Built for Every Stakeholder in Your School

The Challenge

You’re managing multiple communication tools, activity registration spreadsheets, separate SMS services, and disconnected parent portals. Costs are high, data is duplicated, and staff complain about complexity.

Operational Efficiency

Replace 5+ subscriptions with one platform. Eliminate duplicate data entry with SIS sync.

Financial Benefits

No per-email pricing. Activity registration with online payments improves cash flow. Push notifications reduce SMS costs.

Parent Satisfaction

24/7 portal access, mobile apps, online registration and payments, and digital forms eliminate paper and delays.

Strategic Oversight

Activity participation analytics, communication effectiveness tracking, and parent engagement metrics.

The Challenge

You need a platform that integrates with existing SIS, is secure, doesn’t require constant support, and scales across multiple campuses. You’re tired of evaluating point solutions that don’t talk to each other.

Proven Integrations

Direct integration with Synergetic, TASS, Edumate, Sentral, Wonde, and Canvas LMS. SAML SSO for enterprise authentication.

Enterprise Security

SAML 2.0, role-based access control, secure file storage, SSL/TLS encryption, and all hosted locally.

Minimal Support Burden

Intuitive interfaces reduce help desk tickets. Automated workflows and SIS sync prevent data issues.

Multi-Campus Support

Campus-specific data segregation, permissions, communications, and centralised administration with unified reporting.

The Challenge

You need professional newsletter design without hiring a designer. You want email analytics to improve engagement. You’re tired of exporting lists from your SIS to upload to MailChimp.

Professional Email Marketing

Drag-and-drop email and newsletter editor with template library. Automatic list sync from SIS - no more manual exports.

Advanced Segmentation

Dynamic mailing lists with complex filtering by year groups, houses, activities, and custom fields.

Multi-Channel Delivery

Email campaigns, SMS messaging, and mobile app push notifications from one platform.

Cost Savings

Unlimited campaigns and contacts. Replace MailChimp and Constant Contact subscriptions entirely.

The Challenge

You need to mark rolls, submit newsletter articles, apply for PD, and send permission slips to parents. But you don’t have time to learn complex systems.

Mobile Roll Marking

Mark attendance from your phone at the field, pool, or music room. Automated reminders for missing rolls.

Newsletter Contributions

Submit articles online with simple forms. Track your submission status through the editorial workflow.

PD Applications

Submit PD requests online, track approvals in real-time, and log CPD hours automatically.

Simple Interfaces

Designed for occasional users, not IT experts. Mobile-friendly with minimal training required.

What Parents Experience

Parents carry your school in their pocket. 24/7 access to information, online services, and transparent communication — all through the mobile app or portal.

QR Code Login

Instant access without typing passwords. Security without friction on any device.

Everything in One Place

Timetables, academic reports, activity schedules, newsletters, and school calendar — always up to date.

Online Services

Register for activities, pay fees, submit permission slips digitally, and update contact information.

Multi-Child Convenience

Switch between children easily. See all information in one place with family-level forms.

One Platform Replaces Many

Stop paying for disconnected tools. PortalHQ replaces multiple subscriptions while integrating seamlessly with systems you keep.
