Education & HR · From course business to software product
We're CPI Technologies from Frankfurt, building software for business owners since 2017. For education providers and HR firms, that means learning portals, student administration, and applicant workflows as a product of your own — from idea to first version in about 90 days, tested with real students and clients. You end up with a software asset that earns recurring revenue and takes real work off your team.

Sound familiar?
Seminars, training programs, placements — your business runs on people. That's what makes it good, and it's also what makes it hard to scale: every additional course and every additional placement means more coordination, more admin, more staff. The demand is there — but your calendar and your back office set the pace.
What we build
Always software someone pays for — your students, your corporate clients, or your own team moving faster. Which of these fits your business is exactly what the Potential Analysis is for.
Our ready-made course platform as your foundation: video player with chapters, progress tracking, quizzes, certificates, and direct sales — in your branding, live in about 14 days.
Your curriculum, your method, your exam process as a subscription product: students learn at their own pace, corporate clients license seats for their teams — and you earn on content you created once.
Candidates apply online, see their status, and get matched to suitable roles — with AI supporting the matching. Your team focuses on the conversations that actually lead to a placement.
Your clients see candidate profiles, assignments, contracts, and invoices in their own account — instead of requesting them by email. That locks in clients and sets you apart from recruiters still working with PDF lists.
A digital coworker answers questions about course dates, documents, and application status — instantly, evenings included. Your team only steps in for the cases where a human is genuinely needed.
Learning, booking, applying — right in your users' pockets. Push notifications remind them of course dates or flag new job openings, reaching your audience before the competition has even replied.
Integrations
A platform running alongside your existing tools just creates double data entry. So we connect to what you already use — from your LMS to billing.
Your internal systems
Tools it talks to
A few examples — we connect what you actually need: HR systems like Personio or SAP SuccessFactors, video conferencing tools, payment providers, accounting. The integrations you need go into the written scope before the project starts.
How it works
No agency black box, no never-ending IT project: three steps, each with a clear deliverable — at a fixed price that's set before we start.
Step 1 · Weeks 1–2
Step 2 · Weeks 3–9
Step 3 · Weeks 10–13

What you get out of it
Software that works for you: as a second revenue stream, as relief for your team, and as an asset on your balance sheet.
Your course as a digital product, your portal as a subscription: students and corporate clients pay monthly — ten of them or ten thousand, your costs barely move. A fully booked calendar stops being your revenue ceiling.
Sign-up, course materials, certificate, status update — it all runs through the portal instead of inboxes and Excel. Your back office wins back hours every day, and you grow without hiring another administrator for every new cohort.
In a valuation or a succession, recurring software revenue counts as an asset in its own right — unlike seminar days that hang on individual trainers. You're building substance that keeps running even when you stop teaching yourself.
The comparison
A standard LMS or off-the-shelf HR tool is set up quickly — and stays a cost line that forces your business into its mold. Your own dev team is expensive and hard to find. Our approach: a platform of your own, built by people who have shipped software since 2017.

Application documents, learning records, references — data doesn't get much more sensitive, which is why privacy is part of our architecture, not a checklist at the end. Hosting is in the EU, GDPR-compliant, on accounts owned by your company. At any time, you get a full breakdown of every service in use and the running costs. There's no lock-in that only we can undo.
Yes. A portal running alongside your existing tools just creates double data entry. So we connect to what you already work with: HR systems like Personio or SAP SuccessFactors, video conferencing tools, payment providers, accounting. Which integrations you need is settled in the Potential Analysis — and they go into the written scope before the project starts.
If a standard LMS is all you need, we'll tell you so in the first call — you don't need to hire us for that. Your own platform pays off when your workflow doesn't fit the standard mold, or when the software itself is meant to make money: your course as a subscription product, your portal as a selling point with corporate clients. A rented LMS stays a cost line — your own platform becomes a company asset.
Because the scope is set before you sign: in the free Potential Analysis, we find out together whether your idea holds up. You then receive a written quote with scope, fixed price, and launch date. Once you sign, that number doesn't move — no matter how many hours we put in. Anything you want later, say another module for the student portal, gets its own quote.
You do. The source code, all credentials, the documentation, and every piece of student and applicant data belong to your company — including the hosting and service accounts. We keep running the platform long after launch, but a complete handover is possible at any time: to your own team or another provider. If you never hire us again afterwards, you're not missing a thing.
For us, AI speeds up writing code — not making decisions. Architecture, data model, and reviews are handled by a human who has been building software for nearly ten years. Every line goes through the same tests and standards as hand-written code. That way of working is what lets a student portal go live in about 90 days instead of eighteen months — and we've documented it publicly in our book (vibecodingbuch.de).
