Background
Founded in 2013, Admentum is a digital platform for school administration that aims to eliminate paperwork and support teachers with clear assessments and visualizations of the student learning process.
The company also developed a health platform that helps schools monitor students’ mental health more efficiently.
Project Recap
-
After two unsuccessful cooperations with offshore teams, Admentum needed a reliable partner to extend its in-house development capacity.
-
A dedicated team of two back-end developers, recruited through a fast, transparent process and quickly onboarded into a complex tech stack.
-
Admentum grew from 2,500 to 10,000 students and is now aiming for 22,000, with plans to hire more developers through Beetroot.
Challenge
Admentum had previously worked with two offshore teams, but neither cooperation met its expectations in communication or quality of work. Even after hiring two in-house programmers, the company still needed external help to keep pace with its roadmap.
Admentum faced several challenges:
- Poor communication and results from previous offshore partners
- Not enough in-house capacity to support a growing number of students
- A complex architecture built on an extensive technology stack

Solution: Dedicated Back-end Team for Two EdTech Platforms
On a recommendation, Admentum turned to Beetroot to build a dedicated team. Two Beetroot developers now work on the back end of both the student administration and student health platforms.
-
Fast, Transparent Recruitment
Beetroot’s HR team selected candidates with the right skills and English level, arranged interviews quickly, and adapted promptly to changing requirements.
-
Quick Onboarding into a Complex Stack
Despite Admentum’s complex architecture and extensive technology stack, the developers got up to speed quickly and started contributing early.
-
Back-end Development for Two Platforms
The team develops the back end of both the student administration and student health platforms, giving Admentum capacity to take on new projects.
Beetroot was very good at presenting the candidates and having an honest discussion afterward. In our previous cooperation with offshore teams, we had certain miscommunication problems. But, with Beetroot, we built transparent dialogue and received answers to all our questions.
Results
Admentum measures success by the number of students using its platform. With Beetroot’s team on board, the company accelerated development while taking on new projects and customers.
-
“We appreciated Beetroot’s commitment to social responsibility and their internal culture. Transparency in payments and smooth, honest dialogue made us feel very secure about our decision to build a team in Ukraine.”

4x more students on the platform
Between 2017 and 2019, the number of students using Admentum grew from 2,500 to 10,000.

On track for 22,000 students
Admentum expects to keep growing and could reach 22,000 students in the near future.

Faster product development
The Beetroot team helped Admentum speed up development while taking on new projects and customers.

A growing partnership
Admentum plans to recruit three more developers with Beetroot to keep pace with its development roadmap.

– Sara Corneliusson, COO at Admentum
