Objective
The objective of this project was to develop a custom CRM system for an Ed-tech company that would help them manage their student and teacher data, track progress and performance, and improve communication and collaboration between staff and students. This would ultimately help the company to better understand the needs of their students and teachers, identify areas where additional support is needed, and make data-driven decisions about how to improve the student experience.
Solution
In order to achieve the project objective, we used Laravel for the backend development, React.js for the frontend development, MySQL for the database, and Flutter for the mobile app development. Laravel is a PHP framework that is well-suited for building custom CRM systems. It has a simple syntax and is easy to learn, making it a good choice for developing a custom CRM system. React.js is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces. It is a very popular library and has a large community of developers who contribute to its development. MySQL is a popular relational database management system that is widely used for web development. It is a reliable and robust database system that is easy to use and manage. Flutter is a mobile app development framework that allows for the creation of high-performing, cross-platform apps. It is a relatively new framework but has quickly gained popularity among developers because of its ease of use and performance.
Features of the CRM System:
- Student and teacher management: The CRM system allows the Ed-tech company to manage student and teacher data, including contact information, enrollment, and performance data. This information is stored in a centralized database and is easily accessible to staff members. The system also allows staff members to add, edit, and delete student and teacher information as needed. This helps the company to keep track of student progress and performance, and to better understand the needs of their students and teachers.
- Progress tracking: The system includes a progress tracking feature that allows staff to track the progress of students and teachers. Staff members can view data such as attendance, grades, and assignments in one centralized location. This helps the company to identify areas where additional support is needed, and to make data-driven decisions about how to improve the student experience. The system also includes a feature that allows staff members to set goals for students and track their progress towards those goals. This helps to keep students on track and ensure that they are making progress towards their goals.
- Communication and collaboration: The system includes a communication and collaboration feature that allows staff to easily communicate and collaborate with students and teachers. Staff members can send messages, share files, and schedule meetings with students and teachers. This helps the company to improve communication and collaboration between staff and students, which can lead to better student outcomes.
- Reporting and Analytics: The system includes a Reporting and Analytics feature that allows staff to generate reports on student and teacher performance, progress, attendance and more. This helps the company to identify patterns, trends and make data-driven decisions to improve the student experience.
- Integration with other tools: The system is integrated with other tools such as Google Classroom, Zoom, and Slack, which allows the company to easily manage and track the progress of students and teachers. Staff members can access information from these tools within the CRM system, which helps to streamline the management and tracking process.
Features of the Mobile App:
- Personalized dashboard: The mobile app includes a personalized dashboard for each student and teacher, which allows them to easily view and track their progress, assignments, and other relevant information.
- Push notifications: The mobile app includes push notifications that remind students and teachers of upcoming assignments, events, and deadlines. This helps to increase student engagement and ensure that they are aware of important dates.
- Real-time progress tracking: The mobile app includes a real-time progress tracking feature that allows students to view their progress in real-time, including grades, assignments, and attendance. This helps them to stay on track and make progress towards their goals.
- Collaboration: The mobile app includes a collaboration feature that allows students to communicate and collaborate with teachers and classmates, such as through messaging and file sharing. This helps to improve the student experience and encourage collaboration among students.
- Learning materials: The mobile app includes access to learning materials, such as lesson plans, readings, and videos, which are organized by course and topic. This helps students to easily access and review the materials they need to succeed in their studies.
- Integration with the CRM system: The mobile app is integrated with the CRM system, which allows for seamless communication and collaboration between students, teachers, and staff members. This helps to ensure that everyone is on the same page and that progress is tracked and monitored effectively.
