Smart, Lean Operations
Running a school efficiently and cost effectively is no different than it is for a profit oriented business. Unfortunately, many schools are behind the business world when it comes to using technology to manage and scale their operations. If your school still relies on paper and manual processes to handle registrations, student records and events, Owlwise can help you save time and money.
If you still collect payments by check or cash, Owlwise will allow you to go electronic for billings and collections.
This means faster cash flows, reduced NSF’s and higher security.
Busy parents don’t like paper forms and writing checks. Successful schools that use Owlwise develop a reputation that they really care about parents and that they are forward thinking about using technology.
The average cost to process a paper payment ranges from $5 to $15 – and that does not include the costs and inconvenience incurred by parents. Owlwise can cut that by 60% or more. Studies also show that schools that set-up preauthorized debit and recurring credit card payments enjoy lower attrition.
Owlwise can save a school $500 to $1000+ per month by moving to electronic payments.
Start accepting online credit card and direct debit (EFT, ACH) payments. Set-up pre-authorized payments and recurring payments for tuition and other fees. Tools to track payments and outstanding balances and automated receipts.
Online permission forms for field trips and other events. Convenient electronic approvals and payments. Real time tracking of participant attendance and fees collected. Never chase paper permission slips and checks again.
Paper registration forms are inefficient and frustrating for parents. If you need to re-enter the information, you double the work and risk making entry errors. Owlwise has an online registration tool that’s easy to setup and embed onto your website. Allow parents to directly enter and update their information themselves.
Secure electronic student records with detailed student, parent and emergency contact information. Quick access to important medical and allergy information. Printable student forms. Upload and store student documents.
