At Veracross, our vision is to unify school communities with world-class information systems that enhance the quality of education. We aim to free independent educators around the globe from the complexities of disjointed technology, allowing them to focus on what truly matters: making a meaningful impact on education.  

We listen closely to feedback from schools around the world, and our recent work with schools in Australia is a testament to our commitment to meeting the unique needs of each region. Over the past two years, we’ve significantly enhanced our already highly adaptable product, guided by continuous feedback from schools. These improvements are designed to solve data chaos and provide a unified, streamlined experience for educators, staff, and families.  

Every change we’ve made supports our commitment to delivering on our promises, ensuring that we support educators across the world in their mission to transform education. Here are some of the product enhancements and initiatives Veracross has undertaken to specifically improve the experience for our Australian schools, which exemplify our approach to listening and responding to the needs of all schools:  

Meeting the Needs of Australian Schools   

Veracross introduced the ability to take local payments in Australia for school fees and incidentals, providing our schools with a seamless and efficient way to handle transactions. By integrating local payment options, we have empowered schools to manage their finances with ease, reducing the overall administrative burden.  

Enabling payments across the entire Veracross platform simplifies financial transactions by eliminating the need for multiple systems and manual processes, creating a unified and streamlined experience for schools. Not only does this enhance accuracy and transparency, but also provides real-time insights into financial data, helping schools make informed decisions.  

Additionally, Veracross has made strides in creating a more localised product for our Australian schools. To offer a more personalised and localised experience, we adapted words and phrases to use local Australian terminology and spelling to fit local preferences for staff, teachers and families. This enhancement showcases the importance of localisation for better user experience and engagement.  

Advanced Exam Management  

As part of our broader mission to support schools in managing all aspects of their operations efficiently, Veracross has recently made dramatic enhancements to our existing exam management functionality to provide a full-featured Exams Manager module. Designed to compete with or surpass any existing exams manager product in the Australian market, Veracross Exams Manager was developed with continuous feedback from schools in Australia and the UK.   

Through Veracross Exams Manager, independent schools can streamline the process of scheduling, administering and tracking exams with robust tools for managing exam logistics and student performance. We will continue to make iterative improvements based on real-world use cases and requirements via the market, as well as feedback from our schools. This ensures that our Exams Manager module consistently addresses the specific challenges faced by schools and reflects Veracross’s dedication to delivering high-quality, effective solutions across the globe.

Did you know that Veracross has two hundred integrations and counting? Veracross partners with a variety of leading global school software providers to power all our schools’ needs. And with the most advanced open API in the industry, we offer cutting-edge, two-way connections.
