Schnappy\'s solution is innovative and unique, we have focused on maximising the features to make it an invaluable tool to parents which also helps to improve parental engagement with your school or nursery.
\n\nThis holistic approach coupled with the ease of use for parents means Schnappy fits in with their daily lives in a way that\'s easy for them to manage.
Good communication is what Schnappy is all about! The powerful messaging functionality is the perfect way for a school and the parents to communicate with one another. The school administrators can send unlimited push notifications instantly to any individual, a bespoke group, staff members, parents of children in a club, or people booked for an event and even the entire school. Any parent with Schnappy is able reply or send messages to the school free of charge.
Events contains a summary of all of the upcoming school events for parents and children such as sports day, school plays, day or residential trips and so on. Each event can be expanded to reveal more detail. When a booking for an event is made by a parent it will place an entry in their reminders and if any payment and/or consent is required they will be notified.
Contacting the school to notify them of an absent child through Schnappy is quick, simple and eliminates the bother of making a phone call. Parents just open the absence page, add a brief reason for the absence, the date of the absence and then hit submit. The absence note is then sent in the form of a message straight to the school administrator.
It can be tricky for parents to find out the school\'s term dates quickly and accurately. They normally have to source the information from the school website, contact a fellow parent or resort to contacting the school office. That\'s why we\'ve added a quick link to the app that gives them instant access to the school calendar.
Perfect for higher ticket items like school trips and outstanding payments. When enabled by the school, parents can choose to put these payments into Flexi Pay mode where they can pay by instalments for as little, or as much as they want until the full amount has been reached.
Schnappy makes sending small or large amounts for anything and everything fast, simple and secure. There is no requirement for a parent to set up an account or transfer funds via online banking, our secure payment system accepts all major debit and credit cards and processes payments straight into the schools bank account, with two-step biometric security.
It\'s so frustrating to forget about an event you wanted to attend or to be reminded at the very last minute! When a parent selects an event or they make a booking for parents evening, the reminders area is populated. Schnappy will notify you 24 hours in advance of the booking, we\'ll also remind you subtlely with a red badge number 72 hours in advance.
When a parent wants to check if any of their children have homework this page will show all the details you would expect such as what it is, when it was set and when it\'s due.
The Schnappy wallet enables parents to pre-pay allowing them to easily budget their school payments and for making frequent payments without having to enter their card details every time. Another advantage of using the wallet is there are no minimum payment restrictions, meaning it can be used for micropayments from as little as 1p with just one click!
Parents can view and select all of the available Breakfast and After School Clubs in the term, they can also select any snacks for these sessions (if available). Once these requests are approved by the school Schnappy calculates the cost of the sessions and notifies the parent to direct them to their payments page.
Parents can scroll through all of the clubs being run by their school and view each item in summary or open it to reveal more detail such as their timings, availability and costings. If they want to register their child for a club, a request is sent to the school and once approved, a notification and any required payment request will be automatically sent to their app.
When the school administrators add an upcoming parents evening to Schnappy, all the relevant parents are notified and directed to make an appointment by booking an available time slot. The appointment time they book is then automatically recorded by the school and an entry is placed in the parent\'s reminders.
When a parent selects an event for their child that requires permission, the consent page is then automatically populated where the parent can go to provide their consent. Once consent is given the button is then disabled so they are unable to reverse their decision through the app and would need to message the school.
A common feature of smartphones is biometric security. Once face or fingerprint ID is enabled by the parent they can easily log into Schnappy without having to enter their password every time. Schnappy also uses this functionality for processing payments more securely.
If required, each parent can register their own Schnappy app and link their shared children. By doing this they can select events, clubs and make payments for the same items (including Flexi Pay), but they also have a seperate wallet, messaging and booking system.

\nThis is a snapshot of just some of the things Schnappy will do to completely transform your back office and save many hours of administration, freeing up your staff and enabling them to concentrate on more important tasks.
