We cover a bunch of exciting features released during the year, and setup for a brilliant 2025.

As we reflect on 2024, we are full of gratitude and excitement for the extraordinary achievements made possible, thanks in part to you. This past year marked a pivotal shift for SkillsDB—a year where we reimagined the very essence of what’s achievable for skills-based organizations and charted our course for the future.

After 16 years of growth, listening to customer and user feedback, and thorough exploration into the evolving dynamics of our industry, we embarked on a ground-up redesign of our SaaS platform. With 18 months of unwavering dedication, we delivered a completely rebuilt, cutting-edge platform, engineered to empower skills-driven organizations to build winning teams.

Here are some of the key advancements that made 2024 truly exceptional:

Launched a revolutionary, ground-up redesigned and rebuilt platform, leveraging a state-of-the-art modern tech stack
Introduced entirely new analytics, charts, and graphs, empowering L&D teams to gain profound insights across the organization and pinpoint training vulnerabilities
Implemented smarter, more intuitive mechanics for organizing skills into advanced job roles and competency groups, enhanced employee skills summary pages, and upgraded grading workflows with manager-definable benchmarks
Developed enhanced, powerful tools to seamlessly align customer job frameworks and competency-based career ladders, supporting a structured competency based training program that drives organizational growth
Created upskilling pages, dedicated to each skill for centralizing critical learning resources and relevant connected content, fostering a culture of continuous improvement
Rolled out a new, streamlined skills survey workflow for regular employee self-assessments and manager evaluations
Overhauled email notifications across nearly all functionality, providing timely reminders for completion, expiration, and other crucial actions like closing out regular assessments
Deployed a new method to seamlessly connect internal subject matter experts and mentors to specific skills, enabling easy discovery through robust search
Unveiled an entirely new, highly efficient workflow for certifications, complete with proactive expiration notifications
Delivered a flexible, new skills matrix for job roles and competency groups, alongside a comprehensive training matrix, clearly showcasing when employees are trained on specific skills.
Implemented a system-wide search that enables instant access to all data, including experts, mentors, skill grades, roles/groups, certifications, geography/division/shift, and more

Every feature was meticulously crafted and designed with one singular goal in mind: to empower you in building winning teams.

As we look at the 2025 roadmap, our commitment to delivering rapid innovation and sustained improvement remains unwavering. This quarter, we’ll be unveiling a completely reimagined, purpose-built marketing website that embodies an even sharper vision for SkillsDB and showcases our strengthened dedication to our customers’ success.
