Everything you need to put your collection online

Five focused service lines that work together — pick one, or let us deliver the full stack and host it for you.

Library Automation (Koha)

Modern, branded online catalogues (OPACs) on the open-source Koha ILS.

We deploy and customise the Koha integrated library system for schools, universities and specialised institutions.

  • Progressive Web App (installable, offline-ready)
  • Staff client setup & cataloguing support
  • Patron, circulation & acquisitions configuration

Institutional Repositories (DSpace)

DSpace 8 digital repositories for theses, research output and archives.

We stand up and brand DSpace 8 repositories so universities can preserve and showcase their research — theses, dissertations, journals and institutional records — with open-access discovery, OAI-PMH harvesting and per-institution theming on a shared, efficiently-run platform.

  • DSpace 7.x → 8.x migration & upgrades
  • Custom Angular theme per university

Hosting & Managed Support

We run the servers, SSL, backups, monitoring and renewals so you don't.

Every system we deliver can be fully hosted and managed by us. We handle the VPS, Apache, Let's Encrypt SSL, automated backups, monitoring, security hardening and subscription renewals — and we operate a central management portal that auto-discovers every Koha and DSpace instance we run.

Odoo-based ERP to run admissions, fees, HR, accounting and operations.

  • Admissions & student information management
  • Fees, invoicing & accounting
  • HR, payroll & staff management
  • Inventory, procurement & assets
  • Role-based dashboards & reporting

Learning Management (Moodle)

Branded Moodle e-learning portals for courses, quizzes and grading.

  • Timetabling & daily attendance
  • Markbook & student progress
  • Lesson planning & curriculum
  • Behaviour & pastoral records
  • Parent & student portals

  • Per-institution colour palette & crest integration
  • Custom-domain cutovers with zero data loss
