About The Customer
Terrain is a curated online course marketplace that caters to entrepreneurs and course creators. It offers a platform for course creators to host their courses at no cost. The only requirement is the quality of the course. Terrain also markets the courses for the creators and takes a percentage in return. For users, Terrain offers a unique system of peak points, which are awarded for course completion and can be traded for discounts or donated to charity. The platform aims to become a vibrant community of learning and the go-to platform for entrepreneurs wanting to learn new, practical skills to grow their business.
The Challenge
Terrain, an online course marketplace, was facing a unique challenge. The platform was designed to emphasize course completion rather than course hoarding, a common problem among entrepreneurs. However, the founder, Eman Zabi, had no experience with no-code tools, which are essential for building robust and feature-rich web applications. The challenge was to find a no-code platform that could offer limitless features and options to build the web app. Additionally, the platform needed to be user-friendly, as Eman had no prior experience with such tools.
The Solution
Eman chose Bubble's no-code platform to build Terrain. Bubble offered a robust and limitless feature set that was perfect for building the web app. It also had an active forum, which was encouraging for a beginner like Eman. The app works by allowing users to sign up, pick categories they're interested in, and earn peak points by completing courses. These points can be traded for discounts or donated to charity. The app also offers a free demo course for users to test all the features, including badges, LinkedIn certificates, discussion boards, forums, and a dark mode.

IoT platform Enables Safety Solutions for U.S. School Districts
Designed to alert drivers when schoolchildren are present, especially in low-visibility conditions, school-zone flasher signals are typically updated manually at each school. The switching is based on the school calendar and manually changed when an unexpected early dismissal occurs, as in the case of a weather-event altering the normal schedule. The process to reprogram the flashers requires a significant effort by school district personnel to implement due to the large number of warning flashers installed across an entire school district.

Digital Transformation of Atlanta Grout & Tile: An IoT Case Study
Atlanta Grout & Tile, a Tile, Stone & Grout restoration company based in Woodstock, Georgia, was facing challenges with its traditional business model. Despite steady growth over the years, the company was falling behind the web revolution and missing out on the opportunity to tap into a new consumer base. They were using independent software from different vendors for each of their department information and workforce management. This resulted in a lot of manual work on excel and the need to export/import data between different systems. This not only increased overhead costs but also slowed down their response to clients. The company also had to prepare numerous reports manually and lacked access to customer trends for effective business decision-making.

Revolutionizing Medical Training in India: GSL Smart Lab and the LAP Mentor
The GSL SMART Lab, a collective effort of the GSL College of Medicine and the GSL College of Nursing and Health Science, was facing a challenge in providing superior training to healthcare professionals. As clinical medicine was becoming more focused on patient safety and quality of care, the need for medical simulation to bridge the educational gap between the classroom and the clinical environment was becoming increasingly apparent. Dr. Sandeep Ganni, the director of the GSL SMART Lab, envisioned a world-class surgical and medical training center where physicians and healthcare professionals could learn skills through simulation training. He was looking for different simulators for different specialties to provide both basic and advanced simulation training. For laparoscopic surgery, he was interested in a high fidelity simulator that could provide basic surgical and suturing skills training for international accreditation as well as specific hands-on training in complex laparoscopic procedures for practicing physicians in India.

Implementing Robotic Surgery Training Simulator for Enhanced Surgical Proficiency
Fundacio Puigvert, a leading European medical center specializing in Urology, Nephrology, and Andrology, faced a significant challenge in training its surgical residents. The institution recognized the need for a more standardized and comprehensive training curriculum, particularly in the area of robotic surgery. The challenge was underscored by two independent studies showing that less than 5% of residents in Italian and German residency programs could perform major or complex procedures by the end of their residency. The institution sought to establish a virtual reality simulation lab that would include endourological, laparoscopic, and robotic platforms. However, they needed a simulator that could replicate both the hardware and software of the robotic Da Vinci console used in the operating room, without being connected to the actual physical console. They also required a system that could provide both basic and advanced simulation training, and a metrics system to assess the proficiency of the trainees before they performed surgical procedures in the operating theater.
