## Reviews

### "Welcomed tool" — 5.0/5

> **Marc** | *7 November 2022* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Most impactful feature is the storage of information about operators skills (evidence, renewal, etc). The software is pretty easy going to use.
> 
> **Cons**: the training feature could be improved, i don't know how though. It just feels like something is missing.

### "Alex : un outil adapté au suivi des compétences en production" — 5.0/5

> **Claire** | *5 March 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ergonomie de l'outil, capacité a montrer une matrice Polyvalence poly-compétences.&#10;L'accompagnement projet et l'expertise sur l'outil a été de grande qualité
> 
> **Cons**: le suivi des tickets est réalisé en anglais
> 
> Le déploiement d'Alex sur l'ensemble de nos unités de productions a été très bien accompagné par l'Editeur ; et ce aussi bien sur la partie conseil, recommandation, transfert de compétences et formation des utilisateurs

-----

### "Un outil de gestion de compétences innovant" — 5.0/5

> **Emmanuel** | *21 October 2024* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Présentation épurée. Management visuel efficace permettant de s'y retrouver facilement dans l'état de polyvalence de nos collaborateurs grace à une évaluation par rôle au sein de l'organisation. Génération et gestion des plans de formations efficaces. Rappels automatiques des compétences à renouveler.
> 
> **Cons**: Codes couleurs de la matrice de polyvalence parfois confuse. Mais cela a été amélioré dernièrement avec l'introduction de plusieurs nouveaux visuels sélectionnables au choix dans les paramètres de l'application.
> 
> Notre expérience quant à l'utilisation d'ALEX est globalement très positive. Les équipes nous ont accompagnées de façon efficace et se sont montrées réactives à nos requêtes. Elles se montrent également à l'écoute de nos suggestions d'amélioration dont plusieurs ont pu être considérées et mises en oeuvre.

### "Alex Yelhow : L'outil de gestion des compétences qui nous accompagne dans notre transformation digitale" — 4.0/5

> **Manon** | *4 March 2025* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: outil intuitif et simple d'utilisation, répond aux objectifs fixés (matrices de polycompétence, planification des formations) etc...
> 
> **Cons**: Bug de l'outil pendant la phase de test, temps de connexion parfois long, chargement des compétences internes dans alex pas toujours fluide
> 
> Nous sommes satisfaits de la mise en place de l'outil Alex au sein de Saint Gobain. Cette interface avait été identifiée comme la plus pertinente pour répondre à nos besoins (avoir un seul et même outil pour gérer la polyvalence et les formations aux postes/ Réglementaires) et s'est confirmée durant les différentes phases de déploiement. L'accompagnement du fournisseur est également un véritable support. Un outil intuitif et performant qu'il faut continuer de faire vivre \!

### "Utilisation chez Daher Marignane périmètre MRO" — 5.0/5

> **Lucie** | *7 December 2022* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Pouvoir définir des durées de validité individuellement sur chaque compétence/formation. Visualisation de la validité des compétences en temps réel et savoir à l'instant T s'il y a des renouvellements à lancer. Partager ces informations avec les responsables de service et les collaborateurs. Définir des objectifs sur le nombre de collaborateurs autonomes et tuteurs avec code couleur. La planification des formations et tutorats, avec validation en masse des preuves. Interface visuelle et rapide à prendre en main. Un réel gain de temps et efficacité vs l'utilisation des fichiers Excel précédemment utilisés. De nouvelles fonctionnalités sont proposées régulièrement. Lorsque nous avons eu besoin de support ou accompagnement, Alex s'est montré présent et réactif.
> 
> **Cons**: Le déploiement peut paraitre long si on ne lui consacre pas le temps nécessaire. Dans l'idéal il faut mettre une ressource dédiée le temps de renseigner les informations, même si les fichiers d'imports Excel font gagner du temps.  La visualisation de l'historique du parcours de tutorat serait un plus.
> 
> Avec l'utilisation de Alex nous avons pu regrouper plusieurs fichiers Excel difficiles à maintenir à jour dans un seul logiciel qui compile et dynamise ces informations. Les données sont toutes numérisées et accessibles à tout moment par tous les interlocuteurs de l'entreprise (du collaborateur au directeur de site). L'interface est agréable et vite adoptée.
