2025 in Review: A Year of Building for Scale and Adaptability

Table of Contents

    2025 was a meaningful year for Pixaera — not because of the number of features we released, but because it marked a clear shift in how we’re building the platform.

    Across conversations with HSE teams, trainers, and frontline workers, one message kept coming back: learning needs to be easier to access at the point of work, more adaptive to real conditions, and more useful to the people responsible for day-to-day safety.

    This year, we focused on building the foundations required to move Pixaera toward that future — an AI-first, adaptive learning system designed to scale, reduce friction, and support better decisions where work actually happens.

    classroom-1

    In-person training that works at scale

    Classroom training remains essential, but it often hasn’t felt repeatable or measurable at organisational scale. Sessions were planned across spreadsheets, attendance was manual, and follow-up was often guesswork.

    This year we changed that with Classroom Mode, a structured, trackable way to plan, run, and prove in-person training end to end — the first step toward learning experiences that feel fluid and informative, not fragmented. 

    Session management

    Classroom Mode gives trainers and HSE teams a clear, end-to-end view of their in-person training.

    You can plan and run classroom sessions with a single source of truth. Sessions stay organised across sites, instructors, and dates, even as plans change.

    Participant management

    Most real rooms aren’t just “employees only” — they’re a mix of staff, contractors, and sometimes visitors. Classroom Mode is built for that.

    Trainers can manage large, mixed groups of employees and contractors without rebuilding lists or losing track of where people belong.

    Attendance and knowledge checks

    Once the session starts, Classroom Mode helps you capture what actually happened in the room.

    Attendance is recorded reliably, and post-session surveys measure how well participants understood the topic — giving trainers a clear view of gaps that may need follow-up over time.

    organization-1

    Workforce structure that mirrors reality

    Training scales only if it matches how work actually happens. We rebuilt the organisation layer so Pixaera reflects the real world — handling people across sites, regions, roles, and contractors.

    A structure that matches reality

    Instead of flat user lists, Pixaera reflects how operations actually run — making it easier to target training, understand coverage, and report meaningfully.

    Faster segmentation and bulk actions

    We wanted to make the everyday admin work a lot lighter for HSE managers and training coordinators.

    Teams can quickly find the right people, spot gaps, and make updates at scale — reducing admin effort in contractor-heavy and high-turnover environments.

    Clear worker profiles

    Admins can click into any user and see the key details instantly.

    Each person has a single, clear record showing training activity, assigned modules, certificates, and access — making it easier to take the right next action.

    Pixaera Badge

    On top of that, we introduced the Pixaera Badge to connect that digital record to the physical world. 

    Each user gets a unique badge designed to connect physical safety gear with a worker’s digital identity in Pixaera. Scan a badge to quickly understand who someone is and whether they’re cleared, without digging through systems.

    Targeted learning and certification

    Getting training right isn’t just about delivery — it’s about ensuring the right people complete the right training at the right time.

    Targeted assignment

    We embedded Module assignment directly into the Organization flow.

    Training can be assigned by group, site, or region, with clear validity periods — making it easier to maintain coverage as teams shift.

    Certificates of Completion

    We also introduced Certificates of Training Completion, which you can enable within the flow of module assignment.

    Certificates update automatically as training is completed or expires, giving teams a real-time view of readiness that holds up to audits and site checks.

    Simple onboarding in real working conditions

    We released Access Links so you can let workers self-enroll in Pixaera training — and they’ll automatically land in the right site, group, or region from day one. 

    With Access Links, onboarding new hires or contractors becomes a one-step process — no spreadsheets, no manual setup, no confusion. Just quick, trackable enrolment at scale, all controlled from the Organization tab.

    reports-1

    Signals that matter: deeper reporting

    Knowing who completed training doesn’t tell you much about readiness. In 2025 we evolved Reports so they show where coverage exists, where engagement slows, and where knowledge gaps remain — slicing by region, site, group, or timeframe.  

    Overview

    A quick pulse on training activity, scores, and feedback across the organisation.

    Activity

    Clear visibility into how training is progressing over time and where engagement is stalling.

    Performance

    Insight into knowledge gaps, failure trends, and intervention behaviour — helping teams focus effort where it will reduce real-world risk.

    Filters that matter

    Slice insights by region, site, group, training type, or timeframe to support targeted follow-up instead of generic reporting.

    Trainee experience

    Designed for the people doing the work

    All the structure in the world doesn’t help if people on the ground find training confusing or hard to access. This year, we focused on making Pixaera feel simpler and more intuitive for workers themselves — whether they’re on a laptop or a phone.

    A clear training path for each worker

    We upgraded the user dashboard so workers land in a space that makes sense to them.

    Workers can see what’s required, what’s in progress, and what’s complete — reducing confusion and follow-up questions.

    For HSE and training teams, that means fewer “where do I find…?” questions and more ownership from workers over their own training.

    Friction-light mobile experience

    A big part of your workforce isn’t sitting behind a desk — they’re on site, on the move, or between tasks. We’ve been tightening the mobile experience so training feels natural there, too.

    In December, we introduced Portrait Mode — a mobile-first training experience designed for how people actually hold their phones, lowering the barrier to completion in the field.

    Scenarios

    Learning experiences that feel real

    At the heart of Pixaera is still the same idea:

    give frontline workers realistic practice on SIF-critical scenarios that drive real behavioral change, not just awareness.

    In 2025, we kept pushing that idea forward:

    • Adding new high-risk modules around fire, explosion and live electrical work;
    • Making countless improvements to existing scenarios, mirroring the reality the frontline teams face daily;
    • Expanding localisations across the library, so mixed crews and contractors can train in a language they actually think in.

    The aim is simple: close the gap between “they’ve done the training” and “they’re ready for the real job” — wherever they work, and whichever language they speak.

    2026

    What we’re building next: 2026 and beyond

    In 2026, we’ll build on this year’s foundations to move Pixaera closer to an AI-first, adaptive learning system that supports people at the point of work — and delivers real operational value for supervisors and frontline leaders.

    Frontline AI-first tools with real operational value

    Practical experiences that help leaders run safer operations day-to-day, including more measurable facilitated training via Live Participation and outcome-based classroom reporting.

    Readiness signals you can act on

    A stronger AI-first data foundation paired with deeper performance insights tied to organisational trends — helping teams spot patterns across sites, roles, and topics and take targeted action.

    Faster, more scalable content workflows

    Faster ways to build and maintain learning at scale — including uploading your own video content with completion tracking, alongside continued progress toward more automated authoring workflows.

    Point-of-work access

    Less friction to roll out training and support in real working conditions — smoother mobile access, better low-bandwidth performance, and dynamic onboarding via Access Links to reduce admin.

    Better decisions under pressure (Human Performance built in)

    Deeper investment in Human Performance Principles and a structured Safety Leadership journey, strengthening judgement and decision-making where conditions are messy and pressure is real.
