The challenge
A manual process was capping growth
The institution's enrollment and processing workflow was entirely manual, taking roughly one hour per student to complete. At a volume of around 100 enrollments per year, this consumed significant staff time.
It also capped how many students the institution could realistically process, limiting growth before any marketing or admissions effort even came into play.
What we did
Digitized enrollment end-to-end
We mapped the full enrollment and processing workflow and digitized it end-to-end, replacing manual data entry and paper-based steps with a streamlined digital process.
The redesign focused on removing redundant steps and giving staff a system that could scale with intake volume, not just handle it.
The result
Three times the capacity, same team
| Measure | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Processing time per student | 60 minutes | 20 minutes (≈67% reduction) |
| Daily capacity | 5 students / day | 15 students / day (3× increase) |
| Intake | 10 students | 100 students within 2 years, supported directly by the new process capacity |
