Kumon: Laravel Education Platform Case Study

Education website development & international rollout

We improved Kumon’s existing Laravel application, migrated regional website data and supported the launch of more than 20 websites worldwide.

Kumon provides after-school maths and reading programmes through a network of learning centres. Its regional websites connect families with programme information, local instructors and appointments, while the content management system supports the teams behind those websites.

Kumon needed to prepare its existing Laravel platform for use across multiple countries. Our role brought together application development, system fixes, regional website data migration and technical support around each country’s launch.

20+regional websites launched

Dedicated teamdevelopment and rollout support

The project started with an existing application and a programme of regional launches. We needed to understand how the system worked, investigate faults and improve its functionality as the rollout progressed.

We allocated a dedicated team to the work and organised issues and development priorities in a shared project tracking tool. This gave Kumon and our developers a clear view of outstanding work and the requirements associated with each launch.

That combination of technical investigation and coordinated delivery is central to our Laravel development and support work: understanding an application, resolving problems and helping it move forward.

01 / EXPLORE

Understand the programmes

Families need clear information about the learning programmes before deciding on their next step. Regional content gives those public-facing pages their local context.

02 / FIND

Find a learning centre

Learning-centre and instructor information connects the wider education brand with the people and locations relevant to each family.

03 / ARRANGE

Move towards an appointment

Appointment journeys bring the website into the organisation’s day-to-day operations. The platform needed to support these journeys across regions and time zones.

We worked within Kumon’s existing Laravel system, building on the platform already in place and improving functionality needed for its wider international use.

We investigated errors and worked through a tracked list of bugs and fixes. Priorities were connected to the needs of each regional launch.

We supported the transfer of data from separate regional websites into the centralised platform, alongside the application work required for the rollout.

We improved the CMS and its functionality to support the content and operational requirements of websites serving different regions.

The application supported learning-centre information and appointments across regions and time zones. These requirements informed the development work.

A dedicated team provided ongoing technical support throughout the launch programme, keeping issues, development priorities and regional requirements visible.

Bringing regional website data into one platform

Data migration was a substantial part of the brief. Kumon’s regional websites held information that needed to move into the centralised system, making migration a core part of preparing each website for use.

We supported this work alongside the application improvements. The regional content and the functionality presenting it had to be considered together, particularly where websites connected programme information with learning centres and appointment journeys.

This was an existing-platform development project with a significant migration requirement. Our contribution combined technical support, application fixes and preparation for the regional rollout.

Coordinating development around regional launch dates

International delivery meant keeping development work aligned with a series of country launches. We used a shared, tracked list of issues and priorities so the team could see what needed attention and how it related to the wider programme.

Our dedicated developers worked through system fixes and functionality improvements while providing technical support as issues arose. Regular communication with Kumon kept the application work, migration requirements and launch priorities connected.

The project supported the launch of more than 20 websites worldwide. It demonstrates our experience taking an established Laravel application forward while managing the practical demands of regional content and an international rollout.

Laravel development for education organisations

An education website can connect several different needs: families researching a programme, people finding a local centre and staff managing the information behind those journeys. Kumon’s project brought these requirements into a multi-regional application.

Our work shows how custom application development can support an education organisation with an existing system, substantial content and operational requirements that span more than one website.
