The problem
Running your school on a patchwork of apps is quietly costing you 12+ hours every week
Generic software was not built for lesson volume, parent expectations, or state paperwork. You end up as the integration layer between tools that will never share one timeline.
Decorative illustration: separate business apps scattered to suggest disconnected tools and manual work between them.
