eCom gives organisations real-time control of training spend
eCom Learning Solutions has unveiled a powerful new feature that allows organisations to track training licences in real time, helping them protect budgets and eliminate waste.
The tool provides instant visibility into how many licences are active at any given moment, so teams can ensure every investment is being used to its full potential rather than lost on unused seats.
This innovation couldn’t come at a better time. UK organisations are facing mounting financial pressures - from inflation, to rising National Insurance contributions and increased wage costs. Despite these challenges, employers, membership bodies, and charities are still under pressure to deliver high-quality training due to skills shortages impacting growth for their staff, partners, volunteers, and wider communities.

With eCom’s new licence tracking, they can do both: control costs while ensuring learners have access to the training they need. By showing exactly how many licences are being used, the tool helps organisations cut overspend on unused seats, plan provision more effectively, and make sure every pound of the training budget delivers value.
The feature was co-created with one of eCom’s clients, who needed clearer visibility of licence usage across a large learner base. By responding quickly and working in close partnership, eCom was able to deliver a solution now available to all LMS users - illustrating how its co-creation model is helping to deliver innovation for the wider market.
Wendy Edie, CEO of eCom Learning Solutions, said:
“At eCom, co-creation has always been at the heart of how we do things, and this feature is a direct result of listening to our clients and working side by side with them to develop solutions that make a tangible difference.”
This development also reflects a broader shift: organisations expect real-time data in every area of operations - from financial reporting to supply chain tracking - and are now demanding the same clarity when delivering training. With cost pressures intensifying, real-time insight is becoming essential. Tools like this help organisations avoid waste, invest efficiently, and extend the impact of their training without overstretching resources.
