TeachKloud Case Study

Europe’s preeminent nursery management software. Reduced 60% of paperwork for teachers so that they can truly focus on the main aspect - child’s learning! 📚

An app for educators to focus on what they love! Saved 60% time in admin & compliance!

Prior to engaging Impero, TeachKloud was operating a hosted platform for over 300+ schools which required modernisation. Impero were very quick to work with us to get a deep understanding of our business and challenges. We are now live with our new system which is awesome. They are not just an outsource development company, but an extension of our company!

Problem statement

The early childhood care and education sector has always been drowned in excessive paperwork, communication struggles with parents, and repetitive administrative tasks.

This challenging reality was also faced by Wendy Oke, founder of TeachKloud and a distinguished Ph.D. graduate in early childhood education and care. However, unwilling to settle for the norm, she believed technology could simplify & transform this sector for all.

The beginning of Teachkloud

With this passion, Wendy set out to create a ground-breaking solution that would streamline the daily tasks, cut down on paperwork, and assist caregivers, educators and parents better! But things don’t always turn out to be how we plan them! 😕

Old version of TeachKloud - Here’s how it looked like before we took over

Before we came into the picture, TeachKloud was a platform that had more bugs and downtime than helpful features! Poor user experience, regular crashes and mediocre functionalities were costing Wendy and her team, their precious customers.

But then finally, she made a switch and trusted us with her powerful idea!

The birth of future-proof TeachKloud platform

This is how TeachKloud looks and works now! Effortlessly engaging, seamlessly efficient and beautifully fast. That’s the Square Root magic! ✨

So what Exactly is TeachKloud?

With 4 rich interfaces (admin, institute, teacher, parent), 1000+ screens, and its functionality-rich software, TeachKloud simplifies the lives of early childhood education service providers by managing all of their paperwork and daily tasks on one unified robust platform.

The platform automates administrative procedures such as attendance tracking, staff scheduling and invoicing, while also offering advanced features such as teaching plans, learning journals, policies, accident forms, consent forms, detailed risk assessments, and much more.

So, goodbye to time-consuming administrative tasks and compliance struggles, and hello to an intuitive and user-friendly platform that saves money, streamlines workload, and allows for more time for the children in care.

Challenges we faced

Complex Childcare Operations

Navigating diverse childcare procedures due to age differences, activities, and regional policies. Extensive research was done to understand processes and regulations for adaptable software alignment.

Ensuring Data Security

TeachKloud handles sensitive data of children and families. To safeguard against leaks and unauthorised access, rigorous security measures and protocols were implemented to ensure data privacy and protection.

The Daunting Deadline

One of our lengthiest projects with 1200+ screens needed completion within a tight, unbelievable timeframe of only 3 months! This demanded meticulous planning, resource allocation, and efficient project management.

Driving User Adoption

Achieving widespread adoption was essential for TeachKloud's success. Our team designed easy-to-use software that catered to childcare providers, staff, and parents.

Meeting Regulatory Requirements

Complying with regional regulations and childcare standards was a pivotal challenge. The software was meticulously developed to align with specific regulations and ensure providers' adherence to legal requirements.

What we did: Features at a glance

Improved Communication

We incorporated advanced communication features, including the ability to share instant messages, images, videos, and documents, all in real-time. This allowed staff members to share detailed information about children's activities with parents, right from their eating habits to their overall social behaviour.

Enhanced Child Safety

We included accident recording software that provides a paperless solution for care providers to efficiently document any incidents. In addition, parents can be notified instantly and asked for medical permissions, which allows for quick responses in case of emergencies.

Streamlined Compliance

We made all the compliance requirements accessible in one central location, from accident forms and safety policies to consent forms and risk assessments, making it easier than ever to stay organised and compliant.

Saved Time & Resources

We power-packed TeachKloud with time-saving features. Helpful functionalities such as attendance tracking, learning journals, child observations, invoicing, and payment collection, enable care providers to save up to 2 admin hours every day.

Ensured Personalisation

We crafted an incredibly flexible platform that can be tailored to meet specific requirements. We built an interface that empowered staff members to easily map their paperwork and tasks to meet their unique workflows, schedules and child needs.
