Deployed in more than 75 countries, Kahuna helps customers in complex operational environments such as energy, manufacturing, field service, and healthcare understand and validate workforce skills; create targeted training and development programs to close skills gaps; identify and deploy qualified individuals; and align workforce capability with operational processes and business needs.

“This release is a comprehensive reimagination of Kahuna, designed and built to enhance the product’s existing robust functionality and to deliver exceptional value to our users,” said Tom White, VP of Product at Kahuna. “Understanding our customer needs, pain points, and processes in Kahuna were key drivers in our enhancement decisions. We incorporated their feedback and industry best practices to craft a product that is both aesthetically pleasing and technically more capable of scaling with our users and their data.”

The design, anchored in responsiveness, showcases a more contemporary look and feel, ensuring optimal viewability across various screen sizes and device types. To streamline workflows, clicks are minimized so that users can reach key features and functionalities quickly. Additionally, new event-based notifications surface critical updates to ensure all users stay informed and up-to-date. Improved filtering capabilities, hover text, and legends facilitate easier use for those managing operational skills and quicker adoption for new users learning the platform.

With a responsive user experience and faster search capabilities, our customers can access and explore data effortlessly. The redesign also enhances the platform's reliability and scalability, enabling us to meet market demands effectively. Our dedication to customer satisfaction has led to a modular, reliable, and scalable platform that paves the way for future innovations.”

Kahuna’s flagship functionality and features, such as the Team Matrix, Development Plans, and Flexible Assessment Forms, all remain central to the skills management platform but with enhanced usability. “As our customers curate, assign, assess, and develop their workforce skills, it is our priority to simplify these processes,” said Tom White.

“We are inspired every day by our customers and how they’re applying Kahuna to solve their operational skilling needs. They’re streamlining business processes, proving compliance, prioritizing safety, ensuring quality, and controlling operational costs with Kahuna’s validated skills data,” said Jai Shah, Kahuna CEO. “We are dedicated to providing the best tools, functionality, and features for our customers as they solve these business challenges, and Kahuna’s enhancements are a testament to that dedication.
