What is a skills matrix?

A skills matrix is a grid of people against skills, with a rating in each cell showing how capable each person is. It answers three questions every manager is asked sooner or later: who can do this, who is about to stop being able to do it, and where are we thin? (More on what a skills matrix is, with examples.)

Most organisations start with a spreadsheet. It works until there are a few dozen people, several teams and certificates with expiry dates. Then the file goes stale, versions multiply, and nobody trusts the numbers enough to act on them.

What SkillsLedger does differently

People rate themselves

Everyone keeps their own profile current, so the matrix doesn't depend on one person updating a file.

Managers sign it off

Line managers review and guarantee their team's ratings, so the matrix reflects reality rather than optimism.

Skill groups per team

Engineering, Sales, Compliance: each group has its own skills and is judged on what that team needs.

Certificates that warn you

Expiry dates on certifications, with warnings weeks ahead instead of surprises on audit day.

Objectives and gaps

Set a target such as five people at Practitioner level by June and watch progress update live.

Reports in one click

ISO-aligned competency reports for a team or a person, exported to PDF, plus an org-wide view of weakest and strongest skills.

Common questions

What is skills matrix software?

It's a tool that records who has which skills, at what level, and keeps that record current. Unlike a spreadsheet, people update their own ratings, managers sign them off, and reports and alerts are produced automatically.

How much does SkillsLedger cost?

£10 per seat, per year, with every feature included. There's a free 30-day trial with no card required.

Can we use our own skills and rating levels?

Yes. You define skill groups, categories and skills, and each group is rated against what that team actually needs. You can also start from the built-in Skills Library.

Does it work with Microsoft 365?

Yes. Connect Microsoft Entra ID and your team signs in with their work accounts; names, departments and managers sync from your directory. Local accounts with two-factor authentication are available too.

Is our data kept separate from other customers?

Yes. Every SkillsLedger customer gets their own private database and application instance. Nothing is shared between companies.
