No sales Pitch
Dr. Akshay Bali, the founder of eLearningFRCPath.com had built a trusted platform for pathology professionals, with over 3,000+ registered students and 5,000+ course orders processed over time. In 2024, he decided to revamp the entire website to offer a better learning experience. The new UI/UX was handled by a freelancer—who also built the original version—but when it came to migrating the existing user base and orders, things came to a halt.
The previous developer was unable to migrate the massive database of users and their historical orders. Since the website was live and built in PHP with Laravel, this posed a major crisis:
Thousands of students were locked out of their purchased materials
The client was under pressure and feared refunds worth lakhs of rupees
The reputation of a trusted learning platform was at stake
Recognized for our Laravel and database expertise, iTSoftexpert was brought in to handle the complex database recovery and restructuring task—without taking the site offline.

Thanks to our structured approach, in-depth Laravel knowledge, and real-time handling, all users regained full access, orders were restored, and Dr. Bali didn’t have to issue a single refund. Panic was replaced with relief, and the platform continued to thrive without disruption.
