Our client, a consortium of Eastern European universities, needed a single platform to manage education programs.
Their existing systems were fragmented, which created barriers for students and the universities’ staff alike.
Thus, the consortium required a unified system to take care of course management and remote learning across multiple institutions.
Given these needs, the client selected K-Softex based on our expertise in building cohesive multi-platform applications.
The project presented several distinct technical and operational hurdles to our team.
To merge disparate legacy workflows and data structures from three different universities into one logical platform, we had to conduct careful planning.
The solution required a consistent experience across web browsers and native mobile devices, with full functionality available on each.
Features like live seminar streaming, instant messaging, and assignment notifications needed reliable and synchronized delivery.
The platform had to serve distinct interfaces and permissions for students and instructors, as well as administrative staff.
Finally, handling sensitive student information and academic records imposed strict requirements for security and data integrity.
Java / Spring Boot / Event Sourcing / PostgreSQL / Apache Kafka
NestJS / PostgreSQL / Socket.IO / TypeORM / JWT / Passport.js
React / React Native / Redux Toolkit / Axios / Styled Components / Tailwind CSS
Docker / Private Cloud / Nginx / GitLab CI / Prometheus and Grafana
To address this, K-Softex architected a platform using NestJS for its structured backend capabilities, paired with React for the web and React Native for mobile applications.
A monolith-first NestJS API, organized with clear modular boundaries to simulate microservice separation for future scaling
This included integration of Socket.IO for real-time features (chat, live session updates)
We also built a structured permissions system into the API layer to enforce role-based access
A React web application for full administrative and desktop learning management
To complement this, a React Native mobile application provided core learning and communication tools
Both platforms shared component and state management logic, which maintained consistency across devices
Deployment occurred on a private cloud with dedicated databases for application data and user files
This setup was supported by automated backup procedures and comprehensive activity logging for audit trails
A unified dashboard for course enrollment, materials, and schedules
Integrated systems for assignment submission, grading, and feedback
Real-time messaging and notification centers
Separate administrative portals for user and curriculum management
The platform launched on schedule for the fall semester 2025. At the moment, it supports over 5,000 active users across the three founding institutions.
Following the launch, student engagement with course materials increased, and administrative reporting times improved. Looking ahead, the consortium plans to onboard two additional universities next year and use the extensible architecture K-Softex built.
