Intertek buys US PlayerLync for undisclosed sum

(Sharecast News) - Intertek said it had bought US based PlayerLync Holdings for an undisclosed sum. PlayerLync provides an app-based service for companies that combines mobile learning, operational support and compliance, content management and people engagement, Intertek said on Thursday.

It hopes to capitalise on the post-Covid pandemic trend of working from home.

PlayerLync's platform combines mobile learning, operational support and compliance, content management, and communications in a single app used predominantly by customers in the food retail, restaurant and hospitality sectors in North America.

"With approximately 2.7 billion people, or 80% of the global workforce operating in deskless roles today, the demand for bespoke people assurance solutions and mobile-based learning delivered at the point of need continues to grow, driven by increasing regulation and heightened end-customer expectations," Intertek said.
