ABS Global Uses GeoMaestro LMS to Position Employees for Success

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa, Aug. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- GeoLearning, provider of the leading Software as a Service (SaaS) Learning Management System (LMS) and comprehensive Managed Learning Services, announced today that the world-leading provider of bovine genetics, reproduction services, technologies and care products, ABS Global, has deployed the GeoMaestro™ LMS to assist in employee training and communication.

ABS prides itself on employing quality people who understand the value and need of the services they provide. With dedicated employees fully committed to the customers they are serving, the company sought an LMS that matched this dedication to put employees in the best possible position to be successful. Lacking the full amount of resources necessary to run an existing behind-the-firewall system, ABS began the search that led them to GeoLearning's SaaS solution.

"One of the biggest concerns we hear from our 775 independent reps and employees selling our products out in the field is the lack of information available to them," says Sarah Rech, training specialist for ABS. "In order for them to feel comfortable talking to the customer about the products and services they are selling, we need to be able to get that information to them as fast as we can. The GeoMaestro LMS helps us deliver vital product information to them and put them in the best possible position to be successful."

ABS is using the upgraded system, internally stylized Global University, in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina and Chile with plans to reach more than 33 countries in the long term. Marketing under the ABS (bovine) and PIC (porcine) trademarks, parent company Genus plc is implementing Global University throughout its organization.
