Beyond Retro scales retail operations training to 140 employees across 14 stores with Synthesia
Due to COVID-related store closures and layoffs, Beyond Retro needed to rapidly up-skill remaining salespeople to cover 80% of store management responsibilities, but relying on individual store managers would create inconsistencies, and traditional video production was too costly and inflexible for a 2-person L&D team working across multiple markets.

Outcome
Ashley's 2-person team released a full training course every 2 weeks, centrally up-skilled 140 employees across 14 stores, and quickly rolled out training across additional markets.
What failed first
Traditional video production required flying to multiple locations at prohibitive cost and, once created, videos were nearly impossible to update without significant additional time and resources.
