Building learning platforms for enterprise needs

Off-the-shelf platforms offer standard features but lack customization for specific compliance requirements, complex integrations, or unique workflows. Custom LMS development provides full control over features, branding, user management, and integration with enterprise systems like HRIS, CRM, and SSO. We build learning management systems with course delivery, progress tracking, assessments, and reporting tailored to your organization.

Our capabilities include:

Custom LMS platform development
HRIS and enterprise system integration
Compliance tracking and certification management
Course authoring and content delivery systems
Assessment tools and progress analytics
Mobile-responsive learning platforms

Who we work with

Custom LMS development suits organizations with specific training requirements that off-the-shelf platforms can’t meet. We work with enterprises needing compliance tracking, companies requiring complex HRIS integrations, or businesses with unique learning workflows.

Enterprises with Compliance Requirements

Your organization requires specific compliance tracking, certification management, and audit trails that generic LMS platforms don't provide. Custom LMS development enables precise tracking of regulatory training, automated certification renewals, and detailed reporting for industry-specific compliance standards.

Companies Needing System Integration

Your training platform must integrate with existing HRIS, CRM, SSO, and business systems. Custom LMS development provides seamless integration with Workday, BambooHR, Salesforce, Okta, and other enterprise tools, syncing user data and automating enrollment workflows.

Organizations with Custom Workflows

Your training programs require specific features, branding, or workflows that off-the-shelf platforms don't support. Custom LMS development builds tailored course structures, specialized assessments, gamification features, and user experiences matching your exact training methodology.

FAQs about custom LMS development

When should we build custom instead of buying?

Build custom when off-the-shelf platforms can’t meet specific compliance requirements, lack needed integrations with enterprise systems, or don’t support unique workflows. Custom LMS is ideal for organizations with complex training needs, multiple system integrations, or features requiring extensive customization.

How long does custom LMS development take?

Timeline depends on complexity and integrations. Basic platforms take 3-6 months. Mid-complexity systems with HRIS integration require 6-9 months. Enterprise platforms with advanced features and multiple integrations need 9-12+ months. We provide detailed timelines after requirements assessment.

What's the cost of custom vs. off-the-shelf?

Custom LMS has higher upfront costs but eliminates ongoing per-user subscription fees. Off-the-shelf platforms have lower initial costs but recurring expenses increase with users and features. Custom becomes more cost-effective long-term for large organizations or those requiring extensive customization.

Can you integrate with our existing systems?

Yes. We integrate custom LMS platforms with HRIS (Workday, BambooHR), CRM (Salesforce), SSO providers (Okta, Azure AD), content libraries, video platforms, and business systems. Integration enables automated user provisioning, enrollment syncing, and unified reporting across platforms.

Do you support SCORM and content standards?

We implement SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, and xAPI (Tin Can API) standards ensuring compatibility with third-party course content. This allows importing existing training materials, tracking learner interactions, and maintaining interoperability with content authoring tools and external learning resources.

What maintenance does a custom LMS need?

Custom LMS needs security updates, feature upgrades, bug fixes, and infrastructure management. We offer support through retainers, covering monitoring, updates, user help, and system optimization. Maintenance depends on user base, features, and integrations.
