Home-to-school tech provider Kura is the first of its kind to integrate its software with Wonde, a school data and integration solution used by over 20,000 UK schools.
Kura says the integration “will simplify the implementation and onboarding of schools using Kura, with WOnde providing a live link between their chosen Management Information Systems (MIS) provider and the Kura app database”.
Schools will no longer need to download the data from their MIS system and upload to Kura, which will help data stay up-to-date.
“I am excited at another first for Kura and the prospect of reduced admin for schools and increased accuracy, resulting in an improved customer experience,” says Shaun Gabriel, Chief Technology Officer at Kura. “Following principles of lean, this is about reducing wastage in the pursuit of perfection. Parents and students can now expect a much better, more streamlined experience, as can schools.”
Addss Jon Coleman, COO at Wonde: “Wonde understands the importance of accurate, timely data especially when it comes to providing support and continuity in the provision of travel to and from schools.
“Kura’s ability to offer a streamlined service that reduces the administrative impact for schools while enhancing the student and parent experience is an exciting step forward.
“Wonde is delighted to be able to support Kura with the implementation of these improvements.”
Wonde integrates with MIS providers including SIMS, iSAMS, Arbor and Furlong. Schools using these services can grant Kura access via Wonde to tie up with parent/guardian and student data while maintaining full control of the master data source.
Data only has to be maintained in the school’s MIS system, with Wonde providing automatic sync of data every 24hrs.
