The ULLAV Platform
One connected system
Every ULLAV product is built on the same Core Platform — sharing authentication, deployment infrastructure, and integration patterns. Your team logs in once and works across tools without friction, without custom wiring, and without a growing maintenance burden.
Explore the PlatformThe Platform
One connected system for the entire lifecycle
Every ULLAV product is built on the same core — sharing authentication, deployment infrastructure, and integration patterns without extra wiring.
Core Platform
User management, SSO, RBAC, Kubernetes-native deployment, and API management
Platform Services
Comad (Digital Asset Manager) and Obair (Workflow Engine)
Products
Clann, Togra and Cartlann — purpose-built on the same infrastructure
Core Platform
What every product inherits
The Core Platform is the foundation that every ULLAV product is built on. These capabilities come with every deployment — no integration work, no separate configuration.
User Management & SSO
One user database, one login, across every product. The Ullav User Management service issues signed JWTs used by all services — your team authenticates once and moves freely between tools.
RBAC & Access Control
Role-based access control is consistent across every product. Define roles at the platform level and they apply everywhere — no per-product permission systems to maintain.
Kubernetes-Native Deployment
Every product ships as a Docker image with a Helm chart. Deploy to any Kubernetes cluster — cloud, hybrid, or on-premises. Sensitive configuration is managed via Kubernetes secrets, never baked into images.
REST APIs Throughout
Every capability in every product is available via a documented REST API, with OpenAPI schemas and Swagger UI. Build integrations, custom dashboards, or automated workflows on top of any part of the platform.
Multi-language Interface
All user-facing products support English, Irish (Gaeilge), and German via next-intl. Teams operating across language regions use the platform in their preferred language without customisation.
Data Sovereignty Options
On-premises, cloud, and hybrid deployments are all supported. Institutions with strict data sovereignty or network isolation requirements can run the full platform within their own infrastructure.
Platform Services
The middleware every product relies on
Comad and Obair are more than standalone products — they are the shared service layer consumed by Clann, Togra, and Cartlann, and used directly by institutions in their own right.
Digital Asset Manager
Comad
The shared asset layer for the entire platform. Store, organise, and deliver images, video, audio, and documents with rich metadata, full-text search, and IIIF-compliant delivery. Accessible from every other product without tab-switching.
- IIIF & Dublin Core
- AI-assisted discovery
- ZIP batch import
- In-browser image editor
- Rights & availability controls
Advanced Workflow Engine
Obair
The workflow engine that powers structured work across the platform. Model processes as visual directed graphs — mixing human tasks, automated steps, and AI decision nodes — with full auditability and MCP integration.
- Visual process designer
- Human + automated tasks
- AI decision nodes via MCP
- Transactional automation
- Kubernetes-scale execution
Products
Purpose-built for cultural work
Each product is built for a specific domain — and each one runs on the same Core Platform, with Comad and Obair available as shared services from day one.
Family History & Genealogy
Clann
A graph-native family history platform for individuals, families, and cultural institutions. Interactive family trees, AI-assisted research, census record integration, and a built-in media library — all on the shared platform.
- Interactive family tree
- AI research assistant
- 1926 Irish Census integration
- GEDCOM import & export
- Comad media library
Project Management
Togra
Project planning built on Obair's workflow engine — where people drive the work. Sprint boards with per-member swimlanes, story-level workflow tracking, a free-form ideas canvas, and direct access to the Comad asset library.
- Sprint board + swimlanes
- Story workflows via Obair
- Ideas Board canvas
- Comad asset integration
- People in Charge — not AI gatekeepers
Collection Management
Cartlann
Spectrum-compatible collection management for museums, archives, and heritage organisations. Accession, location tracking, condition monitoring, conservation records, loans management, and a public-facing browse portal.
- Spectrum & LIDO aligned
- Accession & number schemes
- Location & movement tracking
- Condition & conservation records
- Public portal + label printing
The Difference
No integration tax
Traditional toolchains make you wire everything together yourself. Connect the DAM. Configure the SSO provider. Build the webhook to the workflow tool. Maintain the integration when something changes.
In the ULLAV Platform, these connections are already there. Comad assets are available in Togra, Clann, and Cartlann from day one. Obair workflows can drive operations in any product. Authentication works everywhere with one login. The platform handles the plumbing so your team can focus on the work.
