LOCI

What LOCI does

LOCI (operating as Learn by LOCI) is a Vancouver-based software company founded in 2018 by Samantha Mathews that delivers a QR code-based safety training platform designed to convert physical workplaces into trackable learning environments. Its core product, the LOCI Platform, combines a no-code course creator (LOCI QUESTS) with pre-built compliance programs for fire safety, fire warden, first aid, emergency action planning, and safety day engagement. Drills are deployed as physical QR decals placed around a facility; trainees scan the codes with any phone browser to complete multilingual, location-aware e-learning modules. The training methodology is grounded in the Method of Loci, applying spatial-memory neuroscience to bind safety information to specific physical locations.

The platform's technical architecture is browser-native (no app install), supports multilingual delivery without translation setup, and publishes drills as SCORM-compliant files for ingestion into enterprise Learning Management Systems. A MyLOCI dashboard provides real-time, time- and location-stamped completion records used for compliance audits. The product is supported by integrations with LMS, SMS/email alert systems, and access control systems for emergency preparedness workflows.

LOCI monetizes through a per-location subscription priced at $99/month for the first location and $49/month for each additional location, inclusive of real-time tracking, SCORM exports, and the full safety drill library. The go-to-market blends a self-serve product-led motion (admin.learnbyloci.com sign-up) with enterprise field sales targeting large facilities in healthcare, energy, logistics, manufacturing, and marine transport. Named enterprise deployments include Seaspan (marine transport, 4D driver orientation via digital twin), Pacific Pile & Marine (marine construction), and BC Lions (community safety program reaching 200,000+ families). Content marketing via the LOCI blog and organic social channels supports top-of-funnel demand generation, supplemented by a Training Impact Test assessment for mid-funnel lead capture.
