TrainingPros seeks scale, agility amid double-digit growth 

Founded in 1997, TrainingPros is a specialized staffing
agency focused on meeting client needs for learning and development. The Atlanta-based company provides companies nationwide with contractors skilled in areas such as instructional design, training coordination, technical communications, and copywriting to help clients effectively train internal staff. Fortune 1000 businesses such as The Home Depot, The Kraft Heinz Company, and Newell Rubbermaid rely on TrainingPros to boost learning and development, and ultimately business performance. 

As TrainingPros grew — its revenue more than doubled between 2012-19 — so did its need for robust financial management that could handle increasing complexity and deliver needed visibility. A desktop QuickBooks system allowed just two concurrent users, while TrainingPros tried to manage complex commissions for its sales staff in a “monster” spreadsheet prone to broken formulas. “We had a hodgepodge of products that was very clunky and cumbersome, with no realtime sharing of valuable data at all,” said CFO Jill Vogin, who joined TrainingPros in 2012. “It was a patchwork of systems that, if something went down, was a maintenance nightmare,” Jill said.
