OCTB: from an unstable codebase to a platform with 5,000+ active users
A language-learning platform connecting tutors in Latin America with students in North America.
- TYPE
- Client project
- STACK
- Laravel, PHP, JavaScript, Stripe, PayPal, WebSocket, HubSpot, Slack, Mixpanel
STEP IThe problem
The platform built by a previous agency was unstable and poorly structured. Every change risked breaking something else, while students and tutors depended on it daily.
STEP IIOur decision
Fix the critical bugs that students and tutors felt first, then rebuild the architecture underneath, without ever stopping the lessons.
STEP IIIWhat we built
- A stabilised core with a rebuilt architecture
- Lesson booking that matches tutor availability and student requests with a scan-line algorithm
- Stripe subscriptions plus pay-as-you-go minutes via Stripe and PayPal; no card data stored on the platform
- Real-time chat between tutor and student during lessons
- Schedules and client management for tutors, an admin panel for offers and support
- Homework generated from the lesson material and the student’s own mistakes
STEP IVThe result
A stable, self-sufficient platform with over 5,000 active users. Integrations with HubSpot, Slack and Mixpanel were added along the way.
“ANRO IT demonstrated outstanding skills in working with legacy code, enhancing the platform’s performance and usability. Their professionalism and organizational skills are impressive.”
