AG5 review
A full competency operations platform for frontline and regulated organizations.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
AG5 is a competency management platform for frontline-heavy organizations in manufacturing, aerospace, pharma, logistics, food and beverage, and related regulated industries. It connects employee competencies and qualifications with roles, machines, shifts, and licenses, then supports assessments, evidence collection, gap detection, training planning, and development tracking. Its web, iOS, and Android availability suits supervisors and frontline workers who need competency information and result entry across operational settings.
The platform’s main strength is the breadth of its competency workflow. Skills matrix views cover employees, competencies, roles, shifts, and certifications, while structured assessments can include manager observation, practical tests, and third-party certification. AG5 also tracks certificate and license expiries, supports approval workflows, records attachments and electronic signatures, and produces audit trails and ISO-ready reports. Organizations managing regulated qualifications may value the connection between gap analytics, training plans, and audit reporting. Enterprise adds compliance and FDA features, advanced analytics, global and local skills libraries, and master data management.
AG5 offers Core, Accelerate, and Enterprise plans, with plan-specific pricing requiring a demo. Core includes skills matrix functions, the AG5 Skills App, 100+ HRIS integrations, 30+ languages, and tailored onboarding. Accelerate adds workflows, automations, custom fields, advanced permissions, a public API, and Single Sign-On. Enterprise includes the Accelerate features plus 24-hour support and its advanced compliance capabilities. Integrations span HRIS systems, LMS and e-learning platforms, SAP, Moodle, and Cornerstone. AG5 is a strong fit for organizations needing coordinated competency operations; teams seeking a narrow skills matrix or publicly posted plan amounts may prefer a simpler option.
