About

Evolving our brand to better serve frontline performance.

For 31 years we were CraneMorley. The work never stopped being about the same thing — getting the people on the frontline ready for the moment that matters. The tools finally caught up, so the name did too.

The rebrand

Why change the name after three decades?

CraneMorley spent 31 years earning 200-plus national awards for one thing: training that holds up when it counts. That track record is the institution. It doesn't go anywhere.

What changed is the hardware. Smart glasses, on-device AI, and VR finally became good enough to put a genuine expert at a worker's shoulder — head up, hands free, at the exact moment of the task. Proformance AI is that same training discipline, now built on the frontier instead of describing it.

The operator side of the story matters too: Our team brings 17 years of hands-on automotive diagnostic work to the table. Institutions plus operators — three decades of training credibility, and people who have actually done the job on the tools.

“As the team puts it: the training was always the engine. AI is the rocket fuel.”
— Thom Pratt, on why now
Approach

Right tool, right job, right moment.

We're not selling a headset or a model. We're selling a frontline performance outcome — and choosing whatever technology actually delivers it.

Right tool

MR, VR, an AI copilot, or plain translation — we pick the one that fits the job, not the one that demos best.

Right job

The frontline moment where getting training wrong actually costs something. That is where we build.

Right moment

Guidance at the point of work, head up and hands free — not a course someone took six months ago.
