Use casesNew-hire onboarding
Let new hires practise the job before they do it for real
The first months are when people learn the most and break the most. Give them those situations in a simulated company first, where a wrong call is a lesson instead of a cost.

A first week, for example
Day one: walk the plant in 3D and meet the teams. Day two: read the operating report and spot the overloaded cell. Day three: handle a supplier delay with a customer waiting. By Friday the new planner has made the classic mistakes in practice, where they cost nothing.
How it works
Every exercise follows the same rhythm as the real job: a problem arrives, you investigate, you act, and the simulated company responds.
- 01
Pick a path
Choose exercises for the role: planner, technician, engineer, analyst.
- 02
New hires practise
They start with a worked example, then try with hints, then work alone.
- 03
Managers see progress
Skill scores and recorded attempts show who is ready and who needs a hand.
- 04
Add your own procedures
Turn your written procedures into new exercises as you go.
What you practise
Concrete tasks taken from the exercises on this page. Each one is done with real data, under real constraints, inside the same simulated company.
- T01
Find their way around
Learn the site, the teams and the systems before they have to use them under pressure.
- T02
The common situations
Late suppliers, broken machines, outages and urgent customer orders.
- T03
The procedures that matter
Safety steps, handovers and escalations, practised until they are habits.
- T04
Working with others
Asking the right colleague and writing clear updates.
What your organisation gets
Evidence, not attendance.
- 01
Ready sooner
People arrive at real work having already practised it.
- 02
Fewer expensive first mistakes
The classic errors happen in practice, not on the line or in production.
- 03
Consistent training
Every new hire gets the same situations, whoever their mentor is.
The tools you work with
Working tools, not screenshots. They read the same live data as the rest of the simulated company, and what you change in one shows up in the others.
- 01
Incident console
The live state of services and hosts during an outage, with the runbook actions.
- 02
Feature flags
The switches a service reads, and which one is breaking it.
- 03
Work orders
Work orders, repair history, spare parts and who is assigned to what.
- 04
Machine data
Vibration, temperature, cycle time and throughput per work centre, over time.
- 05
13-week cash forecast
Where cash dips below the minimum, and what the lender's covenant test will say.
- 06
Deadlines and service
Count business days and limitation periods from the right date, diarise them, serve notices.

What every attempt leaves behind
Judge the work, not a quiz score. Every attempt is recorded as it happens, so you can see how someone worked, not only where they ended up.
Every action, in order
What was checked, who was asked, what was changed and when. Nothing is overwritten.
Scores by skill
Each exercise scores the skills it was built to test, from what was actually done.
Weak habits, flagged
Poor patterns in how the work was done are flagged, not only wrong final answers.
A replay of the attempt
Step through the session as it happened, with typed personal details masked.
