Credly is a digital credential management platform used by organizations (certification bodies, training providers, employers, and educational institutions) to issue, manage, and verify digital credentials—primarily digital badges and certifications that recipients can store in a profile and share publicly (for example, on professional networks). The product emphasizes a networked credential ecosystem (discoverability, verification, portability) rather than purely white-labeled certificate issuance.
