkling solving and how is that benefiting you?

It provides an easily accessible digital library of resources for a fast-paced retail company with MANY levels of stakeholders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
