Optima Hotels and Resorts

Optima Hotels and Resorts is a national network of hotels in Ukraine. It consists of 40 business hotels and 3-4 star resorts in Ukraine and abroad, as well as 40 restaurants. The company was founded in 2003.

The Optima Hotels and Resorts has been working with the LMS Collaborator platform for over 2 years. Before the implementation of LMS, we monitored and tested more than one platform at that time. LMS Collaborator allowed us to solve the problem of quick and easy delivery of information to collaborators of all divisions, regardless of their location. We even use them simply as a way to communicate some of the news or the open position for an internal search in the network. On our recommendation, several other companies have also started to use LMS Collaborator. I recommend it!

About the company

The history of the Optima Hotels and Resorts began in Ukraine in 2003, when a group of Belgian architects led by Francois Reikartz renovated an old mansion in the center of Lviv on Drukarsky Street. The partners decided that Ukraine practically does not have any European level 3 or 4 stars hotels and an ambitious project of creating a network of Ukrainian hotels under the Reikartz Hotels & Resorts (Optima Hotels and Resorts after rebranding ) brand was born.

Currently, nine hotel chains in Ukraine are united under Optima Hotels and Resorts brand: Reikartz Hotels, VITAPARK, Optima Hotel, RAZIOTEL and Reikartz Collection Hotel. The Reikartz Hotel Group includes 40 hotels in Ukraine and abroad.

With LMS Collaborator, we were able to automate annual performance reviews and create an effective hybrid training program for over 500 sales managers.
The system significantly reduced the time needed to prepare and conduct appraisals, and improved the quality of onboarding for new employees. Our mentors note that employees come to work with a clear knowledge base

During our collaboration with LMS Collaborator, we managed to automate onboarding, give all employees permanent access to the Knowledge Base, and implement various formats of asynchronous learning: from videos and longreads to training sessions and webinars. We also set up LMS integration with a Telegram bot to streamline communication between the office and store employees and quickly inform the team about task assignments and company events. LMS Collaborator has an intuitive interface, supports various resource formats, and allows a single administrator to manage the entire system

Maryna N

Head of the COLLAR training section

Our company started working with LMS Collaborator in July 2022. It is not our first platform for posting learning information and organizing employee training. So we have something to compare with. I really like the fast work of the technical support: LMS Collaborator employees are always flexible with ideas for changes to the portal, as well as with the terms of cooperation.

We are impressed with the functionality. Our training section uses surveys, training programs, courses based on educational video content, and, of course, tests.

It is very convenient and quick to create any material, from a gallery, text material to videos and links. It is also convenient to analyze the content and user activity, which is very important for planning the next training programs.

Currently, the learning portal has more than 100 users, and the system works stably and without lags.

We are very pleased with the platform and are planning a long-term cooperation!

“The best choice for corporate learning”

Overall: We are consulting in the field of corporate learning. And I chose LMS Collaborator as an online platform for organizing and automation the learning process for partner enterprises.

Pros: It has all you need and some options others don’t have, for example:
– non-linear trajectories with conditional transitions
– flexible skill assessment module
– offline event registration,
– like individual practical exercises
– high degree automatically set up assignments based on the company’s organizational structure, city, position, or any other labels you create
– flexible reporting system
It`s combined with ease of setup and administration+ overfunctions: if you have a not big company, then you can not use some other systems, because there is functionality of an information portal, HRM elements and a task manager+ very good support

Cons: no mobile app. It lacks the ability to work offline (only if some content is made available for download)

Reasons for Choosing LMS Collaborator: Most of the popular services are more like ELS – e-Learning systems, among witch there are good solutions for remote work with content, organization of paid online schools, but there is not enough functionality for corporate training: advanced automation, organizational structure, assessment, offline events, corporate information portal.

Hr manager at Yunik Trade

Multifunctional high quality LMS

Overall: I like to create large education programs, expand online library, and publish company news for users.We use this LMS every day!

