LMS Platforms Built for Real Learning

Moodle is dated. Generic SaaS LMSs charge per user and lock in your content. We build custom LMS platforms that match how your training, school, or corporate L&D programme actually runs — with the integrations, branding, and reporting your stakeholders need.

LMS Capabilities

Six features off-the-shelf LMSs handle either badly or expensively. We build them well at the price your build justifies.

Course Builder & Content

Modules, lessons, video (with adaptive streaming via Mux or Cloudflare), interactive quizzes, drag-and-drop assignments, SCORM 1.2/2004 import, and xAPI for granular tracking.

Cohorts & Roles

Learners, instructors, admins, and parent/employer accounts. Cohort-based delivery (timed releases, group discussions), self-paced modes, and per-organisation tenancy if you sell to multiple companies.

Progress & Reporting

Per-learner progress, completion rates, time spent, quiz scores. Aggregate reports for managers, employers, and your own accreditation body. Exportable to CSV or auto-emailed weekly.

Certificates & Compliance

Auto-generated PDF certificates with signatures and verification URLs. CPD logging, regulatory-compliance tracking (e.g. healthcare safeguarding renewals), and audit-ready records for inspections.

Payments & Subscriptions

Stripe for one-off course purchases, subscriptions for recurring access, B2B invoicing for corporate buyers, and bulk-license management. Promo codes, free trials, and group discounts as needed.

Integrations & SSO

SSO with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or Okta. Webhook integrations with HRIS (BambooHR, HiBob), Salesforce, and Slack. xAPI/LRS for advanced learning analytics.

When Custom LMS Wins

Three patterns where building beats configuring.

Your Content & Brand Is Your Product

If your training or course content IS your business (regulated training, professional certifications, paid education), trapping it inside a generic LMS limits your branding, integrations, and pricing flexibility. Custom keeps your IP yours.

Per-User SaaS Pricing Doesn’t Scale

Most LMS SaaS charges per active learner per month. At 5,000+ learners, the monthly cost approaches the build cost of a custom platform that you own outright and pay only hosting on going forward.

You Need Real Compliance Reporting

Regulated training (healthcare, finance, safeguarding, ISO certifications) needs evidence-quality reporting your auditor can rely on. Generic LMSs often have report formats that fall short. Custom builds the audit trail you actually need.
