“Starting a journey, you think you know what you need, but along the way, you always need to adjust your route. That’s possible with Moodle and Lesterhuis.” – Bart Cieremans, Product Trainer and Training Specialist, Mitsubishi Logisnext Europe
For Mitsubishi Logisnext Europe, a global leader in material handling solutions based in the Netherlands, know-how isn’t just a priority—it’s their legacy. Founded in 1937, the company has led the design and manufacturing of reliability forklifts and logistics solutions. Mitsubishi Logisnext Europe boasts a team of over 2,210 employees and a wider learner network of more than 4,000 students. The company thrives on the collective knowledge and expertise of its workforce and partners, which include sales representatives, engineers, office staff, factory teams, and a vast network of dealers.
However, as the organisation kept growing, so did the complexity of its training and knowledge-sharing needs.
Mitsubishi Logisnext Europe faced a challenge: How can they share knowledge across multiple departments in various languages while managing distinct brand identities?
And how did they do it? Let’s find out!
The challenge
Operating across diverse departments and regions, Mitsubishi Logisnext Europe needed a learning management system (LMS) that could tackle two major hurdles:
- Knowledge distribution across languages and brands: With employees and partners spanning multiple countries, multilingual training was a non-negotiable. Likewise, the company’s diverse portfolio required brand-specific content access to ensure the right learners received the right materials.
- Tailoring the learning experience for unique needs: Mitsubishi Logisnext Europe EU operates under various brand names and needed a solution to deliver targeted learning materials. This included controlling access to brand-specific resources while customising content for different roles such as Sales, Technical, HR, IT, Legal, and Compliance. By aligning materials with both brand and role-specific needs, the company ensured a more focused and effective learning experience.
The solution
Mitsubishi Logisnext Europe already knew they needed flexibility, scalability, and a partner who could bring their vision to life. After evaluating multiple platforms, the choice was clear: it had to be Moodle LMS.
Why Moodle?
- Unparalleled flexibility: Moodle’s open-source nature allowed Mitsubishi Logisnext Europe to tailor the LMS to meet its exact needs, from custom plugins to new functionality development.
- Community-driven ethos: Choosing Moodle meant becoming part of a global community committed to continuous improvement and innovation.
- Shared purpose: For Mitsubishi Logisnext Europe, Moodle was more than just software; it represented being part of something bigger.
Having the right platform was just one part of the puzzle. They needed someone who understood the platform and could support them personally, like a team.
Lesterhuis Training & Consultancy (LTNC) comes into the picture
