Bespoke software for education
If you can’t find a system that works the way you do, you’re in the right place.
“The systems that are supposed to support the most complex children were built around data structures, not children. We think someone should fix that.”
JUST TWO Things…
Bespoke Software
We build custom software for organisations that have not found a system to fit how they actually work.
If every tool you have tried forces you to compromise your practice, we can build something that does not
Settings we have worked with
Each setting we work with deepens our understanding of how specialist education actually operates. That knowledge compounds and over time and helps us to tackle friction and problems in new and innovative ways.
MegaTracker
The client needed a streamlined way to enter rich session logs and be able to produce individual logs for all young people, match the learning to EHCP outcomes and produce weekly reports for commissioning school(s), parents and stakeholders. This was costing the team hours every day and additional time from a senior leader to review and QA all the logs before the reports were compiled every week.
“The MegaTracker has seriously reduced workload for our team. Parents and carers, as well as stakeholders within local authorities often comment how informative the reports are. This platform is a game changer!” – Alice Anstee (Managing Member, Empshott LLP)
Transformation Strategy / Bespoke software
Contracted as CIO to deliver company wide IT transformation strategy which includes two bespoke platforms.
Canopy, which forms the operations hub for the group, will replace fragmented workflows built on Microsoft forms, lists and spreadsheets. A learner MIS which will replace their off-the-shelf MIS system that does not serve them well. Leaders will have access to live dashboards and their data will be integrated and accessible. Bespoke solutions will evolve as the Group grows.
“I cannot tell you how excited I am about the new micro apps and just how much more efficient they are going to make so many of our team’s processes.” – Charlotte (Operations Officer, The Outdoors Group)
Shine Inclusion + Bespoke development
Senior leaders needed to capture behaviour data more effectively. They already have 2 off-the-shelf MIS systems that weren’t giving them the oversight they needed. We used Shine as the foundation and built on top of it. In the first month, the school reported they were able to “analyse data more effectively and to be increasingly strategic in how we deploy both staff and resources“.
Staff adoption is high and the solution is being extended to capture learning, outcome matching and progress tracking.
“I love it! The information and overview it gives is incredible – the ideas and potential triggers or unmet needs are really thought provoking and help support in managing incidents in the future” – Staff member (Minehead First School, Beacon Education)
