Aristotle Circle connects families with admissions, education, and child development experts, offering services from pre-K through graduate school and special needs support. The network includes 200+ vetted experts, serving 500+ clients across 26 states and 7 countries.

As the business grew and after acquiring a major peer-tutoring business, Aristotle needed a single operational backbone that could run clients, tutors, and internal teams without outages, manual workarounds, or disconnected tools

Business Goal

Replace fragmented legacy systems with a unified ERP that reduces client friction, improves operational efficiency, supports regional segmentation, and scales with growth.

Executive Summary

After acquiring a peer-tutoring business, Aristotle Circle partnered with MEV to merge legacy systems into a single ERP-style platform. This unified operating system streamlined workflows for administration, clients, tutors, and regional advisors.

The team replaced manual, error-prone processes with automated scheduling, quoting, billing, and communications. The new system also introduced role-based access and region-based data segmentation specifically for Regional Education Advisors (REAs).
As a result, Aristotle Circle gained:
01:
Fully digital customer experience: clients schedule, pay, and communicate online
02:
Automated back office: less manual exporting, patchwork tools, and “phone scheduling”
03:
Tutor self-service: availability, timesheets, notes, training, and earnings in one place
04:
A platform they could monetize: the system later became licensable to other businesses

The Core Challenges Solved

C1:

Legacy platform failures were blocking growth

Frequent outages and poor construction meant downtime translated directly into operational stoppage and lost revenue opportunities.
C2:

Too much work was semi-manual

Staff exported and manipulated data by hand, stitched processes across tools, and spent time “making the system work” instead of running the business.
C3:

Client + tutor experience was friction-heavy

Scheduling by phone, limited self-service, and fragmented flows hurt experience for parents, students, tutors, and internal teams.
C4:

Needed region-based operations and fine-grained control

REAs required region-scoped visibility and workflows, plus role-based security and user action stamping (auditability).
[ how we did it/ ]

Solution & Implementation

Re-architected the platform as a unified system (4 apps, shared core)
Built a shared functional layer (Service Layer + Domain Model + Queue) with separate frontends per user group:
Delivered Administrative Backend, Client Portal, Tutor Portal, and REA Portal.
Implemented async workload handling via RabbitMQ to reduce load and support delayed processing.
Standardized data storage in MySQL5 with a shared model across subsystems.
Automated core revenue workflows (quotes → scheduling → billing)
Rebuilt the commercial flow so clients could accept offers with minimal friction and billing could run with fewer manual touches.
Introduced a quote-based system with flexible tutor rates (by region/subject/custom).
Integrated Authorize.net billing with a pre-authorization + later settle model.
Enabled secure, link-based actions (e.g., accepting a quote via secure access key link).
Built operational control: RBAC, segmentation, workflows, file sharing
Ensured internal teams could scale operations without turning the ERP into chaos.
Implemented roles-based security tied to geography + org structure + action permissions.
Added user action stamps for accountability (who approved/changed what).
Added record-based internal file sharing and tracked communications inside the system.
Supported tutor-facing workflows: availability calendar, timesheet sanity checks, automated notifications.
Enabled long-term operability
Delivered documentation intended to serve as an ongoing blueprint for maintenance and evolution.
Key Features:
Centralized ERP platform
Four web applications: Admin, Client, Tutor, REA portals
Billing automation with pre-authorization workflows
Role-based access control
Tutor availability & session scheduling
Secure file sharing, messaging, and notes
