 LONDON, UK  – Cobent won a major new account for its high functionality e-learning solution, Cobent® LCMS. Harveys, the UK furniture retailer owned by the Homestyle group of companies, is rolling out Cobent® LCMS across 170 of its stores.
 
What makes the account win interesting is that Cobent® LCMS will be pre-loaded with learning content developed specifically for Harveys by Cobent. Not only that, but Harveys staff will access the learning materials through their EpoS system.
Cobent is delivering health & safety, sales, and induction training content. To enhance functionality and relevance to the business as a whole, Cobent® LCMS is also integrated with Harveys’ HR systems.
“We’re really excited with the rollout for Harveys,” said Howard Sears, Cobent’s managing director. “In furniture retailing, staff have periods of downtime between customers. That’s the ideal moment for personalised learning sessions delivered right where they work – on the sales floor. When a customer needs help, the staff member can switch back to serving, then pick up again where they left off,” he said.
“Cobent®LCMS, is a great product in its own right. Having it delivering learning to the sales floor so our staff can respond instantly to customers’ needs is where Cobent have really added value,” said Steve Baker, Harveys’ National Training Manager.
