Manual work or broken automation? Neither
You're figuring out how to make your LMS more flexible, but every option has a catch
Zapier works…until it doesn’t
It can't handle complex business logic, gets costly as you scale, and breaks every time your current LMS updates its API. You need something built to last.
Your LMS vendor won't help
Ask for a custom integration, and you'll hear "not on our roadmap." Then you wait months (or years) with zero control over when (or if) it gets built.
Most developers don’t get it
They don't understand SCORM, xAPI, or LTI. Timelines stretch, budgets balloon, and you end up managing the project yourself. Or rebuilding everything from scratch.

Why teams trust Academy Smart with LMS integrations
500+ LMS implementations
…across corporate training, certification, and regulated industries. We’ve seen the edge cases, the messy data, and know how to deal with them.
LearnUpon Professional Partner
We work with the platform’s APIs. That means faster delivery and integrations that don’t break when the platform updates.
Pre-built LMS foundation
Common flows like user sync, access rules, and reporting are already solved, so we can focus on what’s specific to your business.
15 years of
LMS expertise
We’ve been building LMS solutions since 2009. We know how learning systems behave with real users and data.
4-8 weeks on average. Simple projects (like syncing users from your HR system to your LMS) move faster. Complex ones (connecting multiple systems with custom business rules) take longer.
Most integration projects cost between €5,000 and €10,000. What affects the price:
- How many systems you’re connecting
- How complex your business rules are
- Whether your systems have clean APIs or need workarounds
After we understand what you need, we’ll give you a final price.
Not if we build it right. And we do. We use your LMS’s official APIs, which are to stay stable when the platform updates.
We’ve worked with all kinds of LMS platforms: modern SaaS tools, custom builds, even legacy systems from 20 years ago. Here’s what we can work with:
- Official APIs (the easiest option)
- Webhooks for real-time syncing
- Direct database access (for custom systems)
- Scheduled batch imports (for older systems)
During our first call, we’ll figure out the best approach for your specific setup.
Yes, if your system has a database, an API, or any way to get data in and out programmatically, we can connect it. We’ll figure out the technical details during discovery and design the cleanest approach possible.
Not much. You’ll need one internal product owner (often L&D, HR Ops, or IT) to confirm business rules and sign off on decisions.
Here’s what we typically need:
- Pre-sale/discovery: a walkthrough of your LMS + connected systems, current setup, and constraints
- During development: test/staging access and the right credentials (or an IT contact who can provide them)
- At launch: production approval and a quick go-live checklist
We handle the technical work. Your product owner provides the logic (e.g., “new sales hires get Course A, engineers get Course B”) and validates that it matches how your organization actually works.
We stick around to make sure everything works. We fix any bugs in our integration, give you complete documentation, and are available for questions as you get up to speed. We also do a handover: a walkthrough of the integration, business rules, and “what to check if X happens,” so your team can confidently own it.
After that, you can hire us for ongoing monitoring and support. Or your team can manage it using our documentation. Most clients run things themselves after the first month or two.
Yes. Messy data causes integration problems, so we always check it during discovery. Common issues we help fix:
- Duplicate user accounts
- Departments named differently in different systems
- Missing information that the integration needs
- Old data that shouldn’t migrate
Absolutely. Lots of our clients need multi-system integrations. A typical example: Someone gets hired in BambooHR → They’re automatically added to your LMS → Their training completions flow to Power BI.
We’ll map out the entire data flow and make sure everything stays in sync.
Small changes happen on every project, and we handle them as part of the work. Changes we typically handle:
- “Actually, managers need different courses than we first said”
- “Can we add one more data field to the sync?”
Changes that need a new quote:
- “We want to integrate a third system we didn’t mention”
- “We need to completely change the business logic”
We keep things flexible, but major changes need a clear conversation about timeline and cost.
Yes. You get:
- All the custom code we write
- Complete documentation
- The ability to modify it yourself or hire someone else to maintain it
You’re free to expand it, change it, or hand it off to another developer. It’s yours.
