- Integrating training programs with existing technologies and systems used by various franchise locations
- Ensuring consistent training quality and adherence to brand standards across multiple locations
- Needing continuous onboarding and training efforts due to high employee turnover
- Keeping training content engaging and relevant to motivate franchisees and their employees to prioritize and complete training programs
- Regularly updating training programs to ensure compliance with various local, state, and federal regulations

- Managing compliance tracking and reporting
- Supporting an ecommerce site to manage pricing, discounts, and subscription plans

Unlock AI-enabled training excellence for franchises
Fully support your training needs with a comprehensive solution that includes everything from onboarding to AI-enabled course creation, AI-driven skills management, compliance, content integration, and much more.
The CYPHER LMS is the only platform with Gen AI-enabled skills management. CYPHER AI 360 bundle accelerates the creation of skills-based, gamified courses, with assessments in minutes, enabling personalized learning at scale. Safely upload resources like Word docs, videos, and PDFs to create customized courses. To enhance AI-generated content credibility, AI Crosscheck leverages another powerful general AI to thoroughly review and flag inconsistencies in the generated output.
CYPHER maintains a detailed skills inventory created in collaboration with industry partners to ensure relevance. Customers can also upload their own competency sets or create new ones using CYPHER AI 360. Courses are automatically aligned with these skills, helping learners understand the skills they will develop and their proficiency. This approach helps address high employee turnover by aligning training with learner's specific needs and aspirations, thereby enhancing engagement and retention.
CYPHER maps content and assessments to specific job functions and required skills, enhancing workforce engagement, accountability, and adherence to policies and procedures. CYPHER's automated analytics enable franchisors to track learner progress, identify compliance knowledge gaps, and flag improvement opportunities. Franchisors can assign mandatory courses, set compliance periods, and automate renewal reminders, ensuring employees stay current with essential training.
Franchisors often need to tailor different sections of the same training for various franchisees based on specific business rules. CYPHER allows administrators to create "child" courses from a "parent" course. Each child course can be customized independently, and any updates made to the parent course can be propagated to the child courses, ensuring accurate and current content is consistently delivered across all franchises.
With CYPHER AI 360, it is easy to modify course materials, add new information (including new images and videos), and make adjustments to ensure that the content remains current and relevant. This is a key feature for franchise organizations that typically have a rich archive of existing content.
Franchisors can access industry-specific, ready-made content through third-party providers like Coursera, Go1, Mind Tools, OpenSesame, and Udemy. The platform also seamlessly integrates with courses directly from any of the content partners like edX or LinkedIn Learning.
