How the LMS software matching works
Step 1: MatchAssistant*

* This is where we are at the moment
Step 2: LMS Research
Your matching request is matched via an algorithm in our database, and suitable providers are invited to a matching.
Step 3: LMS Matching
The curated offers end up in your matchboard, and you select the providers that suit you for further screening.
LMS software: providers, market overview and comparison
Are you looking for a Learning Management System that suits you? Then you’re not alone, because since the pandemic-driven home office revolution, virtually all companies have been restructuring their e-learning platforms.
The LMS market and the number of players were already immense before COVID, but due to new needs, many start-ups identified certain topics/niches that were not yet covered by existing LMS providers. By now, there are over 1,000 (in words: a thousand!) software providers for learning management systems worldwide.
To put this shock (#1000) into perspective right away for your LMS selection: Most are not GDPR-compliant and therefore should not be relevant for your company. There are also a few criteria that, based on your individual requirements, quickly separate the wheat from the chaff.
With Matchilla’s LMS software matching, we provide you with a novel screening method. With the matching, we don’t just filter out the right software providers based on your criteria. We also directly check availability, references, and motivation to work with you. It doesn’t get more convenient or more effective than that.
What areas of application are there for an LMS?
The 1,000 providers have probably stuck in your memory for the long term. This number is made up, among other things, of the many possible use cases. Learning via a central platform is possible in the following areas:
LMS for specific professional development (e.g., ISO standards, training the field sales team, instructions)
LMS for safety training (e.g., fire protection, occupational safety)
LMS for mandatory training (e.g., hygiene training in hospitals)
LMS as an onboarding tool for new team members
LMS for apprentice training (e.g., maintained by training managers)
… and many more
It’s best to start right away with the MatchASSISTANT for LMS. Here, you provide us with the first information for a preselection in order to receive initial results/offers in your Matchboard. Depending on how extensive the requirements catalog already is, we can optionally send you the Deep Dive LMS questionnaire. The selection can become very complex, and we want to make it convenient and precise for you at the same time.
Which criteria are decisive when selecting LMS software?
The Matchilla team regularly screens the e-learning market and derives the most important criteria from it that should be discussed and defined before making a selection. A selection of questions you should ask yourselves:
Why are we looking for an LMS at all, or why do we want to switch our current LMS?
For which area, for which fields of work do we need an LMS?
What goals do we want to achieve together with the LMS provider? What challenges should the LMS solve?
What criteria do we want to use to decide: Is it about pure performance, the location, or should it fit as well as possible on a “human level”?
Which departments need to be involved in the selection process?
Which reference customers does the LMS provider have? Do they come from our industry?
For which languages/regions do we need the LMS?
When do we want to start the collaboration?
How much budget do we have available?
Of course, this questionnaire is not exhaustive, but serves as an initial overview. We provide you, as registered Matchilla users, with further specific questions about features for quality management, HR, HSE & Co. after the first match request.
Matchilla has one of the largest databases of LMS platforms operating in the German-speaking market. With us, no LMS provider can buy their way into your Matchboard through listing or sponsorship fees. In the Matchboard, you will see at least three top matches, selected neutrally and precisely according to your needs.
How do I find the right LMS software for us?
As described above, in a first step you conveniently use Matchilla’s LMS MatchASSISTANT, which is freely available on this page. Based on your information, we make a preselection and present you with at least three relevant LMS matches without obligation. For the perfect match, we refine the initial information from the MatchASSISTANT together with you and optionally support you in the further selection process.
Give it a try—we’re looking forward to matching together! #LetsMatch
