Built for universities, alliances and modern learning ecosystems
Turn academic chaos into one clear platform.
eCampus by !404 brings courses, events, calendars, recommendations and role-based focus modes into one intuitive dashboard. Instead of forcing students and staff through fragmented portals, it gives them one place that finally feels coherent.

Who this is for
Built for universities, alliances and multi-source academic ecosystems.
eCampus is designed for institutions where information comes from multiple portals and data sources that can overlap, complement each other or even conflict. It brings those streams into one consistent workflow and adapts what users see based on role, context and relevance.

Why this product exists
Students do not need more portals. They need one place that actually works.
Universities often expect users to navigate multiple systems for courses, events, calendars, communication and alliance-wide offerings. eCampus replaces that fragmented experience with a modular dashboard that can unify and personalize what matters most.
The reality today
1
Scattered information
Courses, alliance offers, deadlines and events live in different systems with different logic.
2
Too much noise
Dual-role and international users drown in information that is technically available but not relevant.
3
Low discoverability
Opportunities are missed because nobody has time to actively search every platform every week.
“Instead of asking users to adapt to institutional complexity, we designed a platform that adapts the institution to the user.”
The product combines modular widgets, smart filtering, a unified calendar, cross-source course discovery, personalized event recommendations and role-based focus modes into one elegant interface.
Core capabilities
Made for real academic workflows, centered on focus.
Our main USP is role-based focus: users only see what matters for their current context. The filtering works globally across the full platform and locally inside each widget.
Modular widget system
Each widget has its own logic, so modules can be structured exactly as needed for each institution and use case. This also makes it easy to add new widgets in the future.
Unified academic calendar
Merge courses, registered events and relevant holidays into one overview so scheduling finally becomes less painful.
Role-based focus modes
Global and widget-level filtering surface only relevant information for each role, reducing overload for complex roles like PhD students who often learn and teach at the same time.
Smart recommendations
Surface events, courses and opportunities that match the user’s current role, interest and academic context.
Cross-source course discovery
Aggregate local and alliance-wide offerings in one searchable interface instead of asking users to browse each source manually.
Scalable integration model
Start with a focused rollout and expand later as more systems, institutions or services are connected.
Pricing concept
Affordable enough to start. Strong enough to stay.
How we price
Transparent scaling model
Pricing starts at €49k/year and scales with support level, integration complexity and rollout scope.
- User volume is not a pricing driver in our model
- Custom feature requests can be submitted at any time
- Requests are prioritized in our roadmap by impact, urgency and product fit
- Cost-sharing is possible when multiple partners request the same feature
- Cost-sharing also applies when a feature strongly aligns with our core roadmap
This keeps planning predictable while still leaving room for institution-specific needs.

- Events, course overview and unified calendar
- Role-based focus mode configuration
- Personalized recommendations
- Support, onboarding and iterative optimization
Fragmented systems are not a niche problem; they are the reality in almost every modern academic institution. We solve this by creating one coherent experience across disconnected tools, data sources and workflows.
Institutions can use eCampus as their main platform, or keep their existing core systems and let us integrate them behind one unified interface. The infrastructure in the background can stay as it is while the user experience becomes simple, consistent and role-aware.
We are flexible by design. Early partners can shape upcoming pipeline features and align the product roadmap closely with their own institutional needs.
Voices from the field
What pilot partners say
“For the first time, our alliance offering feels visible instead of hidden behind several disconnected pages.”
“The focus mode is exactly what our PhD users needed. It removes clutter without removing control.”
“We expected a dashboard. What we got was a much better entry point into the academic ecosystem.”
The people behind it
Five perspectives. One product vision.
We are all students ourselves, so we know the daily struggle with fragmented systems, conflicting information and the stress that comes from jumping between too many platforms.
Coming from four different countries and diverse academic backgrounds, we built !404 to bring things together: systems, information and people.
