The company from Belgium has developed an application to facilitate communication from schools to parents. It is not a social network : parents have no possibility to dialogue. They receive messages from the school and in certain circumstances they are asked to answer or to choose an answer. Messages are available on laptops or mobile phones. One great thing is that the messages received can be translated in a number of languages: very useful for parents who do not speak the school language. The price for the school is low (about 4 euros/year for every student).
The app could be re-designed to suit hospitals needs not ready at that time).
The school app is already used by 220 schools in Wallonia (Belgium), connected to 45.000 parents. The company is now looking for developing on foreign markets through licence agreements that could be transformed later into joint ventures.
Advantages & innovations
Communication from the school to the parents is easy, fast and paperless. No post charge is needed. Translation system (for the parents) is powerfull.
Stage of development
Already on the market
Partner sought
The company is looking for a licensee to develop the use of the application in his country, by visiting shools and administrations regulating schools. If the partner is solid and ambitious, a joint venture can be considered. No need for a technical expert, but pedagogical sense to coach the schools/hospitals when starting or demonstrating.
