About this Product
Training providers, ed-tech startups, and corporate L&D teams outgrow spreadsheets and disconnected video tools fast: they need to author structured courses, gate progression on graded assessments, issue verifiable certificates, and prove completion to auditors or clients — all tied to the same contacts, invoices, and reporting they already run in ERPNext. ERPNext core has no learning surface at all (the community frappe/lms app is a separate product with its own opinions), so teams end up stitching together an external LMS that never shares a customer record, a payment, or a report with their operational system. That integration gap is exactly where this build lives.
ECOSIRE builds a proper Frappe app — a versioned, bench get-app-installable module with its own DocTypes rather than customizations bolted onto stock forms. The data model is modeled as first-class DocTypes: Course, Course Lesson (child ordering by idx), Quiz and Quiz Question, Course Enrollment, Lesson Progress, Assessment Result, and Course Certificate. Business logic runs where Frappe expects it: hooks.py doc_events (for example Assessment Result.on_submit) recompute a learner's weighted grade and, when the pass threshold is met, insert the Course Certificate and fire a notification. Server-side scoring and eligibility checks live in whitelisted methods (@frappe.whitelist()) so a browser can never award itself a pass; client scripts handle the in-form UX like revealing the next lesson only after the current one is marked complete.
Access and multi-audience separation are handled with Frappe's permission engine — Role Profiles and role_profile-driven permissions for Student, Instructor, and Program Admin, plus User Permissions to scope instructors to their own batches. The learner-facing experience is delivered either as a Frappe Web Portal (Jinja www/ pages and Web Forms) or as a headless front end consuming the Frappe REST API (/api/resource/Course, /api/method/...) and your whitelisted enrollment and quiz-submission endpoints — you choose during scoping. Scheduled jobs (scheduler_events — hourly/daily) drive cohort lifecycle automation: opening and closing batch enrollment windows, sending drip-lesson and deadline reminders via the Notification framework, and expiring or renewing time-boxed certifications. Certificates render from a Print Format to PDF with a QR/verification link backed by a public whitelisted verifier.
Because this is build-to-order, you are not downloading a fixed marketplace app and hoping it fits. We start with a scoping call to map your course structure, assessment rules, certification logic, and who needs to see what. We then build and configure the app against Frappe/ERPNext v15 or v16, validate it with you on a staging bench through UAT, and cut over to production with a rollback plan. Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope, and you receive the full source in a Git repository you own, so nothing about the system is locked away from your own engineers.
What you get
- Installable source code for your version of the LMS app, packaged as a standard Frappe app
- Installation and configuration on your bench, including Role Profiles, scheduler events, and Print Formats
- Technical documentation: DocType reference, hooks/`doc_events` map, whitelisted API endpoints, and permission model
- End-user and instructor guide plus a live training session for your admins and course authors
- Post-go-live support window for defect fixes and configuration questions
- UAT on a staging bench with a signed-off test plan, plus a documented rollback plan for production cutover
- Git repository handover with full commit history so your engineers own and can extend the code
- Data setup assistance: initial course/quiz seed import and a sample cohort for validation
Who this is for
Training provider / course academy
Runs paid instructor-led and self-paced courses and needs cohort enrollment, graded assessments, and verifiable certificates tied to the same ERPNext where invoicing and student contacts already live.
Ed-tech startup founder
Wants a self-hostable, source-owned LMS on Frappe with a REST API for a custom or mobile front end, avoiding per-seat SaaS pricing while keeping full control of the data model.
Corporate L&D / compliance manager
Needs to assign mandatory training by role, track completion at the lesson level, and issue time-boxed certifications with automated renewal reminders for audit evidence.
ERPNext administrator / internal engineer
Owns an existing ERPNext deployment and wants a clean, `bench`-installable app with documented DocTypes and hooks that migrates cleanly on v15/v16 rather than fragile form hacks.
How Learning Management System (LMS) Compares
| Criterion | ECOSIRE | Custom Build | Competitor | ERPNext Native |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fit to your curriculum & grading rules | Modeled exactly to your courses, weighting, and certification logic | Fully custom but you specify and maintain everything | Fixed feature set; you adapt to its assumptions | No learning features at all in ERPNext core |
| ERPNext integration | Same site, shared users/contacts/reporting, clean `bench migrate` | Depends on your team's Frappe depth | Often a separate product with loose coupling | N/A — feature does not exist |
| Source ownership | Full Git repo handover, yours to extend | You own it but built it from zero | Vendor-controlled; limited to their roadmap | Open source but nothing to own here |
| Assessment & certificate integrity | Server-side grading in whitelisted methods + hook-issued certificates | Only as strong as you build it | Varies; may score client-side | None |
| Time to production | Typically one working week from confirmed scope | Months, plus hiring/ramp risk | Fast to install, slow to bend to your needs | Immediate but delivers nothing |
| API / headless front end | REST + custom whitelisted methods, portal or SPA | Whatever you choose to build | Limited to what the app exposes | Generic Frappe API, no LMS endpoints |
| Support & accountability | Post-go-live window + optional retainer, single vendor | Your team owns all defects | Community/vendor tickets, no customization | Community support only |
| Version support (v15/v16) | Built and tested on both, upgrade path quotable | You track and test upgrades | Depends on maintainer's release cadence | Tracks ERPNext but adds no LMS |
Frequently Asked Questions about Learning Management System
Is this a ready-made app I can download and install today?
No. This is a build-to-order engagement. ECOSIRE builds the LMS to your curriculum, assessment rules, and certification logic, then installs and supports it. It is not an existing Frappe Cloud Marketplace download, so there is no instant-download link.
How long does delivery take?
Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope. The timeline starts once we've agreed on your course structure, grading rules, roles, and front-end choice during scoping. Larger catalogs, headless front ends, or complex certification/renewal logic can extend it — we confirm the estimate in writing before starting.
How is this different from the community frappe/lms app?
The community app is a fixed, opinionated product. We build an app shaped to your requirements — your DocType fields, grading formulas, permission model, certificate design, and API. You own the source in Git and can extend it, rather than working around someone else's assumptions.
Does it work with our existing ERPNext, and which versions?
Yes. It installs as a standard Frappe app alongside ERPNext and shares the same site, users, and contacts. We build and test for Frappe/ERPNext v15 and v16, with a clean `bench migrate` path. Tell us your exact version at scoping.
What about support and updates after go-live?
Every engagement includes a post-go-live support window for defect fixes and configuration questions. Because you receive the full Git repository, your own engineers can maintain it, and we can quote an ongoing support/enhancement retainer or handle version upgrades (v15→v16) as a separate scope.
Can we run a custom or mobile front end instead of the Frappe portal?
Yes. The LMS exposes the Frappe REST API plus custom whitelisted methods for enrollment, quiz submission, and progress, so you can build a headless React/Next.js or mobile client. We decide between a Frappe Web Portal and a decoupled front end during scoping.
How are quiz scores and certificates kept tamper-proof?
All grading and pass/fail decisions run server-side in whitelisted methods and `on_submit` doc events — the browser never computes its own result. Certificate issuance is triggered by a hook only when the recorded score meets the threshold, and each certificate carries a QR link to a public verification endpoint.
