A national eyecare learning academy: one white-label platform training ~48,000 professionals across a marketplace and three enterprise portals

An accredited e-learning platform for the entire eyecare profession — opticians, technicians, optometrists, and practice staff. It had to be an open marketplace, a regulated certification engine, and a private corporate academy for national retailers, all at once.

The customer

An accredited academy for the whole eyecare profession

The customer runs an accredited e-learning platform for opticians, technicians, optometrists, and practice staff. It had to be three things at once:

An open marketplace where individuals buy courses and exam prep A regulated certification engine that reports to licensing boards A private corporate academy for national retailers training their workforce
The challenge

The biggest customers wanted it under their own brand

The largest customers didn't want to send their staff to someone else's website. They wanted the training to run under their own brand, on their own domain, behind their own corporate login — while the platform owner maintained one system underneath. That's the problem we solved.

The platform overview — marketplace, certification engine and enterprise portals as separate layers
The shape of it One platform carrying an open marketplace, a regulated certification engine and three branded enterprise academies at the same time.
What we built

One platform, many faces

From white-label enterprise portals and corporate SSO to automated board reporting and a 3D training simulator — all maintained centrally, shipped everywhere at once.

01 Flagship

White-label, multi-tenant branded training portals

WordPress LearnDash Multi-tenant architecture Role-based access control

The same core platform is deployed as separate, individually branded education portals — each on its own domain, with its own branding, login, catalog, and granular staff roles. Three of these power workforce training for national retail chains. To each company's staff, it looks like their employer's own academy. Underneath, it's one platform we maintain centrally — so a fix or feature ships to every portal at once.

The result: Three live, fully branded enterprise portals serving 35,000+ provisioned staff accounts — all running on shared infrastructure we maintain from one place.
02

Enterprise sign-on that fits each employer's systems

Corporate SSO HR / payroll login integration

Large employers won't hand tens of thousands of staff one more password. For each enterprise customer we wired login into the systems they already run — corporate SSO for some, HR/payroll-system login for others — so employees sign in with their existing company credentials and the right people get the right access automatically.

The result: Tens of thousands of retail staff onboarded through their employers' own login systems — no separate accounts to issue or chase.
03

Accredited continuing education with automatic board reporting

LearnDash WooCommerce Custom board-reporting engine Certificate engine

This isn't 'watch a video, get a PDF.' Course completions are converted into the exact records certification and licensing boards require (including ABO and NCLE) and submitted automatically — with credential and license numbers, pass dates, and credit hours. Learners receive official, credential-specific certificates, and required course-evaluation surveys are enforced before credit is granted, exactly as accreditation rules demand.

The result: A real compliance integration that keeps professionals' continuing-education credits filed correctly — replacing manual paperwork with an automated pipeline.
04

The B2B side: organizations tracking their people and compliance

Custom analytics dashboards Sponsor / group management Bulk onboarding tools

Team leaders and sponsors see a private dashboard scoped to only their own people — who's enrolled, progressing, stalled, or failing — and can export it. Corporate partners onboard hundreds of employees at once from a single spreadsheet, with automatic assignment to the correct training group. The platform also expires courses on schedule and cleans up accounts when a partnership ends.

The result: Enterprise customers manage a distributed workforce's training and compliance from one place — at the scale of a national retail chain.
05

A complete learning journey — assess, onboard, certify, keep current

LearnDash Custom assessment program Unity / WebGL simulator Ultimate Member

The platform runs a professional's full development lifecycle: skills assessment, onboarding, a structured certification-prep program with progress and at-risk tracking, and ongoing continuing education. Hands-on technical skills are taught through an interactive 3D Unity simulator embedded right inside the courses, and a guided exam experience enforces real pass standards.

The result: One coherent path from 'new hire' to 'certified and continuously current' — instead of a pile of disconnected courses.
06

Course sales & enrollment at scale

WooCommerce Roots Sage storefront Interactive state map

For individual buyers, it's a polished storefront: 40+ tailored landing pages for different roles and audiences, a fast modern checkout, and smart credit-hour pricing that rewards buying more CE credits at once. A click-your-state interactive map routes visitors straight to the requirements and courses that apply to them, and dedicated Canadian CE catalogs sit alongside the US ones.

The result: A conversion-focused marketplace serving individual and B2B buyers side by side, on the same platform that powers the enterprise portals.
