Introduction
The continuing education market is undergoing rapid change. Academies, training institutes, and professional education providers must operate more digitally, efficiently, and customer-focused than ever before.

-
Online course catalog with public and restricted offerings

Registration and booking workflows for individuals and corporate customers

Quotation, order, and invoicing management
-
Customer and participant administration

Importance & Key Benefits
-
All-in-One Platform
cimoio academy unifies training, resource, customer, and billing management in one system — eliminating media disruptions and isolated solutions. -
Efficient Planning
Trainers, rooms, and materials can be coordinated via drag & drop. This reduces administrative effort and prevents double bookings. -

Built-in reports provide key metrics on revenue, utilization, and participant days — at the click of a button. -
Seamless Integration
Thanks to bidirectional interfaces, cimoio academy connects effortlessly with existing IT systems (e.g., SAP, Salesforce, TYPO3).
Challenges in Practice
Many academies struggle with fragmented system environments:
-
Media disruptions between LMS, CRM, ERP, and booking systems
-
Time-consuming resource planning for trainers and rooms
-
Manual administrative processes for invoicing and reporting
-
Lack of transparency regarding utilization and profitability
-
Complex customer structures (individual learners, corporate clients, partner organizations)
These challenges lead to unnecessary effort, higher error rates, and limited scalability.
Unlike Sparkassenakademie, which operates with a mix of classroom and digital learning, JARO Akademie is a fully digital academy. In our joint project, the key focus was on ensuring a seamless — yet GDPR-compliant — online purchasing experience with immediate digital access to the purchased learning content.