From the dashboard, you can see and manage all incoming and outgoing payments, send and receive messages, manage clubs and events, produce reports, view absences and more. You decide what you want to see and quickly get a snapshot of what\'s happening at the school and take immediate action.
\nThis easy to use dashboard can be accessed securely through a browser on any desktop computer, tablet or phone allowing staff to get things done in the office or remotely. The dashboard also allows the school to restrict access to confidential areas dependent on the staff members role, e.g. the school finances.
Managing the school\'s finances through the Schnappy dashboard gives full and instant control. Payments have been designed to make life much easier for the school by streamlining the entire process and giving the school the ability to manage everything in one place.
\nYou can collect money for everything and anything quickly and securely, and any identify incoming and overdue payments at a glance. The dashboard can also send bespoke ad-hoc requests for payment to any individual, which will appear in the payments section of that recipient\'s app.
\nThere\'s also no need for parents to set up an account or transfer funds via online banking, our secure payment system accepts all major debit and credit cards and processes payments straight into the schools account without the need for any third-party merchant systems. Schnappy can also accept payments through the dashboard for people paying in person and over the telephone.
Schnappy collates all the data and statistics in the database and offers a range of bespoke reports. These powerful reports are easy to use and they can be filtered by the columns in combination with the search function to drill down into precise areas.
They include reports on absences, payment receipts, outstanding payments, wallet usage, parents evenings, events, school trips and clubs. Just run the reports via the dashboard to view them on the screen instantly, or export them for your records by using the handy print to PDF button.
\n\nWe are always adding and tweaking the reports to ensure you can get to the data you need, if you find there is something you need that we don\'t currently have, just let us know and we\'ll add it to the system.
The school can instantly send direct messages to any recipient they need to. Individual parents, a group for a club, a classroom, year group, entire school or even an event like a residential trip. The recipients receive a push notification directly to their phone or tablet and unlike SMS, push notifications are completely unlimited and free of charge.
\n\nSending messages out to defined groups is useful in many ways, for instance, if a club is cancelled the school can inform the parents instantly by sending a notification to that group without having to look up numbers and contact everyone individually. Another scenario might be the transport returning from a school trip that has been delayed and the office is closed, staff on the trip can log in on a mobile device and send updates out to the trip group to keep everyone informed.
When an event is added to the Schnappy the office can select whether or not consent is required for a child to attend. When a parent selects an event for their child that requires consent they are directed to the consent page on their app.
\n\nThe office can view a summary of all children signed up for an event and see whether or not they have consent, and to send out any reminders where required.
\n\nThat’s it! the end of fiddling around with scraps of paper and spreadsheets or having to chase the children/parents for consent forms.
The management of clubs is often a time-consuming process for the administration team. Usually, there are various criteria when allocating club places not to mention the management of payments after the bookings are made.
\n\nSchnappy streamlines this entire process for all clubs running at the school including breakfast and after school clubs, and makes the whole process incredibly simple and easy to manage.
\n\nUsing our unique booking system, parents can register their child for any clubs available using their app. The office will see a summary of all of the club requests as they come in and can approve or deny them based on their criteria, once approved the parent is automatically notified and a payment request (if applicable) is instantly sent.
Another process for the office that can be difficult to manage, especially due to last-minute changes and requests for specific time slots.
\n\nSchnappy handles parents evenings in a simple, efficient way through the dashboard. Select the class, the date/s, the length of time for each appointment slot, adding breaks where applicable and lastly set the time/date to publish. Once published, a table is created and all parents with children in those classes will receive a notification informing them of the upcoming parents evening inviting them to reserve their slot within the app.
\n\nThe administrators can see in real-time the parent\'s name against the time slot they have reserved on the table. They can also make any adjustments manually to the appointment bookings as and when required and print off the list.
\n\nThe parents that have reserved the appointment through the app will automatically have an entry added to their app reminders where they\'ll be notified.
