What Zelo is
Zelo is a platform for building training courses, distributing them, tracking completion, and automating compliance renewals. Courses can be sent through email, SMS, Slack, Teams, WhatsApp, and Workplace. Its AI can turn uploaded source materials into structured courses with pages, blocks, quizzes, and certification. Course validity periods and renewal rules can notify employees and re-enrol them in the latest version. For contractor onboarding, a QR-code scan can create a user, send training by SMS, and track completion without pre-registration. Zelo supports two-way SCORM 1.2, directory sync, SSO, department hierarchies, HRIS API connections, and Excel or CSV imports. It also offers a content library, custom content, automated assignments, certificates, and an audit trail for self-paced learning. Zelo states that it is SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant. Data is stored in Europe; the Suite plan includes a signed DPA, audit logs, and quarterly compliance reports. Pricing is on request, and no free plan is listed.
