Drupal LMS development

Overview

The client is a division of a global FMCG сorporation and one of the leading brands in the infant nutrition market. The company works closely with doctors, research teams, and local partners and provides expert nutrition support to parents of children from ages 0 to 36 months and parents-to-be.

“It’s great to see the platform performing smoothly during the closed release phase and the positive engagement from the initial campaign. I’m confident that the upcoming follow-up campaign will build on this momentum and help us learn even more about user behavior and adoption. It’s inspiring to see how our combined efforts are creating a meaningful impact for parents.”

Challenge

The client’s digital platform is highly centralized, relying on a shared codebase and a single repository for all markets. This created several LMS implementation challenges:

The client needed an LMS that could support its business goals within a centralized digital platform using a single codebase and repository across markets. This created several challenges:

Faster launch and validation

The client needed to launch learning initiatives quickly and validate the platform before committing to full-scale development.

Enterprise customization

New functionality had to align with global standards while remaining flexible enough to support regional requirements.

Scalable growth

The LMS needed to support a growing number of users and learning initiatives across markets without platform or licensing limitations.

Design consistency

The LMS needed to comply with the corporation’s design system to ensure a consistent user experience across digital products.

Access governance

Managing multiple user roles and permissions across countries and business units increased administrative complexity.

Our approach

Attico transformed the client’s vision into a secure, accessible, and fully customized learning platform designed to support parents at every stage of their journey. We selected Opigno to create a scalable platform aligned with the corporate design system and supporting personalized learning.

Technical consulting

As part of the discovery phase, we ran a Drupal LMS audit to assess client requirements and define selection criteria: launch timeline, functionality, and budget constraints. We compared Drupal solutions and alternative e-learning platforms for healthcare, helping the client select Opigno as the best-value option. Deliverables included feature and customization assessments, cost estimates, a demo, and a test server.

Rapid MVP validation

Our team delivered a working MVP in 50 hours using Opigno’s out-of-the-box capabilities, so the client got the opportunity to test the main learning flows, review the user experience, and validate the platform, then move forward with full-scale development.

Flexible LMS customization

Drupal’s flexible architecture allowed us to tailor Opigno’s theme, interfaces, and functionality to the client’s brand and learning flows. We implemented SSO, new content formats, admin tools, and adaptive learning based on user roles and interests. The client got a branded LMS that can grow with their needs without costly platform changes or per-user fees.

Security compliance and scanning

Attico’s professionals designed the LMS around the client’s security requirements from the outset. Embedding the learning portal directly into an existing Drupal ecosystem gave us more control over the code, integrations, and data, and made it easier to meet corporate security standards and pass the client’s security scans.

Responsive learning experience with global accessibility

We extended Opigno’s responsive and accessible foundation to branded interfaces, training pages, lessons, and learning materials. This ensures a consistent, user-friendly experience on mobile and desktop while supporting international accessibility requirements.

Detailed performance tracking

We implemented Google Analytics event and tag tracking across the LMS to give the client visibility into user behavior and learning engagement. The tracking setup helps the team understand how users interact with the platform, identify friction points, and evaluate the performance of learning campaigns.

Tech insights

New Drupal LMS features move through three separate environments before becoming available to users. Development takes place in the development environment, while the client and QA team validate release candidates in pre-production. Only approved changes are deployed to production, preventing untested functionality from reaching learners.
