“We need to modernise”
When Kai Engelhardt took over as managing director, the school was running on inefficient systems, and modernising was one of the first things on his list. Parents enrolled through an online form, but staff then re-typed everything into another system by hand.
The school chose Classe365 for two reasons Kai gives on camera: a comprehensive tool that covers the whole journey from onboarding to alumni, and the people behind it. One of its first big steps was linking the bookkeeping system to Classe365, and the language school now sells its courses through the Classe365 e-commerce shop.
Before
“The parents enrolled via an online form, but we had to transfer all the data in person to another system. So there were a lot of mistakes, of course, and it was quite time-consuming.”
After
“And now it’s so easy, because all the data is on one platform.”
How they use it
Finance, e-commerce and self-serve lists
-
“It meant that we were going to move away from really manual work on our bookkeeping side to an automated system.”
Kai Engelhardt, Managing Director -
“The customer can really only choose a course, then he can directly pay with the credit card and with the enrolment. So we get all the data in one click.”
Susanne Brück, Director, Language School at the German School of Geneva -
“You don’t need to go to the secretary office to ask for a list. You can just open your laptop, you can open Classe365, and you can download your own Excel sheet.”
Anna Löbmann, Coordination, Board & Management
“Yeah, look, it’s all about relationships in life. You know, you feel that the vibe is right with Classe365 from day one.”
