TALENTUS
: Five Education Brands Transformed into a Learning Ecosystem
TALENTUS GmbH faced the complex task of unifying five highly specialized educational brands under a single technological umbrella. The requirement was clear: While administration is highly centralized behind the scenes, each brand presents itself as a standalone digital learning environment with tailored events, certificates, and a personalized customer experience.
Initial Situation
Five educational brands under one tech umbrella
TALENTUS’s reorientation into a digital learning ecosystem comprising five independent educational brands—the ASI Academy for Safety, the FFB Forum for Works Councils, the FFD Forum for Data Protection, the Forum for Executives, and TQM Training & Consulting—was shaped by five core requirements:
1
Digital Transformation
as a Strategic Foundation
With approximately 15,000 participants annually, highly efficient digital management is essential for profitable growth and excellent customer service. To handle this volume scalably across five brands, all processes had to be digitized and manual administrative tasks reduced to a minimum.
2
Scalability in
a complex brand structure
The main challenge lay in TALENTUS’s complex brand structure. To serve five different target groups on a single platform, it was necessary to technologically map the technical requirements, event formats, and certification processes of each brand while consistently preserving each brand’s unique identity in the user experience.
3
Automated administration thanks to ERP integration with
Manually managing thousands of participants each year across five brands had reached its capacity limits. There was no seamless connection between the ERP system and the learning platform. To eliminate these system disconnects and automate data exchange, it was necessary to establish the technological foundation for a scalable business model that did not require additional manual effort.
4
Intuitive User Experience
in the “Netflix style”
The primary goal was to create a modern, cross-brand learning environment with a “Netflix-like” user experience that intuitively guides participants through their learning paths and fully automates all administrative tasks thanks to a powerful ZOHO One interface.
5
Data-Driven
Customer Retention
With a large number of returning customers, it is critical to the business to offer participants the right follow-up courses at the right time. The goal was to strengthen participant loyalty through tailored recommendations and increase customer lifetime value over the long term.
"Mapping the complexity of five brands with completely different requirements onto a single platform was an enormous challenge. MaxBrain not only provided us with the technological solution, but also automated our entire administration process through the ZOHO interfaces. With GROW logic, we’re also taking our customer loyalty to a whole new level."

Five brand worlds
in a single ecosystem
An innovative “Netflix-style world” featuring five distinct brand worlds was created for TALENTUS. Based on a central backend, each brand operates within its own training environment, offering customized learning paths, brand-specific certificates, and events.
ERP Integration: ZOHO One
Scalability for
tens of thousands of learners
A powerful interface with ZOHO One fully automates the synchronization of course registrations, participant data, and certification processes. This end-to-end automation enables the highly efficient management of approximately 15,000 learners annually without requiring any additional manual effort.
MaxBrain GROW
Intelligent Recommendation Logic

TALENTUS uses MaxBrain GROW, a specialized module that combines the functions of an LMS with those of a marketing and e-commerce platform. The integrated logic generates personalized recommendations. This feature is crucial for building long-term loyalty among participants to the various brands through targeted engagement and for sustainably increasing customer lifetime value.
