BlueVolt: The Learning Management System for Channel Industries

What is BlueVolt?

BlueVolt is the LMS (Learning Management System) built to train, certify, and activate external channel partners. Purpose-built for manufacturers, distributors, buying groups, and trade associations, it combines an LMS with a course-sharing network connecting over 1.2 million learners across construction, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and industrial trades.

How is BlueVolt different from a standard LMS?

<LMS platforms are designed for internal employee training only. BlueVolt supports both internal and external channel training, helping manufacturers push product knowledge through their distributor networks and helping distributors onboard employees and access training directly from their suppliers. The Sharing Center and built-in partner network are capabilities you won't find in a general-purpose LMS.
