Business Challenges
1. Student visits were tracked by hand
Many schools used paper to write down when students came to visit. This made it hard to find student information when it was needed.
2. Scheduling appointments was hard
When counselors scheduled appointments by hand, it often caused problems. Students had to wait, and it was frustrating for everyone.
3. It was hard to see what students were doing
Without a system to keep track of everything, administrators had a hard time seeing when students visited what appointments they had or what they did in different parts of the school or campus.
4. Students had to wait a long time for help
The people at the front desk did not have the tools they needed to manage the line of students waiting, so the lobby was not very organized, and students had to wait even longer when it was busy.
5. Making reports took forever
It took a lot of time and work to make reports, about student visits, appointments, and how often they used services, so it was hard to get the information that was needed quickly, and Student Visits were affected by this.
Our Solutions
To help schools make student services better, we made something called Who’s Next. It is a platform that puts everything in one place. This includes when students check in, make appointments, and wait in the lobby. The people who work at the school can see everything that is going on with the students. This makes it easy for students to make appointments, check in, and talk to the people who can help them.
Centralized Student Visit Management
We keep track of every time a student comes to the school, makes an appointment, or talks to someone. This means the staff can quickly look at the records and work better with departments.
Smarter Appointments & Lobby Management
Students can make appointments online when the counselors are free. The receptionists can see who is waiting and what is going on in the lobby now. This makes things easier for both the students and the staff.
