Skills Base

Skills Base provides workforce capability and skills management software that converts employee skills, qualifications and supporting evidence into structured capability data used for planning, resource allocation, training and workforce readiness decisions. The platform is organized around a set of core functions: building a centralized skills taxonomy intended to scale and evolve; mapping relationships among skills, roles, teams and office locations; assessing skills using a defined measurement methodology; reporting through real-time skills matrices and skill-gap analyses; developing people via training and career pathways linked to identified gaps; and finding individuals who match specified criteria for work assignments.

The product is positioned as an alternative to spreadsheet-based skills tracking and is API-first, so that skills data can be connected to adjacent systems including HRIS, LMS, CRM, project management and business intelligence tools. Security and data-handling features described include audited security processes, a data processing addendum, user-level view/read/write controls via configurable security groups, and a choice of regional hosting in the USA, Australia or Europe (Germany). The company also publishes a whitepaper describing "The Skills Base Methodology," framed as a framework for skills-based organizations and teams.

Business model

Skills Base sells access to its skills management platform to organizations, with a free entry tier ("Start with Free") alongside paid usage; prospective customers are directed to scheduled demos and consultations with company experts. A service-level agreement and data processing addendum are referenced for customers.
