Perfetti van Melle VR training
VR training for Risk Assessment: 360º factory footage, Totara LMS integration, middleware for scoring—global consistency with less travel.
Perfetti van Melle (PvM) is among the largest confectionery manufacturers globally—brands like Mentos, Chupa Chups, Fruittella, and Klene reach 150+ countries.
With BoldlyXR we produced an immersive VR curriculum that blends 360º video with interactive learning, embedded inside PvM’s Totara LMS. Location filming took place at a Shanghai factory to capture authentic shop-floor detail.
Benefits: lower recurring training costs, consistent worldwide delivery, and measurably safer workplaces thanks to better-qualified teams.
Challenge
Training at global scale
17k+ employees across 30+ plants made in-person safety summits expensive despite PvM’s world-class programme.
The brief: make training more cost-effective, consistent, and engaging.
Approach
A virtual plant visit
Research pointed to 360º video for realism inspectors expect—hard to fake with synthetic 3D alone.
BoldlyXR joined on-site in Shanghai to choreograph scenarios with trainers and Jaunt cameras.
Solution
VR experience tied to the LMS
30+ headsets span factories from Mexico to China; learners walk virtual halls with trainers, then enter quiz modes to spot hazards.
Custom middleware syncs identities and scores back into Totara so Risk Assessment managers track compliance centrally.
Initial launch targeted Google Daydream with an eye on future hardware; content ships in English, Mandarin, and Italian.
Outcome
Award-worthy adoption
Teams embraced VR as a more effective path to Risk Assessment mastery—higher pass rates, consistent curriculum, and major savings on flights, hotels, and consultants.
