Why teams switch

SaaS LMS pricing rose 11.4% last year alone.

Some vendors raised fees over 300% following private-equity acquisitions. Here's what L&D teams keep running into.

01

The per-seat tax

Every new hire raises your bill. At £5/user/month, 10,000 employees is £600,000 a year — forever. A platform you own costs a fraction of that over five years, no matter how much you grow.

80–90% lower 5-yr TCO at scale
02

Vendor lock-in

Data stored in proprietary formats is hard to export, creating switching costs and compliance headaches. Your training records should be yours to keep.

Full data portability, always
03

Integration dead-ends

Connecting SaaS to Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, or your HRIS usually needs costly middleware — or simply isn't available on your tier.

Native HRIS connectors included
04

Data residency & security

Renting SaaS means your HR and training data lives wherever the vendor decides. Owning your platform means you choose where data is hosted and how it's secured — for SOC 2 reviews or GDPR alike.

Your data, your region, your controls
05

No white-labeling

Most SaaS platforms charge extra for custom domains and full white-label. Some prohibit it entirely below enterprise tiers.

Fully branded, fully yours
06

Low completion rates

Off-the-shelf UX produces sub-30% course completion. A platform tailored to your workflows and branding gets 70–90% — the difference between a checkbox and real training.

Designed for your people, not everyone's

Sector expertise

Different sectors. Different blockers.

We've solved compliance, integration, and cost challenges for the organizations that depend on them most.

Compliance Training

Compliance training that's audit-ready.

Financial firms carry a heavy training-compliance load, and every requirement leaves a paper trail an examiner needs to see. We build reporting engines that produce audit-ready records automatically — on a platform you own, with no per-seat fees as you hire.

Unified infrastructure

An LMS that functions as an extension of your business systems.

Most agencies build LMS sites in isolation. We build them as integrated system modules. Because we come from a deep custom software and ERP integration background, we ensure your training records speak directly to your other databases.
