what it is used for

assessment & development centers are majorly used for corporate hiring and learning & development to assess candidate's competency through series of exercises.

but there are big problems with our process

  • Time-Consuming & Manual Setup
    Configuring ADCs often takes days due to complex workflows.

  • Inefficient Communication
    Coordinating between assessors, candidates, and administrators is cumbersome.

  • Lack of Customization
    Existing solutions don’t allow flexible assessment workflows tailored to different organizations.

  • Difficult Report Generation
    Compiling assessment results into structured reports takes significant effort.

SmartADC solves these problems by offering an intuitive, end-to-end digital ADC platform that reduces setup time by 90% while improving assessment accuracy and usability for all stakeholders.
