Automated Workflow for School District Administration

For school districts,  accuracy and accountability are critical when managing administrative processes. Every day, districts deal with a tremendous amount of paperwork, rules, and regulations. Using paper forms and manual processes like email not only slows down critical processes but make it much more difficult to:

• Maintain standards and internal audit controls

• Efficiently comply with regulations

• Effectively manage project/maintenance

• Manage the vendor selection/approval process

• Manage requests from teachers, students, parents, staff, advocates, and the community

• Track process progress

• Track and summarize requests that needed to route through multiple departments before approval

• Eliminate redundancies and consolidate internal services

• Standardize staff hiring and onboarding

By automating the workflow around things like staff hiring, funding proposals, vendor management, capital expenditure requests, maintenance and operational requests, etc. manual processes disappear, leading to dramatic efficiency in districts and schools.

Nutrient Workflow is Highly Customizable and System Agnostic

Every educational institution maintains a portfolio of applications that help get things done: Accounting, CRM, MRM, ERP, etc. Each of these enterprise applications does what it does extremely well. However, there is always work that needs to get done across multiple departments and/or systems. There are internal processes that are platform agnostic and, instead, look at the organization itself as the platform.

Implementing a workflow automation system that can talk to these existing applications and pass information between them ensures that processes aren’t stymied by chokepoints between systems. Nutrient Workflow can be the “glue” that holds your disparate systems together.
