accz.lk case study

The Challenge
The accounting education sector in Sri Lanka demanded a platform that could cater to students’ needs for structured, flexible, and accessible learning. ACCZ.lk required a robust and scalable LMS that could manage course content, enable live interactions, and provide secure payment options for course enrollments.

The key challenges included:

• Developing a system that could handle real-time interactions, such as live classes, without disruptions.
• Ensuring a smooth payment process with integrations tailored to local preferences.
• Offering analytics tools to help both administrators and students track learning progress and course revenue.
• Providing a mobile-friendly and intuitive user experience for students from diverse backgrounds.

Our Approach
ACCZ.lk was developed using our Turn LMS platform, customized specifically for the unique requirements of accounting education. This allowed us to deploy a feature-rich LMS in a fraction of the time while maintaining high performance and flexibility.

The backend was built using Laravel 11, a powerful framework that supported the platform’s complex requirements, including live classes, notifications, and performance tracking. The hosting environment was optimized using AWS Lightsail, ensuring reliable uptime, scalability, and cost efficiency.

Key Features and Integrations

1. Live Class Integration with Zoom
   ACCZ.lk integrates directly with Zoom.us, enabling students and instructors to interact in real-time. This feature includes class scheduling, attendance tracking, and seamless video conferencing capabilities, all accessible through the platform’s intuitive interface.

2. Payment Gateway with PayHere
   To simplify and secure the payment process, we integrated PayHere, a popular local payment gateway. This allows students to pay for courses using credit/debit cards, mobile wallets, and bank transfers, providing flexibility and trust in transactions.

3. Notification System with Notify
   A robust notification system powered by Notify ensures that students and instructors are informed about class schedules, payment confirmations, and course updates. Notifications are delivered via email, SMS, and in-app alerts for maximum reach.

4. Revenue and Performance Analytics
   We implemented a comprehensive analytics dashboard that tracks both learning outcomes and revenue metrics. Course administrators can view insights on student engagement, course completion rates, and overall income, enabling data-driven decisions for growth.

5. Mobile-Friendly Design
   Recognizing the high percentage of mobile users, the platform was designed with a mobile-first approach. This ensures that students can access their courses, participate in live classes, and manage payments seamlessly across devices.
