Building Modern Koha — the next generation of intelligent library technology
AI · Cloud · RFID · Robotics · Automation
Koha Solutions is building Modern Koha — a scalable, AI-powered library technology platform that combines Koha Cloud with artificial intelligence, RFID, robotics, and modern automation to transform traditional libraries into intelligent, automated environments.
Our goal is to modernize Koha beyond traditional library management software by integrating emerging technologies directly into everyday library operations.
The platform is already operating in production with 20+ libraries, backed by about three years of development and operational experience. We are building on this foundation to expand Modern Koha to libraries and educational institutions globally.
Free tools for anyone who runs Koha, built from the problems we solve for libraries every day. Each one is tested on a real Koha before it is released, and its README shows the output it really gives.
| Tool | What it does | Status |
|---|---|---|
| koha-api-client | Call the Koha REST API from the command line or Python; the token is handled for you | In progress |
| koha-opac-snippets | Tested copy-paste OPACUserCSS / OPACUserJS customisations, with screenshots |
Planned |
| koha-install | One command installs Koha on Ubuntu or Debian | Planned |
| koha-health-check | Diagnose a broken Koha server and get the fix for each problem | Planned |
| koha-sql-reports | 18 SQL reports, each run through Koha's own report engine; columns checked on Koha 23.11–26.05 | ✅ Released |
| koha-backup | Scheduled backups with a restore you have actually tested | Planned |
| koha-notice-templates | Clean, mobile-friendly overdue, hold and welcome notices | Planned |
| koha-csv-to-marc | Turn a spreadsheet of books into a file Koha imports | Planned |
