For schools

Keep your school system. We fix the gaps around it.

Admissions, parent communication, billing and the everyday office work that falls between systems. We build the missing pieces around the tools your school already uses.

The school office, today

Where the school day gets stuck.

Small office teams carry a lot of daily admin. Most of it happens between systems.

  1. 01

    Admissions across inboxes

    Inquiries, tours and applications tracked in email threads and spreadsheets.

  2. 02

    Parent messages in too many places

    Updates go out by email, text and paper, and families still miss them.

  3. 03

    Tuition that needs chasing

    Payment reminders and billing questions take time away from students and staff.

  4. 04

    The same details typed twice

    Student and family information re-entered in more than one system.

What we build for schools

Useful tools around
the system you have.

We start with the school information system you already use, not a replacement for it.

Admissions & enrollment

Inquiry forms, tour booking and application tracking that land in one place.

Parent communication

Announcements, reminders and replies that families actually see.

Tuition & payment reminders

Clear invoices and automatic reminders, with fewer awkward follow-ups.

Forms & permission slips

Collect signatures and information without the paper chase.

Connections between tools

Help your school system, forms and messaging tools share information.

Office automation

Take repetitive steps, like follow-up emails and weekly reports, off the list.

Our own school software

CedarBell, for daycares and preschools.

Check-in with staff confirmation, attendance, family messages, forms and tuition in one installable web app. We built it ourselves, so we know the school day from the inside.

Student data

Handled carefully, agreed up front.

Before we build anything, we agree what data the project needs, who can access it, and how it will be stored and protected. We only ask for the information the work needs.

How we handle data
Good questions

Before we talk.

A few things you might be wondering.

Do I have to replace the software I already use?

Usually, no. We start with the tools you already have and build the missing pieces around them. If something needs to change, we explain why before you commit.

How long does a project take?

The timeline depends on the scope and the tools involved. After discovery, you get a clear plan, milestones, and a delivery timeline before work begins.

How do you handle student and customer data?

We agree what data the project needs, who can access it, and how it will be stored and protected before building. Ask us about the requirements specific to your school or business.

What does it cost?

Every project is fixed-scope and quoted after a free call. You will know what is included before work starts.
