| NEW INTEGRATIONS TO LOOK FOR IN 2019-2020! |
|
Here are some great new integrations to consider for the new school year:
#1 - Scheduled Payments in FDpay In
August, we will introduce our Schedule Payment service which will
include a space for parents to select a payment schedule option and a
space for admin to view, edit, and lock payment schedules. If you have
not signed up with PACE please contact HelpDesk as soon as possible so
we can answer any of your questions and get you started with online
payments!
#2 - ZINGapps This new
integration is with ZINGapps and delivers our FastDirect SIS services
inside their app for iPhone and Android users. This synergy will give
our schools the convenience of FastDirect within the school app, plus
added features such as online sign-up forms and more! They are a great
resource for church and school websites too! The cost for ZINGapps and
websites will be the same as direct purchase. Visit Zing Apps website for details on their service.
#3 - CONCIERGEpad We
are building a new partnership with CONCIERGEpad for secure school
sign-in of students, volunteers, visitors plus extended care students.
The cost will be the same as direct purchase, plus we will provide
level 1 HelpDesk support and software integration with our SIS
services. You can find more information here.
