“With Uplimit, you can actually be an L&D team of one and show learning ROI for the first time.”

— Rebecca Scales, Director of Capability Development, Procore

The challenge: A small but mighty L&D team scaling a 1,300+ product and technology org

Procore, a global leader in construction management software, has always been at the forefront of innovation. But when more than 1,300 employees in its product & technology group needed upskilling, the L&D team was just getting off the ground.

At the time, Rebecca Scales was leading the charge as a team of one, tasked with delivering high-impact learning at scale with limited resources.

She faced a tough challenge: deliver meaningful learning to a fast-growing org without an army of L&D staff or outdated content.

Before Uplimit, training was a bottleneck:

Course development took 6–9 months – by launch, content was often outdated.

Manual processes drained time – scriptwriting, SME coordination, and course building was a slow-moving challenge.

No clear way to measure skill growth – engagement was unclear, and proving ROI felt impossible.

 

Rebecca needed a faster, smarter way to create courses, keep up with evolving org needs, and show real learning outcomes without overloading her team.

The solution: AI-powered L&D that moves at Procore speed

Procore partnered with Uplimit to flip the script on traditional L&D. Instead of slow, resource-heavy course development, Uplimit’s AI-powered authoring and automation put Rebecca back in control, eliminating the grunt work so she could focus on strategy, impact, and engagement.

"I used to spend half a year building one course. Now it’s all outlined, drafted, and ready for review in 15 minutes. That alone frees up four to five months of work."

— Rebecca Scales, Director of Capability Development, Procore

How Procore transformed L&D with Uplimit

 

95% faster course development – from months to hours

Building a course used to take six to nine months. Now, with Uplimit, the entire process is transformed. In just minutes, a structured course outline and first draft are automatically generated, cutting out weeks of manual effort. From there, the L&D team can refine and finalize a course in just 3-5 hours—freeing up months of work.

Instead of wrangling endless SME meetings, Rebecca empowered a team of employees to become course creators—something that wasn’t possible before. With Uplimit, they didn’t just participate in training; they led it. And courses were up and running faster than ever.

No scripting, no slowdowns – just fast, high-quality courses ready to launch. That’s real efficiency.

 

From a handful of courses to 17 in one year

With AI handling the heavy lifting like scheduling, nudging, and learner tracking, Rebecca’s lean L&D team scaled a full-fledged tech academy, launching 17 courses in a single year.

No more waiting months for a course that’s outdated by launch. Uplimit keeps learning fresh and relevant.

 

Measuring real skill growth for the first time

Before Uplimit, tracking learning impact at Procore was a challenge. Now, they don’t just measure progress, they prove it. Using Procore’s own skills framework, which breaks competencies into four levels (Beginning, Approaching, Proficient, and Advanced), learners start by self-evaluating their skill level when they enroll in a course. From there, Uplimit powers AI-driven hands-on learning through real-world projects, interactive roleplays, and personalized exercises, helping employees build practical expertise.

At the end of the course, learners submit projects that serve as proof of their proficiency, which instructors then assess against Procore’s skills framework to validate real skill development.

But measurement isn’t just about tracking—it’s about impact. Instead of passively consuming content, employees across Procore’s product & technology group used AI-driven roleplays to practice real-world scenarios in a risk-free environment.

"Learners raved about it. They were shocked at how real the conversations felt and how much they learned just by practicing. Honestly, I was impressed by how clearly they articulated the concepts.

 

With AI-driven roleplays, I could see their understanding in the way they repeated and applied what was taught—and I’ve taught this content over 50 times."

— Rebecca Scales, Director of Capability Development, Procore

With AI roleplays, learners didn’t just absorb information, they applied it immediately. They practiced conversations, tackled challenges in real time, and built confidence in a controlled, safe setting.

The results speak for themselves. 

"Before Uplimit, it was nearly impossible to gauge what people actually learned. Now we can measure skill jumps of two or three levels in just one course – and learners are loving AI-driven instruction."

— Rebecca Scales, Director of Capability Development, Procore

This impact is reflected in Procore’s engagement data, with “Learn and Grow” survey scores rising 10% year over year, outpacing industry benchmarks by 15%.

The impact: A lean L&D team driving business-wide change
