Marafiq — Online Training Platform for Facilities Management Professionals

Marafiq, a training and consulting company in Riyadh, prepares facilities-management professionals for certifications such as FMP, CFM and CAMA, through live cohorts and recorded courses. Its old platform, built on an off-the-shelf LMS, got in the way: coupons were hidden from buyers, completion certificates needed a manual admin workaround, and the payment options did not match what Saudi learners expect. Marafiq needed a new platform with Arabic first, card and instalment payments, live and recorded teaching in one place, and every existing learner, course and enrolment carried over, so launch would not be a cold start.

After a proposal phase that cut a full-scope plan down to a fixed MVP, we designed each module (foundation, course management, learning, assessments, live sessions, commerce, certificates and migration) in its own technical design document, then built them on Laravel 13 with an Inertia and React 19 front end and a Filament admin panel. Checkout uses Stripe Elements for cards and Tamara for buy-now-pay-later, and course access is granted only when the payment webhook confirms. Live sessions run on Zoom and recorded lessons on Vimeo. Quizzes use a server-side timer with auto-grading, and certificates are issued automatically on completion as PDFs with a serial number and a QR code that opens a public verification page. A re-runnable import moved users, courses, enrolments and progress from the old platform before switch-over.
