Imagine teachers, school leaders, administrators, parents, and students all working together in one seamless system. At the heart of Zunia’s robust ecosystem is its unique community data model, designed to serve as the single source of truth that is used to capture the flow of data across all school operations.

 

Each student, staff member, parent, and wider community member has a single core record at the heart of Zunia – with a persistent single user ID for life and full mapping of their relationships within the school community. All modules and workflows in Zunia draw on and update this record – delivering a true single source of truth. Each record is created automatically when a person first interacts with the school and stays with them for life as they change their roles in the school from waiting list to student, alumni, parent and even staff member..

How does it work?

Zunia’s community data model fixes the common problem of fragmented information by consolidating personal and family details, health and medical information, classes, timetables, learning progress, attendance, and wellbeing data into one cohesive system.

 

For example, when marking attendance, teachers no longer need to manually collate absence notifications; instead, the absences are directly added to the roll. This automated data integration not only saves time but also enhances the accuracy and efficiency of school operations.

 

Furthermore, Zunia’s automated fees, billing, invoicing, and payment capabilities handle complex family payment arrangements effortlessly, thanks to its comprehensive relationship mapping. By combining this unique data model with integrated learning and wellbeing data and an API-first design, Zunia provides schools with a powerful, next-generation software platform.
