Our client is a school management platform that brings together pupils, schools, and supervisory bodies in Latvia and Estonia.
In today’s digital age, schools need a robust management platform to streamline communication, enhance parent engagement, and improve student learning outcomes. A school management mobile application serves as a centralized system that enables schools to manage various aspects of their operations, including student information, attendance, grades, and communication with parents. With the increasing use of mobile devices, having a mobile app is essential. It allows parents and students to access important information on-the-go, ensuring they stay informed and connected with the child’s school activities. This accessibility is crucial for fostering a collaborative environment between schools, parents, and students.
The EdTech industry encompasses various technologies that reimagine learning for children and adults. Our client provides easy access to study-related information and allows keeping track of grades and tasks right in the app. The platform should enable schools to send important messages to parents and students, facilitate online registration and payment processing, provide easy access to student information and grades, and ensure direct communication with the child's school.
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. To do so, the client needed to find an experienced team to rebuild the existing functionality from scratch using React Native development services. The new framework ensures compatibility with various smartphones, enhancing accessibility and user convenience.
The whole project consisted of two phases. During the first phase, the Akveo team developed the app's current version using React Native, with some pieces implemented with web views.
The project’s second phase included a complete app redesign. It’s worth saying that the designer from the client's team provided an excellent design system for further progress. To kick off this phase, the development team chose UI Kitten, our branded React Native framework for creating cross-platform mobile applications.
The framework supports the Eva Design System by default but can adapt to other design systems, mainly by setting up configuration JSONs. This approach is very convenient as it speeds up implementation time dramatically.

The client was pretty impressed to realize how smoothly the app’s new version worked. The app is now available for download on the app stores. Our client is the first and the largest online educational information environment in Estonia, with more than 200.000 active users and 1 million grades entered daily
Our client has big plans for the product. For instance, extending system availability for different regions and creating a components library, which may be re-used across several mobile products.
