Is Thrive the right customer training platform for you?
A strong fit if
- You train partners, franchisees, resellers or customers, not just employees
- Each audience needs its own branded space and content
- You need reporting by partner, region or account
- You want internal and external training run from one account
Probably not the right fit if
- You only train your own employees. Our employee training page fits better
- You need a public course marketplace to sell training online

Your extended enterprise LMS questions, answered
What is extended enterprise?
Extended enterprise refers to the network of external audiences connected to your organisation, including franchise partners, dealers, suppliers, contractors and resellers. Extended enterprise training ensures these external groups receive the same knowledge, standards and development as your internal teams.
What is an extended enterprise LMS?
An extended enterprise LMS is a learning management system designed to deliver training to external audiences like franchises, partners and dealers. Unlike a standard LMS built for internal employees, an extended enterprise LMS like Thrive supports multi-tenancy, branded portals, audience-specific access controls and centralised reporting across your entire partner network.
What is the best extended enterprise LMS?
The best extended enterprise LMS platforms combine multi-tenancy, branded portals, access controls and centralised analytics in one system. Thrive is rated highly on G2 and Capterra and is used by organisations like Vodafone, Burger King and Krispy Kreme to train franchise and partner networks at scale. Every feature is included as standard with no add ons.
What extended enterprise LMS features does Thrive include?
Thrive's extended enterprise LMS includes multi-tenancy, branded partner portals, role and location-based access controls, centralised reporting dashboards, pathways, campaigns, AI-powered search with Kiki and mobile access. You can manage multiple brands and audiences from one platform while maintaining full control.
Can an extended enterprise LMS support multiple brands?
Yes. Thrive's extended enterprise platform supports multi-tenancy, so you can create separate branded environments for each franchise group, region or partner network. Each tenant gets its own branded portal, content library and reporting while you maintain central oversight and governance across the entire network.
What is the best LMS for customer training?
The best LMS for customer training gives each customer group its own branded space, controls exactly what they can see and reports on progress by account. Thrive's multi-tenancy, white-label portals and permissions make it a strong customer training LMS, run from the same account as your employee and partner training.
How do you keep partner training separate from employee training?
Thrive uses multi-tenancy and permissions to keep audiences apart. Each partner, franchise or customer group gets its own space with its own content, users and reporting, and permissions control exactly what each group can see, while you manage everything centrally from one account.