Pros: You can upload different types of information. The system has usable program and course constructor, tests, automation settings.

Cons: It’s not possible to set different deadlines for different users in training programs and tests.

Artem V

T&D Manager at BeautyProf

Working with LMS Collaborator is very convenient.

The company has been working with this platform for more than a year, and during all this time, no problematic situations have arisen.
The multifunctionality and ease of use of this portal are impressive.
The support team always responds quickly to questions and provides immediate feedback.

Among the wishes – I would like to be able to upload videos larger than 800 MB, and presentations larger than 200 MB to maintain the quality of the content.

In general, it’s a very pleasant cooperation at reasonable prices.

Dmytro K.

Head of the Training and Development Department at Union Group

I have been working with the Collaborator distance learning system for about 3 years. Previously I implemented this platform at another place of work. So as soon as they decided to change the learning platform in the Union Group company I was offered to consider LMS Collaborator and after several preliminary meetings we decided to implement this system.

The following criteria were important to us in selecting an LMS:

The developer company must be Ukrainian
User-friendly interface
Access to the learning platform from any device, be it a smartphone or laptop
Cloud data storage solution that does not involve the expenses for additional server hardware
Monthly payment for the use of services

The platform meets all of the above criteria.

We deployed the system for our company quickly enough, within 1-2 weeks we set up an access page for our users, and thanks to the convenient data exchange between the Collaborator and our HR accounting program. Thanks to the flexible settings every day there is an exchange of data between the databases, allowing both to add new users and block access for employees who have ceased to work in our company. I would also like to highlight the useful and convenient functionality in the form of “Automation Rules”, which allowed us to configure automatic assignment of training programs and certifications to employees who came to work in our Company.

After creating a user base, we began filling the system with learning material. Again, simplicity in use and uploading is a great advantage. It is possible to upload files of any format and type by restricting access to certain documents to different categories of employees, if necessary. Easy navigation due to self-created sections in the Document Library, as well as what attracted our Sales Support Department – the ability to search for documents posted on the platform, not only by title, but also by keywords in the content, which greatly simplifies the work of our front office.

Speaking of more advanced learning materials, the system supports the most common type of e-courses, SCORM, which allows us to easily upload the already developed base of e-courses to the new system.

Today we have about 800 users who regularly take courses in the system. The load per employee is 2-3 e-courses per month. With a high level of activity in the early hours after the appointment of courses, servers cope and OS from employees on the inability to pass training / slowness of the system when passing the tests, which we have encountered on other platforms is absent, so the server can withstand the load.

Future plans involve the inclusion of office personnel in the learning process through the LMS, as well as the start of work on the evaluation procedures.

Margarita N.

Head of Learning and Training hub - Viseven

Our team had a good experience with Collaborator over the past two years.

The support agents are exceptional, providing quick and responsive help whenever we need it.
One of the things we loved about Collaborator is the variety of quiz types it offers.

The Collaborator team has also been fantastic in developing new features for us, demonstrating their commitment to continuously improving the UX.
Overall, we recommend Collaborator as an LMS to keep learners engaged and excited to learn.

We have been working with LMS Collaborator for about 5 years. The system is very flexible for the company, the support always meets our needs and does everything to make the platform exactly as we see it for the convenience of our employees.

LMS Collaborator strives to support customers in difficult times and considers individual payment types, which is very important for Ukrainian businesses. I am very satisfied with our collaboration

Dmytrо K.

Regional business trainer

We have been using LMS Collaborator for about 9 months (may 2020). During this period, thanks to the specialists of the developer company, we managed to make significant changes and adjustments to the needs of our business. Today our company has about 6000 users who regularly use the system for their own training and development. The user-friendly interface of the system makes it easy to understand all the subtleties and find the necessary information. Thanks to the mobile version of the site, employees can take assigned courses and programs on their way to and from work.
Every month, we prescribe at least 4 training courses for more than 4500 employees and even during peak hours the system has no problems with processing such a big amount of data.
We would like to make a special mention of the Support Service for prompt response to incoming questions and their readiness to help in the realization of individual needs of users.

