About the Client

Our client is a school management platform that brings together pupils, schools, and supervisory bodies in Latvia and Estonia. The platform provides easy access to study-related information, allows tracking grades and tasks in-app, enables schools to send messages to parents and students, and facilitates online registration and payment processing.

[ Challenge ]

Rebuilding from Cordova to React Native

Initially, the first version of the app was based on Cordova and Angular. However, the client decided to choose another framework as Cordova was unstable. They needed an experienced team to rebuild the existing functionality from scratch using React Native.

The new framework needed to ensure compatibility with various smartphones, enhancing accessibility and user convenience for schools, parents, and students in Latvia and Estonia.

[ Solution ]

Building the Solution

The whole project consisted of two phases.

Phase 1: The Akveo team developed the app's current version using React Native, with some pieces implemented with web views.

Phase 2: A complete app redesign. The development team chose UI Kitten, Akveo's branded React Native framework, which supports the Eva Design System by default and can adapt to other design systems through configuration JSONs. This approach dramatically sped up implementation time.

Technology stack: TypeScript, MobX, React Navigation, UI Kitten, Firebase, i18next, React Native IAP.

Impact that Matters

The client was impressed by how smoothly the app's new version worked. It became the first and largest online educational information environment in Estonia.

200K+ active users

The app's new version runs smoothly across devices and is available for download on app stores, serving over 200,000 active users across Latvia and Estonia.

1 million grades daily

The platform handles over 1 million grades entered daily, proving the React Native architecture can handle scale required by a national education information system.

Largest EdTech in Estonia

The client became the first and largest online educational information environment in Estonia, with plans to extend availability to other regions and build a reusable components library.
