Transforming a Static Certificate Generator into a Scalable, Multi-Dashboard Platform
TL;DR
- Shahadah started as a basic certificate tool with limited functionality beyond enrollment and image upload.
- The platform lacked support for custom templates, student engagement, or administrative flexibility.
- Veroke redesigned the system architecture, added dynamic certificate generation, and built separate dashboards for admins, institutions, and students.
- Now Shahadah offers a full-featured certificate lifecycle management platform with future-proof scalability and improved operational control.

The Challenge: Static Tools in a Dynamic Ecosystem
Shahadah was launched with a simple goal: to generate and issue certificates online. But as user expectations evolved, the platform’s limited functionality became a barrier.
- The system offered little beyond onboarding and static certificate uploads. There was no template management, no student access control, and no real automation.
- As usage scaled, these limitations exposed cracks in performance and usability.
- Organizations found it difficult to manage certificates efficiently, and students had no visibility into their records or upcoming events.
The Solution: A Flexible, Role-Based Platform Rebuild
Shahadah approached Veroke with the goal of expanding platform capabilities. The vision was clear—turn a linear system into a dynamic engine that could manage multiple roles, templates, and user journeys.
Our approach focused on four pillars:
- Enable template-driven certificate generation
- Improve operational visibility for organizations
- Empower students with document access and event tracking
- Build a modular backend architecture for scale
How We Executed It
1. Discovery and Roadmap Definition
We started with stakeholder interviews and platform audits to identify key bottlenecks. This helped shape a product roadmap aligned with long-term organizational use cases.
- Our team refactored the existing system using Angular for the frontend and Node.js for the backend, with SQL database support.
- We replaced static uploads with dynamic certificate generation and enabled configuration of data fields, layout, and language.
2. Custom Dashboards for Each User Type
We introduced role-specific dashboards:
- Admin Dashboard: For platform-level settings, templates, and analytics.
- Institution Dashboard: For managing events, participants, and certificate issuance.
- Student Dashboard: For accessing documents, enrolling in events, and managing personal information.
Each dashboard was optimized for the specific workflows and responsibilities of its users.
3. Certificate Builder with Customizable Templates
The upgraded system supports template-driven generation.
- Admins can now define visual formats, insert dynamic data fields, and preview outputs.
- Certificates can be created in bulk and stored for audit or re-download.
4. Student Experience Layer
Students now have full access to their documents.
- They can view issued certificates, register for upcoming events, and track history from their personalized dashboard.
5. Data Centralization and Reporting
All operational data is now centralized, allowing Shahadah to generate insights, track certificate issuance volume, and create compliance reports without relying on manual exports.
From a Utility Tool to a Strategic Solution
Veroke helped Shahadah transition from a tool that served a single function to a full-fledged, user-centric system that supports diverse organizational needs. The new platform is positioned to handle future use cases, including integration with LMS systems, multilingual certificate templates, and real-time analytics.
Shahadah is no longer just a certificate generator. It is now a strategic platform for organizations looking to digitize and streamline their credentialing processes.
