Digitalisation for Small Businesses 1 – Where to Start?
The Project
GBA Solutions recently partnered with Food Safety Management Solutions Ltd (FSMS) to create a custom software solution for online learning. This bespoke platform allows Food Safety Management Solutions to offer accessible and engaging food safety courses to a wider audience.
Designed for Effective Training
Food Safety Management Solutions initially looked at off-the-shelf solutions but found that many were overly complex and didn’t fit within their budget. After a thorough search, they realised that existing options didn’t meet their specific needs and decided that a custom food safety training platform would be the most effective way to achieve a straightforward and user-friendly training experience. GBA Solutions stepped in to deliver a tailored app that perfectly fits the requirements.
The new software platform allows learners to watch instructional videos in sequence, ensuring they follow the material in a structured manner. At the end of each course, learners must complete a test to assess their understanding. Only upon successful completion of the test are they awarded their certificate. This approach not only reinforces the learning material but also ensures that learners meet the necessary standards before receiving certification.
Key Features: Focused on Usability and Engagement
- Passwordless Login: Learners can access their personal dashboards with a single click, avoiding password management issues.
- Intuitive Course Navigation: Courses and quizzes are organised clearly, allowing learners to progress at their own pace.
- Real-Time Progress Tracking: Learners can resume from where they left off, even within a module, ensuring a smooth learning experience.
- Automatic Certification: Certificates are generated and emailed to learners and their employers upon course completion, simplifying compliance and record-keeping.
- Comprehensive Admin Dashboard: FSMS administrators can view detailed insights into learner progress, course completion rates, and quiz performance, aiding in course improvement.
Robust and Scalable Backend Tools
To ensure the platform’s performance, reliability, and ability to scale, GBA Solutions utilised Firebase and Google Cloud Functions for the backend development. These tools were chosen for their ability to deliver high performance and scalability, ensuring that the custom software can grow with Food Safety Management Solution’s expanding needs while maintaining a smooth and reliable user experience.
Client-Centric Collaboration
“Warren [from GBA Solutions] was excellent to work with throughout the project,” said Mark Long, Managing Director of FSMS. “He clearly explained the process from the start, ensuring everything went smoothly and was delivered on time.”
The collaboration between Food Safety Management Solutions and GBA Solutions demonstrates the benefits of custom web app development. By tailoring the solution to FSMS’s needs, GBA Solutions provided a platform that enhances training capabilities while showcasing their own expertise in digitalisation and app development the training capabilities while showcasing their own expertise in digitalisation and app development.
