Moodle works with the rest of your stack.
How we build
Production-grade.
Not Zapier in a trench coat.
Every Moodle integration we ship handles failure properly: idempotent jobs, retry logic, dead-letter queues for unrecoverable cases, and observability so you can see exactly where data is at any moment.
Tested
Real test suite, real edge cases. Not just "it worked once."
Observable
You see what is happening — events logged, errors surfaced.
Maintainable
Documented, version-controlled, handed over properly.

FAQ
Common questions about Moodle integration.
Does Moodle integrate with student management systems?
Yes — Moodle has standard integration patterns with major Australian SMS platforms. We build the bespoke integration layer where the defaults don't fit specific RTO workflows.
Should we self-host Moodle or use a cloud provider?
Depends on data residency, cost, and team capacity. Self-hosted gives full control; cloud-hosted is simpler. We can advise honestly on the trade-off.
