Thought Industries doesn’t want to deliver a bad product for the sake of keeping a customer. That showed a commitment to their platform and customers that others don’t seem to have.”

THE CHALLENGE

IA MED needed a scalable solution to manage and deliver their medical training – virtually and in-person.

THE SOLUTION

With Thought Industries, IA MED broke the barrier with a unified system to create, manage, sell, and analyze their entire medical training ecosystem.

The Challenge

IA MED was using Shopify to sell their medical training services. This limited them in design, flexibility, and recording registrants. Overall the solution did not fit their long-term business ambitions. They needed a platform that was integrated with leading commerce functionality, certification management, content authoring, and was highly customizable.

The Solution

IA MED found success through Thought Industries by leveraging core features to maximize their results.

  • The highly customizable nature of the site enabled IA MED to build courses around their conferences and events to extend training beyond in-person.
  • IA MED required a system with robust certification and accreditation capabilities, which is part of the back-bone of Thought Industries. Through the certification engine, IA MED was able to issue certified accreditations to medical professionals.
  • IA MED found the personal relationship the Thought Industries leadership and product teams build with their clients greatly differentiates them from the competition. With the ‘Voice of the Customer’ program, IA MED engages with the Product team to provide feedback and gain insight into how they can maximize the benefits of the platforms existing features.
