University systems that
students actually use.

We build course marketplaces, student portals, club management systems, and custom platforms for Australian universities. Modern technology, clean UX, and none of the legacy pain.

The university tech problem

Most university digital infrastructure is held together with duct tape. Legacy systems that don't talk to each other. Procurement processes that take longer than building the actual thing. Vendors who disappear after launch.

We've seen it from the inside. Here's what we hear from every university we talk to:

What we build for universities

Course Marketplaces

Short courses, professional development, micro-credentials. A beautiful discovery experience with search, filtering, enrolment, and payment processing. Integrated with your existing student management systems.

Student Portals

A single place for students to manage courses, clubs, events, and communications. Mobile-first, fast, and designed to reduce support tickets, not create them.

Club & Society Management

Online stores for merchandise, event management, membership tracking, and financial reporting. We built this for RMIT and it's now handling multiple student organisations.

Custom Integrations

SSO with your identity provider. Data sync with your student management system. Payment processing through your approved gateway. We work within your security and procurement requirements.

Why universities choose Sonder

We understand procurement. We've been through the process. We know how to write proposals, navigate committees, and deliver within institutional constraints.

We build to own. Everything we build, you own. No licensing fees, no vendor lock-in, no surprise bills. Your platform, your code, your data.

We're small enough to care. You'll work directly with the founder and senior engineer. Not a sales team who hands you to a junior developer after the contract is signed.

We ship platforms that scale. Built for thousands of concurrent users, because orientation week doesn't care about your server capacity.

The shared development model

Here's something most vendors won't offer: we're building a university platform that can be shared across institutions. RMIT benefits from features funded by other universities, and vice versa. Development costs are distributed, but each institution gets a customised deployment.

Think of it as the best of both worlds: custom enough to meet your specific needs, but with a development velocity that no single-university budget could match.
