Swire Coca-Cola VR Safety Training
Background Info
As one of the world’s leading Coca-Cola bottlers, Swire Coca-Cola was searching for a smarter, more effective way to train its warehouse staff. To meet this challenge, they engaged Program-Ace's partner Humulo to deliver the solution. Over the course of a year, their team introduced five hands-on VR modules designed to replace traditional training. The result: faster learning, stronger retention, and a noticeable jump in how confident and engaged employees felt.
Business Challenges
Approach and Solution
The Swire Coca-Cola team needed a training approach that could deliver results without interrupting the pace of warehouse operations. Our partners at Humulo introduced a VR-based model that allows employees to step directly into realistic scenarios and learn by doing.
- Each session was carefully designed to be self-directed. Employees could move through tasks at their speed, revisit key actions, and practice until the process felt second nature. The training happened in controlled, immersive environments that closely mirrored actual working conditions, making every moment relevant and every repetition meaningful.
- To understand the real impact, Swire Coca-Cola ran a 12-month study comparing traditional classroom instruction with VR-based training. Both groups completed the same baseline and certification assessments. The results offered clear, quantifiable insights into knowledge retention, completion time, and overall engagement.
- The new system required no overhaul of internal infrastructure. It integrated cleanly into existing workflows and scaled across teams without added complexity. Employees stayed close to the floor, focused on tasks that mattered while building lasting competencies in less time.
What the company gained was a repeatable, high-impact model for building safety-critical skills at scale without sacrificing productivity or flexibility.

Value Delivered
- Higher retention rates. Employees retained more information and scored higher across all certification modules. The gap between baseline and final assessments was noticeably wider among those who trained in VR.
- Faster training cycles. Sessions took less time to complete, helping teams stay on schedule without pulling resources off the floor longer than needed.
- Improved engagement and confidence. Feedback from staff showed a marked increase in focus and engagement. Employees were more engaged during sessions and reported feeling more confident afterward.
- Seamless scalability. The system worked within existing processes, requiring no structural changes. That made it simple to expand across different roles and locations without slowing anything down.
