All you need to improve engagement


Push Notifications
Connect to parents
in real-time
Push Notification message technology allows for real-time delivery of messages to individuals and groups. This technology has no transaction cost and has a number of significant benefits comparable to traditional texting, such as confirmation of delivery and reading.
The notifications can be of any size and may include photographs, documents and links.
Send From Smartphone
Authorized admins can send notifications directly from a smartphone device. Conveniently attach photos and add text directly from your device during school trips and sporting events.
Record and Re-use
A record of all previously sent notifications remains in the dashboard allowing for later reference or adaptation and re-sending to different select groups.
Schedule Notifications
Notifications can be set to reach the app at a time of your choice allowing key events such as parent/teacher meetings to be scheduled well in advance for automatic sending.
Categories and Profile
Communication and content relevant to you
On downloading the app, users are asked to select a profile. The option list for the profile is created by the school and may be edited at any time.
Categories can include classes, interest types or associated groups. These may be password protected or ‘open’ depending upon the level of security one wishes to assign.
Access365 (Family Docs)
Deliver personal content securely, instantly and directly
Publish student eReports, results, parental letters and track delivery and access.
Handling such sensitive and private information brings its own responsibilities. Parents can be assured that documents sent by the school and personal information returned by them are delivered to the highest industry security standards.


Present Documents
Present documents for viewing or printing
Documents of all kinds and sizes can be presented on the app for viewing. These may consist of prospectuses, newsletters, programmes etc. They are directly imported to the dashboard libraries and attached to chosen buttons which are set up in advance.
The same documents may be printed remotely from the smart phone device.
Document Storage
As all materials imported through the administrative dashboard are encrypted, it is a safe and secure place to simply store important documents for retrieval or reference.
Rich-text Notes
Some school information can be typed directly or copied and pasted in to a rich-text field provided within the dashboard. This is particularly useful for information that may need to be modified on a regular basis. Easily add images & links to the notes.
Metrics
Improve decision making with daily metrics
Administrators may check useful statistics on the number of device downloads and profiles that have been created.
Notification metrics show the devices reached and how many users have read each message, allowing the school to set targets for, monitor or focus on specific groups.

Privacy Controls
Giving you peace of mind on GDPR
Users may delete any personal information they wish, albeit minimal, in compliance with GDPR. The GDPR policy is clearly stated in full on every user app.
