Project Overview

At School Today is a Canadian EdTech startup providing an all-in-one school management software and a learning management platform. It simplifies school administration, unifies online school payment systems, and enhances school-to-family communication. The platform offers a one-stop shop for permission management, payments, attendance, and parent engagement, which allows teachers to teach and minimizes everyday admin tasks.

The Challenges

When At School Today approached Solicy, they understood a fundamental truth: educators should spend their time teaching, not wrestling with paperwork. They needed more than just another school management platform - they wanted to create the ultimate learning management platform that would transform how schools operate, engage parents, and modernize educational administration. They needed a comprehensive school information management system that combined student management, online payment automation, and educational administration into a single intuitive platform.

Excessive Paperwork in School Administration

Staff spent excessive time distributing, collecting, and tracking paper-based approvals.

Inefficient Fee Collection Without an Online School Payment System

Managing payments was slow, fragmented, and prone to errors.

Limited Parent–Teacher Communication in Learning Management Platforms

Important messages were delayed or missed due to a lack of a unified communication channel.

Manual, Time-Consuming Educational Administration Processes

Daily administrative tasks required repetitive, inefficient manual work.

Data Security Risks in Student Management Systems

Paper and offline systems posed risks to data privacy and financial security

Our solution

We built a centralized school management software solution — combining a learning management platform, student information system, and secure online school payment system into one EdTech product.

Learning Automation for Administrative Efficiency

Our digital EdTech solution offers learning automation features and smarter workflow processes, including:

  • Digital permission forms with auto-fill and e-signature capabilities
  • Integrated online school payment systems
  • Automated attendance tracking with paper-free check-ins and check-outs
  • Homework management tools
  • School event calendar and planning features

Unified Communication Platform for Parents, Teachers, and Students

We bridged the communication gap with an integrated school communication system that enabled:

  • Two-way messaging among parents, teachers, and school staff
  • Real-time alerts and push notifications for forms, events, messages, and grades
  • Homework sharing
  • Newsletter creation and distribution
  • Multi-language communication to serve diverse school communities

Secure and Scalable Online School Payment System

We implemented a secure, scalable online school payment system, allowing:

  • Multi-channel and secure school payment processing (bank transfers, credit/debit cards, etc.)
  • Real-time transaction tracking, auto-invoicing & reminders
  • Auto invoice generation and payment reminders
  • Detailed financial reporting and clear views of outstanding vs. completed payments
