Nissan Academy AMIO, based in Dubai – United Arab Emirates, needed a cost-effective way to view training data from multiple regions in a single, detailed dashboard and to engage employees on satisfaction, wellbeing and other critical insights.
Their existing process relied on a laborious monthly Excel spreadsheet that was slow, error-prone and only delivered results once a month. This delayed visibility created operational blind spots: managers could not see individual, regional or role-based training progress in real time, allowing inefficiencies to accumulate and value to leak unnoticed.
They required clear, easily understood dashboard reporting, a system that was simple to manage yet flexible enough to adapt as needs changed.
Ramy Aboelmagd – Nissan AMIO Training Academy DGM and Bernice Kriel – Learner Management System Administrator AMIO Training Academy led the project.
Ramy and Bernice sought a cloud-based provider with a flexible, cost-effective platform that could deliver seamless training reporting and employee engagement.
After a public tender, Rison Software’s VirtlX Engagement Platform was selected.
Richard Chalk, Rison Software Founder and Managing Director, comments:“The VirtlX platform perfectly matched Ramy and Bernice’s requirements. We customised the dashboard so their data appeared in an easy-to-understand format with the ability to drill down for deeper insights in near real-time.
All other VirtlX services remained fully available, giving the Nissan Academy team a powerful single platform both to view training data and to engage employees.
Our onboard communicator also enables rapid sending of emails, WhatsApp or text messages to large employee groups, linking engagement surveys directly to each recipient’s profile so sentiment can be understood across every region.”
With the customised VirtlX dashboard, Nissan Academy managers can now view real-time training results, including progressive monthly certifications, KPI insights and individual employee training progress. These views immediately surface where progress is lagging, where targets are at risk, and where inefficiencies are quietly leaking value.
Managers now sign into their permission-based VirtlX profile and see training data relevant to their business units updated daily and presented in clear reports—replacing the previous once-a-month Excel collation and manual report-building process.
Daily visibility lets the team steer training progress by region and dealership, close gaps faster, and keep objectives on track. Inefficiencies that previously remained hidden are now visible and actionable, stopping value leakage before it compounds.

“Using VirtlX, Nissan Academy gained the insights into employee training, engagement and feedback we needed. It revealed inefficiencies in our training landscape that were leaking value, enabling us to make data-driven decisions that closed those gaps.”
Bernice Kriel
“VirtlX has been a really useful platform in saving us time and effort, presenting us with up-to-date training results every day and removing the need to manually create the reports we previously could only share once a month. The VirtlX team have been a great help and have been quick to implement features that were specific to our requirements as the project evolved.”
