Serving businesses in Bedford, Massachusetts
Our system syncs with Bedford Public Schools’ existing bell schedule and MCAS testing windows, eliminating manual entry errors that cost Massachusetts districts $2.3M annually in compliance fines. Teachers scan QR codes on tablets instead of filling out paper sheets, cutting attendance time from 15 minutes per class to under 2 minutes.
Parents get instant alerts via SMS or app when a child is marked absent or tardy, reducing front-office calls by 70%. The system integrates directly with Bedford’s emergency notification system, so weather delays and early dismissals flow through automatically without staff intervention.
Teachers can weight assignments differently for MCAS prep weeks versus regular instruction, with automatic export to the state’s reporting portal. The system flags students at risk of falling below the 240 MCAS threshold in ELA or math before it becomes a problem, not after.
Unlike commercial systems that charge per student or require annual licenses, we built a usage-based model where Bedford schools only pay for active features. If a school doesn’t need the lunch count module during summer break, the cost drops to zero until it’s reactivated in August.
A clear process, no surprises.
We interview every stakeholder group, not just administrators but the staff who deal with the system daily. For Bedford, that meant talking to the food service manager about lunch counts, the transportation coordinator about bus route tracking, and teachers about gradebook pain points. The output isn’t a requirements document; it’s a prioritized list of problems to solve, ranked by impact and effort.
We build clickable prototypes in Figma that Bedford staff can test before we write code. For the attendance module, we tested three different input methods with teachers, QR codes, NFC badges, and manual entry, before settling on the QR approach because it cut input time by 82%. The prototype became the spec; no one had to imagine how the system would work because they’d already used it.
We don’t build a single monolith that tries to do everything. Each module, attendance, gradebook, parent portal, exists as a standalone service that communicates via REST API. If Bedford decides to add a transportation module later, it plugs in without disrupting the existing system. We use a microservices architecture on the backend but present it as a unified interface to users.
We don’t do generic QA. For Bedford Public Schools, we loaded a full year of historical attendance and grade data into the new system, then ran parallel tests for 30 days. When discrepancies appeared, we fixed them before go-live rather than after. The result was zero data migration errors on launch day, something that happens less than 5% of the time with off-the-shelf systems.
Our support model is built for Massachusetts schools’ budget cycles. We offer a 12-month retainer that includes unlimited minor updates, priority bug fixes, and quarterly check-ins to review feature requests. If Bedford needs a change during MCAS season, we treat it as urgent. If it’s a summer request for a minor tweak, we schedule it for the next maintenance window. No hourly surprises, no unexpected invoices.
