12:00-12:30 PM - Axonify Demo - Beyond the LMS: Smarter Training for the Deskless Workforce
Learning tech failed the frontline. The LMS wasn’t built for retail stores, hotels, or restaurants—where the work happens on the floor.

Let’s move beyond the LMS and unlock the potential of the deskless workforce.

Uncover why legacy learning tools don’t fit the deskless workforce.
