Success Story
How Zenetec Eliminated a $20,000+ Training Bottleneck by Building Custom Training In-House
Zenetec is an Ontario-based collision repair, auto glass, and car wash company that grew from one location to eight in five years, with nearly 150 employees. That rapid growth strained a small HR team trying to keep training consistent, compliant, and current. For years, they relied on a third-party vendor — a slow, expensive process that charged upward of $20,000 to build training from existing SOPs, then billed again for every update. Cost aside, the real problem was losing control over their own institutional knowledge. With EasyLlama, Zenetec got that control, and money, back.

The Challenge
As Zenetec grew from one location to eight in just five years, their HR team needed a more scalable way to train a fast-growing, multi-location workforce. The real issue went beyond content: they needed full ownership of their training program.
Over $20,000 in vendor fees to convert internal documentation into courses- Added costs every time a policy or process changed
- A hard-to-manage LMS that wasn’t built to scale
- Vendor dependency that limited a lean HR team’s independence
- Stale content that employees dreaded engaging with
