Continuous learning is vital for staying ahead, yet traditional learning management systems (LMS) often lack the tailored functionality professionals require. That’s where HR Jetpack, a Massachusetts-based company specializing in Human Resources (HR) training, came in to innovate.

A custom solution for human resource professionals

HR Jetpack, an official SHRM Education Partner, set out to create a training solution specifically for HR professionals. Their offerings include self-paced courses and event registration, designed with unique features, seamless integrations, and automation to streamline administrative tasks and enhance the learning experience.

Tackling challenges with platformOS

When they discovered that standard Learning Management Systems (LMS) platforms couldn’t fulfill their vision, HR Jetpack turned to platformOS, leveraging its flexibility and scalability to create a custom solution.

Key challenges included:

• There is a need for automation in tracking attendance and posting event recordings
• Integrating third-party tools like Zoom, Stripe, and Vimeo seamlessly
• Delivering a secure, user-friendly experience for HR professionals

Thanks to platformOS’ embedded support of Liquid Markup and GraphQL (a powerful development combination), HR Jetpack overcame these challenges and built exactly what their clients needed. Problem solved!

Features that stand out

The HR Jetpack LMS now offers:

• Self-paced courses for professionals who need flexibility

Since its launch, HR Jetpack has hosted hundreds of online events, providing essential training to HR professionals across industries. Students have praised the platform for its ease of use and tailored features, emphasizing its value in their professional growth.

Why platformOS?

HR Jetpack’s success demonstrates the power of platformOS in creating highly customized solutions. From the extensive range of features platformOS offers—such as automated DevOps, built-in multi-tenancy, and data sovereignty—HR Jetpack highlighted the aspects that were pivotal to their choice:
