Overview

Daughters & Dads Active & Empowered, an education-based initiative, needed a robust Learning Management System (LMS) to support its growing program. After extensive research, they found that existing LMS solutions either lacked essential features or were too costly. Given their unique requirements—such as multi-partner collaboration and cross-regional scalability—they required a custom solution to support their vision for long-term growth. By leveraging ABP.IO’s modular architecture, multi-tenancy support, and built-in functionalities, they developed DadInspired.com, a scalable LMS that efficiently manages training, communication, and program delivery. 

Challenge

Before adopting ABP.IO, the program faced several challenges. Existing LMS platforms were either missing critical features or were cost-prohibitive for their growing needs. Scalability was a concern, as managing operations across multiple regions required a system that could seamlessly grow with their expansion. The team also needed a way to efficiently collaborate with partners such as Cricket Australia and Football NSW, which was difficult without a tailored system. Additionally, their onboarding processes were highly manual, often taking several hours to complete, limiting efficiency and overall program growth.

Solution

ABP.IO provided the ideal foundation for the DadInspired.com LMS, enabling the team to build a customized and scalable platform. Its modular architecture and multi-tenancy support allowed for seamless expansion, while features such as role-based access control and the impersonation feature improved system security and administration. The team leveraged ABP.IO’s user management system to streamline stakeholder collaboration, utilized Azure-hosted infrastructure for secure cloud-based operations, and implemented the Lepton Theme with MVC architecture for a modern and responsive user experience. Entity Framework (EF) Core facilitated efficient data management, ensuring smooth program operations. These capabilities allowed Daughters & Dads Active & Empowered to enhance facilitator training, improve communication management, and streamline program delivery across Australia and internationally. 

Result

By adopting ABP.IO, Daughters & Dads Active & Empowered significantly improved efficiency, scalability, and program management. The onboarding process, which once took several hours, was reduced to minutes, enabling faster facilitator training and program expansion. Since implementation, the program has reached over 6,100 daughters and dads and has trained more than 500 facilitators. Strong partnerships have been established with over 30 organizations, including government agencies and sports organizations. The program has also successfully expanded internationally, now operating in Australia, Northern Ireland, England, Austria, and South Africa.
