Software for institutions and edtech platforms that cannot crack on exam day.
Education software fails visibly. Login storms at 9 a.m., exam systems timing out, gradebooks that lose data, LMS integrations that break every summer. We build education platforms that survive peak load, regulatory audits and the chaos of a real academic calendar.
What actually breaks in this space.
LMS, SIS and assessment not talking to each other
Three different systems, three different source-of-truth claims, and a registrar who maintains the real student list in a spreadsheet.
Exam tech that cracks under load
Everything is fine in UAT. On the actual exam day, 40,000 students hit the login page at 9 a.m. sharp and the platform folds.
Regulatory and privacy ambiguity
Student data flowing between vendors with nobody owning GDPR, FERPA or local data residency posture.
EdTech products stuck at pilot scale
Works beautifully in one district. Onboarding the second district takes six months of integration work that nobody priced in.
Capabilities we bring to this industry.
LMS and course platforms
Custom LMS builds or deep integrations with Moodle, Canvas or commercial systems. Content, delivery, grading and analytics as one surface.
Student information systems
Student lifecycle, enrollment, fees, attendance and credential management engineered for multi-campus and multi-program institutions.
Online assessment and exam tech
Secure proctoring, question banks, adaptive testing and high-load exam delivery with evidence of fairness and integrity.
Privacy and compliance
GDPR, FERPA, COPPA and local data residency engineered into the platform, not added at audit.
Learning analytics
Student performance, at-risk signals and course effectiveness wired to instructor and administrator workflows.
SIS to LMS to finance integration
Event-driven integration between enrollment, learning, assessment and fees. One student record, not six copies.
Measured, not modeled.
Shapes these engagements usually take.
SIS modernization across a multi-campus university
Decomposed a legacy SIS into modular services for enrollment, attendance, grading and finance across four campuses.
Scalable exam platform for 50,000 concurrent candidates
Auto-scaling exam delivery with live proctoring, offline-resilient exam clients and full audit trail.
LMS and Moodle integration with finance
Single sign-on, unified gradebook and automated fee unlock for course access.
Tools and technologies we reach for here.
Common questions
- What education software does FictiveBox build?
- LMS and course platforms, student information systems, online assessment and exam technology, privacy and compliance work, learning analytics, and integration between SIS, LMS and finance.
- What makes education software fail?
- It fails visibly and on a schedule: login storms at the start of the day, exam systems timing out under concurrent load, gradebooks losing data, and LMS integrations breaking between academic years. Peak load and the academic calendar are the design constraints, not an afterthought.
- What should an institution prepare before an integration project?
- A clear picture of which system is the source of truth for students, enrolments and grades, the integration points between SIS, LMS, assessment and finance, and the privacy obligations that apply. Most of the difficulty in these projects is agreeing the source of truth, not the code.
- Which technologies and standards are supported?
- TypeScript, Next.js, Postgres, Redis, Kubernetes, CloudFront and Kafka, with LTI 1.3 and OAuth/OIDC for learning tool and identity integration.
