SHE Software has acquired StoryShare, moving into the rapidly expanding mobile and micro learning market.
Around 80% of the world’s workforce (2.7 billion people) are deskless and on the frontline, underserved by traditional office-based technology.
StoryShare’s learning and engagement video platform presents short-form and high impact mobile training at the point of need, delivering excellent working practices and strong operational performance at a range of globally recognised clients.
Using a blend of institutional grade video infrastructure and intuitive mobile centric applications, StoryShare drives and measures two-way employee and contractor engagement. Comprehensive behaviour analytics measure effectiveness, allowing customers to adapt rapidly with easy-to-use editor tools.
SHE Software will embed StoryShare’s solution within its health and safety software platform, bringing an additional video training dimension to improving safety and operational performance on the frontline.
The acquisition will allow SHE to offer customers off-the-shelf EHS training courses to basic EHS training and meet compliance standards. It aims to create a positive competitive gap by providing in-the-flow or moment-of-need video training to mitigate risk during hazardous activities or conditions, or as a corrective action following incidents or near-misses.
Matthew Elson, SHE Software CEO said: “The StoryShare platform goes beyond simple compliance, giving our customers the power to present engaging and relevant content ‘in the moment’, embedding safety thinking in day-to-day activity. This is a modern game changer as companies aspire to the next level of safety performance and operational excellence.”
Rob Dumbleton, StoryShare CEO said: “Nothing is more important than reaching every employee, whether it be manufacturing site staff, mobile workers or contracting partners. Our expertise in blending the psychology of learning with intuitive and easy to use software is bringing frontline involvement to a whole new level. We can see a huge potential in using our insight to drive safety engagement and performance.”
