Inspiration

The idea for BarakahEdu emerged while building a dynamic website template for a government school. During that process, I realized how fragmented the tech solutions for educational institutions are. Schools and colleges often struggle to manage ERP systems separately while also outsourcing website development. This sparked the vision to create a single platform that offers both a website and ERP—streamlined, scalable, and user-friendly.

What it does

BarakahEdu is a SaaS-based platform that provides educational institutions with:

  • A modern, customizable website
  • An integrated ERP system for school/college management
  • A backend desktop application for administrative tasks

Once a user signs up and selects a plan, the system automatically provisions their environment, generates admin credentials, and gives access to both the web dashboard and the desktop application. Schools can manage everything from student records to website content from a single platform.

How we built it

  • Designed and deployed a scalable, multi-tenant database schema
  • Currently developing a complete set of RESTful APIs
  • Planned architecture based on enterprise-grade design patterns
  • Envisioned infrastructure leveraging cloud computing and DevOps practices
  • Future components include a responsive frontend, backend desktop app, and CI/CD pipelines

Challenges we ran into

  • The biggest challenge is building a robust, enterprise-level SaaS product as a solo developer
  • Managing the scalability of multi-tenant environments and provisioning resources automatically
  • Designing a UI/UX that is simple enough for non-technical users but powerful enough for full ERP functionality
  • Balancing backend performance with modular, customizable frontends

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Successfully completed and deployed a scalable database design
  • Gained deep insights into enterprise software development and DevOps workflows
  • Progressed steadily through the backend API development with clean architecture and best practices
  • Developed a clear, long-term roadmap with innovative features like animated video generation

What we learned

  • How enterprise applications are structured and scaled using design patterns
  • The importance of planning infrastructure early—especially for multi-tenant systems
  • How cloud services and DevOps tools can dramatically accelerate development and deployment
  • The value of UX design in SaaS products, particularly in education tech

What's next for BarakahEdu

  • Complete the API layer and build the web and desktop UIs
  • Launch a private beta for early adopter institutions
  • Implement customizable website theming and role-based access
  • Build a feature to convert educational text into animated videos—because students remember better with visual and auditory content
  • Integrate AI-driven analytics and multi-language support
  • Expand the team to scale faster and more efficiently.
