CASA (Bremen)

From static TYPO3 site to digital operations platform.

A modern public site plus dashboards to reduce admin overhead and enable online-first workflows.

Case study in review — details anonymized; student data never shown.

Quick facts

Details anonymized; student data never shown.

Legacy: TYPO3 + disconnected ops
Phase 1: site + dashboards + online registration foundation
Outcome: fewer manual steps, faster enrollment

The problem

The organization had a static website and fragmented internal operations, creating delays in enrollment and heavy manual admin load.

Previous spend produced a brochure-style output instead of a system that could support workflows and role-based execution.

What we built

  • Modern public-facing website aligned with enrollment paths
  • Role-based dashboards for internal stakeholders
  • Online registration foundation for digital-first intake
  • Prototype-first delivery to remove trust gaps early

Why it worked

  • Clear phase boundaries allowed high-velocity delivery without scope drift.
  • Role-based architecture mapped product behavior to daily operations.
  • Early prototype checkpoints prevented late-stage rework.

Results

  • Reduced manual handoffs in enrollment workflows.
  • Replaced fragmented status updates with role-based visibility.
  • Enabled faster enrollment decisions with clearer operational data.

Public Surface

Modern site aligned with enrollment paths and real intake behavior.

Operations Core

Role-based dashboards giving staff one shared source of truth.

Workflow Engine

Online-first registration foundation replacing fragmented manual loops.

Before / after operations

Before

  • Static TYPO3 pages disconnected from day-to-day operations.
  • Registration handling distributed across email, documents, and manual tracking.
  • Limited visibility for staff across enrollment stages.

After

  • Modern public surface connected to internal operational workflows.
  • Online-first registration foundation replacing core manual loops.
  • Role-based dashboards with shared visibility for staff decisions.

Staff visibility

Staff can see enrollment state, pending actions, and next-step ownership without chasing updates across inboxes.
