What is an education software app?

Education software, also known as training management software or enterprise learning management, are online tools that help manage the internal processes for educational institutions and training businesses.

Education apps bring together all areas of your learning institution – from scheduling, HR and resource management to budgeting and managing your finances with direct syncs between your Xero account – to help vocational business operators run their business confidently.

What are the benefits of an education software app?

  • Better student service: Improve the flow of your learning courses and find areas of improvement to provide a better experience for students. Monitor feedback to easily make adjustments to course structure and milestones. 

  • Save time with automation: Reduce the amount of time spent manually completing tasks with learning management software automation tools. Automatically send email reminders of course dates, confirm registrations, and send out payment due date reminders.

  • Send out invoices: Send out invoices for course payments directly from Xero to students. Get automatic reconciliation upon payment and instantly sync all data between Xero and your education software. 

  • Advanced reporting: Access advanced reporting that helps you understand completion timeframes, enrolment, and profitable areas. Easily access all student data and consolidate metrics for sales and marketing efforts.

What are the typical features I can use with an education software app?

  • Student financing: Set up payment options, curriculum costs, and payment plans for students and clients. Track all changes and send automated reminders when due dates are approaching while integrating with your accounting software.

  • Learning and course management: Comfortably manage a large catalogue of training courses without missing a beat. Create new courses, update existing classes, and implement learning tracts with education software. 

  • Customer progress tracking: Keep up-to-date with your customer progress and be available for support. Find bottlenecks in course progress and send reminders to finish lessons to your customers with learner management and progress tracking. 

  • CRM record integrations: Improve sales and marketing with CRM integrations. Automatically sync your registrations with Xero and get reminders for follow ups and payment due dates.

How education software apps work with Xero

Whether you’re running an online program, school or vocational training, set your teaching up for success and efficiency when you integrate your education app with Xero. 

Working seamlessly together, you can sync important registration, payment and invoice reconciliation between platforms – so you can get back to making a difference. When you connect an education app to Xero you can: 

  • Generate invoices immediately upon registration and reconcile payments straight to your Xero account

  • Set up scheduled payment plans and reflect due incoming payments in Xero’s financial reports

  • Track the most profitable programs, classes or activities by category or specific line-by-line items
