The Challenge
BusyBee Teachers had a clear goal but faced a tough situation.
They needed an EdTech platform ready before the school year to simplify managing substitute teacher assignments.
But it couldn’t stop there, it had to
- Integrate with a payment platform for smooth transactions.
- Provide payroll reports that are accurate and easy to access.
- Combine all tools into one system to cut down operational stress.
This had to be done on a fixed budget and timeline, making it critical to get every detail right.
Schools, teachers, and students were counting on BusyBee to deliver quickly.
The Idea
BusyBee Teachers envisioned an EdTech platform to simplify managing substitute teachers and eliminate the chaos of last-minute classroom coverage.
A single system that could
Integrate payments to make transactions seamless.
Automate payroll reporting to save time and reduce errors.
Simplify the user experience to keep administrative tasks quick and easy.
Their goal was to make operations efficient and adaptable so schools could focus on education, not logistics.
The Solution
Building BusyBee’s vision took strategy and collaboration.
The development process was split into two key phases to ensure functionality and scalability.
Phase 1: Building the basics
We focused on creating a reliable foundation with features like:
- A user-friendly interface for easy navigation.
- Payment integration for quick transactions.
- Accurate payroll reporting to reduce errors.
This initial phase prioritized simplicity and usability but revealed scalability concerns during an external audit.
The database structure needed a complete overhaul.
To address the scalability issue, we rebuilt the app from the ground up with a more robust architecture, ensuring long-term reliability.
Phase 2: Adding features
Once the basics were stable, we expanded functionality to provide deeper tools for schools and administrators while keeping all systems integrated.
- Milestone 1: Core functionality ready before the school year.
- Milestone 2: Rebuilding the app for scalability.
- Milestone 3: Adding features for complete system support.
