Background

Founded in 2014, the client is an educational organization that helps students start their careers in IT.

By 2019, it was growing exponentially, opening new schools and adding courses, and its basic LMS, used only to store materials and select students, could no longer keep up.

Project Recap

  • The client’s basic LMS couldn’t support its rapid growth, and it needed a CRM to manage sales.

  • Beetroot built a new LMS on a microservice architecture with GraphQL and Prisma, plus a web editor and CRM.

  • The organization now teaches 1,000+ students a year, and the LMS is also offered as a white-label solution.

Challenge

The client’s previous LMS only let teachers store learning materials and select students for future courses. As the organization opened new schools and courses, the system could no longer handle its workflows, and sales management needed a CRM.

The client faced several challenges:

  • A basic LMS that couldn’t support rapid growth
  • No CRM to manage sales
  • The need to scale to new cities and countries

Facing a similar challenge? We're ready to help!

Solution: Microservice-Based LMS, CRM, and Web Editor

Beetroot designed a brand-new architecture using GraphQL and Prisma, creating a powerful system of microservices that can connect to any API.

  • Scalable LMS Architecture

    Microservices and API-ready design let the platform grow with the organization and integrate with other cloud technologies.

  • Built-In CRM and Web Editor

    Alongside the LMS, the team developed a CRM for sales and a landing page and web editor.

  • Learner-Friendly Features

    An intuitive, responsive interface with quizzes, groups, modules, and GDPR compliance makes learning comfortable and effective.

Working with Beetroot is always a pleasure. We basically came in with the idea of how we wanted our product to work and they helped us carry it out – from distilling our ideas to creating the actual features. Communication has been tremendous.
