Say goodbye to Excel matrices

With AG5, we’ve eliminated Excel-based chaos. The real-time skills matrix gives us instant visibility into team capabilities, helping us identify bottlenecks, plan more efficiently, and ensure compliance across operations. It’s become a powerful tool for business continuity—saving hours in planning and enabling us to make faster, better decisions on the production floor.

AG5’s intuitive design and flexible features give us a well-structured overview of skills across the organization. The skills matrix provides clear visibility into competencies and gaps, helping us make more informed decisions around compliance and training needs. It’s become a key part of how we plan long-term development and respond quickly to emerging skill demands.

AG5 simplifies how we manage competencies across the organization by centralizing updates and documentation in one place. It’s especially helpful during audits, where evidence is easy to access and always up to date. Built-in alerts for training expirations help us stay ahead, and the platform continues to evolve with regular improvements. While the initial setup took time, the ongoing benefits in efficiency and clarity make AG5 a valuable part of our training and compliance process.

AG5 makes it easy to track training completions, manage required certifications, and ensure audit readiness across the organization. The platform is intuitive for both managers and supervisors, giving them visibility into team skills and empowering them to plan development paths with confidence. Unlike spreadsheets, AG5 keeps everything organized in one place, sends reminders for expiring training, and simplifies onboarding for new hires. It’s reliable, user-friendly, and backed by an excellent support team that made setup smooth from day one.

AG5 makes it easy for team leads to track and update skills with a clear, visual matrix. The system integrates well with our HIS, giving us a reliable way to monitor compliance and training needs. It helps us prepare operators with the right qualifications, stay audit-ready, and plan ahead for future training so we’re always staffed with the right skills at the right time.

AG5 really helped us get a clearer overall picture of the skill progress and gaps throughout our teams. Keeping track of minimum training requirements per job role or teams is easily manageable. By using the attachments tool per skill result we also ensure that evidence is uploaded for closed loop / compliance purposes. Changes within the system are easily implemented by the AG5 Support team if you aren’t able to make the changes yourself. It helped solve a lot of manual work in adding and maintaining skills and new/leaving personnel and variances in results in comparison with Excel.

AG5 supports CEVA to have excellent training management for all employees. The software is easy to implement, easy to use and supports the line manager to act proactively on training that expire soon. The customer onboarding and support are driven by very professional employees. In the Benelux we are working with 8.000 employees for CEVA. We have an internal standard to train all operational employees on every core process for our customer. Therefore, we need to have direct insight in the training status of all employees.

AG5 significantly simplifies the visualization and management of our workforce’s skills, particularly critical safety skills. For instance, when I enter the workshop and see an employee operating a forklift, I can instantly verify if their license and authorisation are current and know when they will expire. This capability is great for demonstrating to IATF and ISO 45001 auditors how effectively we manage competencies. AG5 excelled in transforming our unstructured, outdated Excel skills matrices into a well-organized, structured format. The setup process is very smooth, with AG5’s team integrating our data in less than a week.

Perfect blend of functionality (build out of skills and data entry) and usability (display of data for management and end users), which AG5 continuously improves. For years we struggled to build/find/implement a skills management solution that is readily adopted and has staying power – AG5 is becoming that solution. We are even expanding to other company businesses, and hope to make it a truly worldwide solution that benefits the entire company.
