ScanSource uses Synthesia AI video to cut training development from weeks to days and save thousands in productivity costs

The problem

ScanSource's small sales enablement team was spending 40 hours a month on course development using text or voice-over PowerPoints, making it difficult to meet high training demands, and updating voice-over content required additional time and resources causing significant delays.
