Amazing

We have been on the look out for a while for a new LMS system. After going through over 20 vendors we come across Acorn during a conference we were attending. Andrew has been working with us every step of the way and is very knowledgeable of all things about Acorn. He was very patient as we navigated which route we wanted to take and we had a ton of questions. His response time was phenomenal and his rugby skills were put to the test! Acorn really stood out from the crowd as being a performance based LMS, which was a big positive to our organization. Andrew was amazing and we look forward to working with the team as we continue forward.

Acorn PLMS is a game changer

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Acorn has been an absolute game changer for our company. Our previous LMS was missing many modern features, but Acorn has exceeded expectations—especially with the ability to fully personalize the homepage to reflect our company branding. We love how customizable it is, from the types of reports we can pull to the workflows and the ease of creating the catalog. The biggest highlight, though, has been the outstanding customer support from Stan and Jenny. They were incredibly responsive, quick to provide solutions, and shared guides that were actually useful. Their support made the transition smooth and stress-free. We’re excited about our partnership with Acorn and can’t wait to see the continued impact it will have on our team’s learning and development.

Incredible Experience with Acorn

This PLMS is an all generation friendly LMS. We opted for the Performance package, and have automated our forms and evaluations. Finally found a way to get supervisors and staff aligned and accountable for their evaluation due dates. The format is easy to brand and easy for staff to learn right away. Our employee usage at 7 months into Acorn is up by 87%! The back end had a few tricks to learn, but the Acorn staff was literally holding my hand the whole time through implementation and in making sure I and my team knew how to use the features. The Acorn Academy training was perfect for review when I forgot something, and videos of trainings were sent out so we could use as a refresher as some sections you only update occasionally. But the support is something I need to talk about - hands down, the BEST group I have ever worked with period. Issues are handled immediately, and it's all hands on deck when something comes up as an issue. They have had a blazing fast turnaround on support tickets, and my support rep, Jenny has been an incredible resource as well as a kind and patient human being. I have interacted with multiple Acorn staff, and all I can say is what a wonderful group of people - all wanting to help and doing their best to ensure the customer had what they needed. We had two popular LMS for years, and we sometimes waited weeks for any kind of support response. My issues are usually fixed the day I email. I love the fact they have continual updates, and patch notes are put out every two weeks with new features. This system has more features for half the price of most of the giants out there. Huge recommendation for organizations looking to expand their learning and automate forms!

What is Acorn?

Acorn is the skills and development platform that closes the gap between what your people need to be able to do, what they can do today, and what is working to close it. Every role gets a standard, drawn from a framework of thousands of capabilities and proficiency levels. Your people capture the work they do against that standard, and the assessment is the checkpoint where a manager confirms what that work demonstrates. Development plans turn the gaps into action, and learning builds the skill. What a company holds is workforce evidence: proof of what its people can achieve, drawn from the work itself. Every AI suggestion is grounded in the organization's own configured framework, and a named person signs off before it reaches an employee. Assessment results are evidence for a conversation, never an automated decision about anyone's career. Acorn serves customers across HR, Talent Management, and L&D teams globally.
