Today
Balloon Academy
We turn that experience into structured, interactive learning — for our customers' teams, for new starters in the industry, and for our own people.
What we teach
Built for the people who run warehouses, not just the people who code them.
Warehouse management systems
Körber WMS from the ground up — waving, replenishment, ASN receiving, permissions, RF workflows and the operational decisions behind each one. Written for supervisors and operators as much as administrators.
ERP and finance
SAP Business One and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, from data imports and configuration to the everyday transactions that keep stock, orders and accounts in step.
Logistics fundamentals
Onboarding-ready courses covering logistics types, paper-free warehousing and supply chain essentials — so new team members understand the why before they're handed the how.
Modern skills
AI literacy, security awareness and continuous improvement — the capabilities supply chain teams need next, explained in plain language with practical exercises.
How our courses work
Every module earns its place.
Each course follows a consistent structure designed around how adults actually learn at work: short, focused modules you can complete between tasks, with knowledge applied rather than just absorbed.
Content
Clear explanations with real screenshots from the systems you'll use — not stock imagery or abstract diagrams.
Examples
Scenarios drawn from real operational contexts: a missed wave, a short pick, a month-end that won't reconcile. You'll recognise them.
Exercises
Interactive sequencing and matching activities that ask you to apply a process, not just read about it.
Knowledge checks
Instant-feedback questions with explanations — so a wrong answer teaches you as much as a right one.
Things to think about
Reflective prompts aimed at operational judgement: how would this play out in your warehouse, with your constraints?
You're in good company.
