Frontline learning

Learning for the shopfloor, the store and the field

Give staff without a work email an account keyed by their employee number and a PIN. They sign in on their own phone or on a shared tablet at the workstation, and their progress, certificates and reports work like any other learner’s.

Three ways frontline staff sign in

The same platform, reached from the phone in their pocket, the tablet on the floor, or the badge on their lanyard.

On their own phone

Each person opens yourworkspace/terminal on their phone, enters their employee number and PIN, and starts learning. No email address, no invitation to chase.

On a shared device

A supervisor turns a tablet or desktop into a shared device in one step. It shows the employee sign-in screen with an on-screen keypad, ready for the next person.

With a QR badge

Print badges from the LMS in standard ID card size. A USB or Bluetooth scanner, the device camera, or a phone camera reads the badge, and the PIN confirms it is really them.

Supervisors run their team from one screen

Adding a person from My team takes a moment. The supervisor gets a temporary PIN shown once and hands it over. At the person’s first sign-in, the temporary PIN is replaced by a private one that only they know.

  • Add people, reset PINs, deactivate and restore
  • Print badges for one person or a whole department
  • Temporary PIN replaced by a private one at first sign-in

Shared device, signs out automatically after a set idle time

Shared devices that keep accounts separate

On a shared tablet or desktop, each person is signed out automatically after a set idle time, with a warning first. The next person never sees someone else’s account. They just see the keypad, ready for them.

  • On-screen keypad on the employee sign-in screen
  • Automatic sign-out after a set idle time, with a warning first
  • One step to turn any tablet or desktop into a shared device

Everything else works the same

A frontline account is a full learner account. Only the way in is different.

Progress and assignments
Assignments, progress and completions work exactly as for any other learner.
Certificates and skills
Frontline learners earn the same certificates and skills as everyone else.
Reports
Their activity shows up in the same reports, side by side with office staff.
In-app notifications
With no email on file, notifications reach them inside the app.
Rate-limited sign-in
Sign-in attempts are rate limited to slow down guessing.
PINs stored hashed
PINs are stored hashed, never in plain text.

Built for manufacturing, retail, hospitality, healthcare and logistics, where most of the workforce never opens a laptop. Frontline learning is an add-on available on every Nialtus plan.

No. Their account is keyed by employee number and a PIN. Notifications reach them in-app.
By default a badge always needs the PIN as well. A workspace can choose otherwise.
After a set idle time the device shows a warning and then signs the person out automatically. The next person starts fresh at the sign-in screen.
Yes. Frontline learning is included on every plan, including Free: employee number and PIN sign-in, shared terminals, and QR badges. Your plan sets how many active people you can have, in any role.
Yes. People with a phone number on their profile and no email address can get due-soon and overdue reminders by WhatsApp or SMS. Messages go through your own WhatsApp Business or SMS account, and your provider bills you for each one.
