How we help energy companies

Pipeline operators, utilities and the contractors who work for them come to us for the work below. You can start with one, and the training works in the systems you already use.

Every employee and contractor trained, and on record

A challenge you may be facing: A national energy regulator expects pipeline companies to prove every employee, contractor and subcontractor is trained for the job, and says contractor oversight failures have contributed to fatalities.
How we can help: Training for employees and contractors alike, with each person's qualifications tracked by job and expiry date and reported from one system.

Stay compliant and audit-ready

Specialists' know-how written into your procedures

A challenge you may be facing: In recent emergency management audits, an energy regulator found companies relying too much on individual expertise that wasn't written into their processes.
How we can help: Your specialists' know-how, captured in recorded interviews, becomes reviewed material your procedures and training can draw on, and JoySuite answers your crews from it with the source shown.

Capture expertise and put answers in reach

New hires with the experience the work needs

A challenge you may be facing: Across US transmission, distribution and storage, employers name a lack of experience, training or technical skills as the most common reason hiring is hard.
How we can help: Onboarding built from your procedures and your crews' know-how, with each new hire's training on record from the first day.

FAQ

Can contractors train in the same system as our employees?

Yes. In SmarterU, a contractor company can have its own branded sub-account with its own login page, and you report on employees and contractors from one system.

What can we show the regulator?

Each person's training record from SmarterU: completions, quiz results, attendance and qualification dates, plus the audit log. Reports export to CSV or go by email on a schedule, and every certificate carries a QR code anyone can scan to validate it.

Will we know before a qualification expires?

Yes. SmarterU tracks each qualification to its expiry date and re-enrolls people before it lapses, with reminders that can escalate to their supervisor.

How much of our specialists' time does it take?

About 60 to 90 minutes per recorded session, and your expert doesn't need to prepare anything. We handle everything after the session.

Who owns what you capture?

You do. The recordings, transcripts and recommendations are yours, with no licensing conditions.

Do we have to replace the LMS we already use?

No. We deliver custom courses into the LMS you use, as SCORM, xAPI or cmi5, and you keep the source files. OttoLearn works on its own, alongside your LMS. JoySuite, which answers your crews' questions, also works alongside your LMS or on its own.

What does it cost?

Custom courses are quoted per engagement. SmarterU plans start at $3,000 USD per year, quoted for your organization, with learners counted as the users who log in each month.
