Altora is designed for organisations that need more than a basic course delivery platform. It combines online course authoring, document collection, eSign documents, custom forms and automated compliance workflows in one induction system.
Unlike platforms that restrict key features to higher plans or charge separately for forms and eSigning, Altora includes its core induction and compliance tools across its pricing plans. Organisations can start from $199 AUD per month, with no per-user or per-induction charges.
Altora’s Induction functionality can be extended with the Contractor Management and Check-in system add-on modules.
Rapid Induct is part of the broader Rapid Global workforce management platform. It is suited to larger organisations that want online inductions to operate alongside wider contractor, compliance and workforce management processes.
Induct for Work is an online induction platform with published pricing starting from $150 AUD per month. It includes course authoring, editable induction samples, self-registration, automated reminders and certificate generation.
Its plans include unlimited inductees, courses and email invitations, although access to some compliance and integration features depends on the selected plan or requires an additional monthly fee.
All three platforms provide the core functionality required to create and deliver online inductions, including course authoring, self-registration, reminders, certificates, branding and refresher scheduling.