I’ve been working with the LMS Collaborator for three years now.

We use LMS in Promodo company for personnel onboarding, personnel evaluation and, of course, we actively use the system for training our employees.
From time to time we have requests for improvement of the system, and the technical support is quick to respond and make the necessary changes for our work. Many thanks to them for this!

Olga P

Administrator of educational platform

With the help of LMS Collaborator, we managed to launch e-learning in the company in the shortest possible time. The portal has become indispensable for the daily activities of employees – all necessary knowledge is available online, operational support of requests and working communication is carried out.

Customer service team works at a level that exceeds expectations – I always get professional advice on emerging issues and the development of new corporate programs, my wishes for the development of functionality are included in the plan for the subsequent development of the system.

Dmitry K

Manager of technical training systems

Our standards provide high requirements for the level of expert knowledge of employees because incompetence not only does not help to promote the brand but also, in most cases, undermines the company’s development. The LMS Collaborator is the best solution for all of our organizational needs and methods of learning and motivation, integration with other reporting systems in the company.

Moreover, the cooperation with Collaborator`s team has exceeded our expectations – with their help we managed to organize a flexible system of hierarchy and access levels, which made it possible to economically and efficiently scale solution within the framework of other countries in the presence of GROUPE ATLANTIC.

Denys K

Head of Organization Development Department

This is an excellent platform for training and testing of employees. A very user-friendly interface and a reporting system for any analytics. Literally, every action of an employee can be monitored in online mode. More than six months passed since we implemented this product in our company. During this time we managed to implement automated training programs for trainees, conducted 3 attestations of all sales personnel and, of course, employees obtain new knowledge every week through the LMS.

As the head of e-learning, I am happy that Yuria-Pharm Corporation has found an ideal tool for increasing the effectiveness of corporate training. LMS Collaborator is a fast, flexible, convenient technology that helps to respond to rapidly changing needs and tasks of the corporation.

Irina K

Human resources director PJSC "DATAGROUP"

In my practice, I have already worked with distance learning systems. Collaborator is the third in a row and the most successful of them. The system has convenient basic functionality, excellent features. Along with the flexible approach of the system creators in the implementation of individual requests and solution of learning tasks, they desire to help and be involved in the realization of client’s ideas plays an important role.

LMS Collaborator is very easy to learn and allows you to implement the most incredible ideas. For example, now we combine in-person and distance assignments, train groups and work individually, build training programs, implement a training centre and established an informing system on what is happening in the company in terms of training and development of personnel.

Irina M.

Head of the training department

Reikartz Hotel Group has been working with the Collaborator platform for more than 2 years. Prior to the implementation of the VOS, we monitored and tested more than one of the existing platforms at the time. Collaborator helped to solve the issue of fast and convenient delivery of information to employees of all departments, regardless of location. We even sometimes use it simply as a way to report some news or about an open vacancy for internal search on the web. On our recommendation, several other companies have also started using Collaborator services. I recommend!

Maria K.

Head of Training and Development Department

Thanks to LMS Collaborator we train beginners, provide different levels of access to materials for all regions of the company. It is thanks to the changes in the interface (which became pleasant and clear) and functionality (it is nice that many of our wishes and suggestions have been taken into account and implemented) that have taken place during our cooperation, I can say that the platform is evolving and improving. In addition, the quality of technical support is constantly improving and becoming faster and more enjoyable.

Natalia M.

Head of Development and Training Department

We have been using the Collaborator system for a year to solve educational problems in the company. We have employed almost all the tools presented in this LMS. I especially like the wide opportunities for the formation of training programs, which we use both for blended learning and for automation of adaptation processes. It is nice that this product does not stand still, but is constantly evolving, adapting to customer needs.
