Case study
UDEA: an education platform serving thousands of students
Client under NDA
Product screenshots coming soon — the numbers are already live.
Challenge
The provider was managing enrollment, attendance, and payments manually across tools that did not talk to each other. Staff time went into reconciliation instead of teaching, and management had no reliable numbers on active students or receivables.
Solution
We built a single platform where students enroll, follow their courses, and see their progress, while staff manage groups, attendance, and tuition from an admin panel. The build was sequenced so the enrollment module went live first and started paying for itself while course delivery features followed in weekly sprints.
Architecture
We show real architecture. Agencies never do.
A Next.js application backed by a NestJS API and PostgreSQL via Prisma. Student-facing pages are server-rendered and cached for fast loads on mid-range phones, which is what most students use. The admin side shares the same typed API contracts, so every feature ships with both the student view and the staff view from one schema.
Results
- Enrollment, progress, and payments visible in one place for the first time
- Staff reconciliation work reduced to reviewing exceptions rather than entering data
- Students check schedules and progress from their phones instead of calling the office
- The platform became the provider's system of record within one term
