What We Do
We help school district administrators operate efficiently and gain insight into their most critical school business processes.
Still today, most school districts have hundreds of mission critical processes that run on paper, making visibility and improvement near impossible. We transform paperwork from a daily stumbling block to a strategic tool. This makes it possible to hire the right teachers faster, make sure students have a way to get to school, ensure teachers get reimbursed and paid on time, and a lot more.
We are powering the future of school district operations by helping district administrators drive the systemic change needed to improve productivity, accountability and equity.
