Key Challenges
Textbook Management
Late book deliveries and learners and educators starting off the academic year without textbooks.
Support Issues
Educators and staff had a heavy support burden towards learners and parents.
Book Purchase Administration
Staff overburdened with admin related to securing the correct books required. They faced pricing inconsistencies and incorrect book assignments.
Too many platforms
The multitude of platforms and logons created confusion and led to low adoption and increased support queries.
Expanding to include stationery

- Families order both digital textbooks and stationery in a single, streamlined process.
