Doulio AI – Doula Workforce Management Platform
From idea to a production-ready doula workforce platform in 8 weeks — role-based dashboards, full LMS with certifications, and BAA-ready infrastructure. First B2B customer signed before the build was even complete.
Doulio AI aimed to create a comprehensive platform to manage doulas for healthcare and community organizations. The platform was designed to support doulas, organizations, and super admins with dashboards, workflows, certifications, and learning management, while ensuring compliance and enabling a smooth user experience.
Two problems that made a fast launch feel impossible
A doula workforce platform needed to go from idea to production in 8 weeks — covering multiple user roles, a certification LMS, scheduling, and enterprise-grade compliance, with no technical co-founder on the team.
- Doulas, organizations, and super admins each needed separate dashboards and permissions
- A full LMS with assessments and certificate issuance — not a simple content library
- Intake workflows, charting, and compliance tracking all had to connect before launch
- Brittany's team was actively demoing to B2B customers — the prototype had to close deals
- HIPAA-compliant infrastructure had to be embedded from day one, not scoped for phase 2
- A 6–12 month timeline would have cost Doulio its early market window entirely
How we delivered in 8 weeks
Built a fully working prototype in Week 1 covering all user roles. Delivered role-based dashboards, an LMS with certification tracking, compliance workflow automation, and session scheduling — BAA-ready and production-grade by Week 8.
- Bitsol delivered a fully working prototype in Week 1 covering all three user roles — doulas, organizations, and super admins. Over Week 2, the Doulio team used the prototype, tested every flow, and demoed it to early customers. This process refined scope based on real usage, not assumptions — and allowed Doulio to sign their first B2B customer before production code was written
- Once scope was locked, we moved directly into production. The entire Phase 1 platform was delivered in 8 weeks, including role-based dashboards for doulas, organizations, and super admins; intake workflows and charting; a complete LMS with assessments and certificate issuance; and HIPAA-compliant infrastructure with audit trails throughout
What changed — measurably
Working prototype delivered and approved in Week 1 — covering all three user roles (doulas, organizations, super admins) before a single line of production code was written.
First B2B contract signed at Week 2 — while the platform was still being built.
Full Phase 1 platform launched in 8 weeks — role-based dashboards, LMS with assessments and certificates, compliance workflows, intake, charting, and scheduling.
Production-ready from day one — BAA-ready infrastructure, audit trails on every action, role-based access controls enforced throughout.
Straight From The Client
Bitsol delivered the prototype in two weeks, enabling the client to sign their first B2B customer before the platform was fully built. They launched a production-ready platform within eight weeks. Moreover, the team was responsive, quick, and organized. Their knowledge of startup culture stood out.
