Smarter ways to manage your comms

Our smart workflow tools let you know when an inquiry has been handled and who has handled it. You can also easily re-route messages to the right person so your student gets the best quality interaction every time they get in touch. You can even stay in the loop on your team’s conversations while you’re on the go with our smartphone app.
