AI-Powered, Irish-Built

Custom EdTech Software Development

Square Root Solutions offers custom edtech software development services, building software around your organisation, not a template you have to work around. We design every platform to fit how you already operate, from a single feature to a full system, built for Irish education from the ground up.

The problem with off-the-shelf EdTech software

Most EdTech software is built for the general case, and Irish schools, colleges, and training providers rarely are the general case. So organisations end up paying for features they'll never use, working around gaps the platform never covers, and adjusting their own processes to fit software that was never built with them in mind.

If you've ever tried to make an off-the-shelf platform work for your organisation, some of this will sound familiar:

You're paying for a licence that scales with every user, regardless of how much of the platform you actually use

img

Integration with your existing systems was never really designed in, just bolted on afterwards

img

Reporting doesn't match what your Board, your inspectors, or your funders actually ask for

img

Support means a ticket queue, not someone who understands how Irish education works

img

None of that is really about whether the software is good. It's about software built for somewhere else,
adjusted just enough to be sold here.

What we actually build

Our custom EdTech software development and custom EdTech platform development start with custom architecture instead of off-the-shelf limitations. That includes building new platforms and modernising existing EdTech products for companies who already sell one.

Discovery-led scoping

Every project starts with a clear picture of your actual workflow, not an assumption about what a school or training provider "typically" needs.

Bespoke platform development

Custom-built software, from a single feature to a full platform, part of our bespoke education software development, designed around your organisation rather than the other way around, whether that's custom educational software development, or custom learning platform development.

Legacy system modernisation

Rebuilding or extending systems you already rely on, so you're not forced into a full replacement just to fix what isn't working.

Compliance-ready by design

GDPR, EU AI Act, and Department of Education reporting requirements considered from the first sprint, not added at the end.

Ongoing partnership, not a handover

Support and iteration after launch, delivered through end-to-end custom EdTech product development, so the platform keeps up with your organisation as it changes.

Custom EdTech Platforms Built Around Your Needs

From multi-centre learning platforms and complex education management systems to scalable mobile and web products, we build bespoke EdTech software around the way your organisation actually works.

We rebuilt TeachKloud’s legacy system into a robust Childcare Management Platform serving 300+ schools across Europe. The platform connects management, educator, and parent apps to streamline attendance, billing, compliance, communication, and payments. We also built Educator Pal, an AI planning assistant that generates curriculum-aligned lesson plans and policies across leading frameworks.

Built for how Irish education actually operates

img

We know a training provider, a university department, and a multi-school ETB all need genuinely different things, even when they're technically buying "the same" kind of software, which is why our work draws on multi-school and multi-tenant architecture where it's needed. We start from your workflow, your compliance requirements, and your existing systems, not a product roadmap built for someone else's organisation.

That's the standard Square Root Solutions, offering Custom EdTech Software Development Services, builds to, every time.

Who this is for

Organisations who've outgrown, or never fit, an off-the-shelf platform

Schools, colleges, and training providers with a specific workflow or compliance requirement generic software doesn't cover

Established EdTech companies modernising or scaling a product they already sell

Frequently Asked Questions

Those pages describe specific platform types we build often. This page covers custom work that doesn't fit neatly into one category, a bespoke build, a legacy system rebuild, or something entirely new.

It depends on scope, but every project starts with a two-week Discovery Sprint that gives you a clear timeline and fixed-price proposal before full development begins.

Yes. That's what Discovery is for, we help define the actual problem before committing to a build, rather than assuming you already have a full spec.

It's yours. The platform, the data, and the codebase belong to you, not locked into a subscription you can't take with you.

Yes, often that's the better option. We scope that during Discovery based on what's actually worth replacing versus integrating with.

Possibly. A number of Irish and EU grant schemes support education and technology projects. We can point you toward relevant options during your Discovery Call, though eligibility and funding decisions sit with the relevant grant body, not us.

Yes. A lot of our custom work is modernising or extending EdTech products companies already sell, adding features, AI, and scale without a full rebuild.
