After switching from its legacy LMS to TalentLMS, Trans Ash’s 2-person training team uses AI and automation to support nearly 1,000 employees.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TalentLMS, a leading employee training platform, today shared how civil construction company Trans Ash modernized its approach to training for nearly 1,000 employees after switching from its legacy learning management system. Following a 6-month evaluation of more than 300 LMS platforms, Trans Ash selected TalentLMS to reduce administrative work, simplify training for field and office employees, and give its lean training team more capacity to focus on learning.
The Trans Ash video story published today shows that before making the switch, they faced a challenge familiar to growing organizations: its training needs were expanding faster than the resources available to manage them. Its previous LMS was difficult to navigate, offered limited reporting and course creation capabilities, and generated a growing volume of support requests. After moving to TalentLMS, Trans Ash rebuilt its training library and redesigned its New Hire Orientation while migrating years of historical training records.
Today, a 2-person training team manages learning for nearly 1,000 employees across multiple states. TalentLMS automations standardize enrollment and required training, while Mass Actions enable the team to assign courses to entire crews or the company at once. Custom reports provide accurate completion, compliance, and audit records in minutes instead of days, helping Trans Ash demonstrate proof of training when supporting internal and client audits.
“Time. The platform gives me back time every single day. Time that used to go to support calls and manual reporting now goes into building better trainings. That’s how two people support a workforce of nearly one thousand,” said Sierra Sanders, Training and Development Manager at Trans Ash highlighting the training efficiency they have achieved with TalentLMS.
With its administrative workload reduced, Trans Ash’s training team is also using TalentLMS’s AI-powered capabilities to accelerate course development. With the TalentCraft AI course creator, its training team can move from an idea to an interactive course in a fraction of the time, while AI writing tools help streamline tasks such as creating course descriptions. Combined with the ability to build courses using documents, videos, website links and other media, these tools have enabled Trans Ash to move away from the restrictive course-authoring process of its previous LMS.
“For growing businesses, the real promise of AI isn’t cutting costs or simply doing more with technology. AI expands the sphere of what’s possible, freeing people’s brainpower to solve problems and, just as importantly, identify the problems worth solving,” said Dimitris Tsingos, CEO of TalentLMS. “Trans Ash shows what that can look like in L&D: a lean team spending less time on administration and more time building training that supports its people and the business.”
The benefits extend beyond training efficiency. Training reinforcement throughout the year with weekly instructor-led lessons on TalentLMS have contributed to an Experience Modification Rate (EMR) of 0.42, reflecting a strong safety record for its industry. Over the past year, Trans Ash has also seen employee retention rise by more than 40%, alongside broader improvements to onboarding and management and a more modern, engaging training experience.
