Now in beta · up to 3 months free

Your service desk is seventeen tabs deep.

MDM here. Student records there. Ticketing somewhere else. Loans in a spreadsheet nobody owns.

One console. Everything in it.

Loans, repairs, ticketing, devices, identity, stock and costs, on a single pane of glass.

Wired to what you already run.

Connectors reach your MDM, student system, ticketing and directory. Swap any of them without touching the desk.

Everything the desk does

Everything your IT team needs, in one place

Every module is optional, so you turn features on or off for each campus, team or role. Switch one off and it is genuinely gone, enforced on the server rather than hidden from the menu.

Connector catalogue

Plug in the tools you already run

Connectors across every category an education IT team touches. Student systems differ from country to country, so if yours is not here yet we will build it for you, free.

We connect your systems for you, at no cost

Running an MDM, SIS or ticketing tool we have not listed yet, or one specific to your country? Tell us what you use and we will build the integration and wire it in for free. Moving from another platform? We will handle the migration too.

Three audiences, one platform

A portal for everyone who touches the desk

Each portal is fully customisable per institution. Show exactly what each audience should see, in your own branding, with your own wording.

Technicians

Full console

  • Dashboard, loans, repairs and tickets
  • Stock, costs, device handout and printers
  • Client and device search, disposals
  • Admin: users, roles, connectors, branding
Students & staff

Client self-service

  • Lodge and track repairs
  • Request loans, see assigned devices
  • View history and any charges
  • Kiosk mode with card-tap login
Parents

Read-only visibility

  • Their child's device or devices and status
  • Repair and loan progress
  • Charges, with consent recorded
  • Visibility you control, down to the field
Secure by default

Built for education data, not bolted on after

Protecting student and staff data is the default here. Isolation is enforced at the data layer, so every institution's information stays its own.

Two ways to run it

Hosted by us, or run it yourself

One platform, two ways to deploy, anywhere in the world. Your data lives in the country you choose, or on your own hardware. No lock-in, ever.

Hosted SaaS Managed

  • Your own subdomain or a custom domain
  • Fully managed, automatically scaled
  • Backups, monitoring and upgrades handled for you
Per-institution branding
Each school in its own colours, logo and enabled modules.
Hosted in your region
Pick the country your data lives in and it stays there.
Still reaches your on-prem systems
A connector agent bridges to AD, a local SIS or printers, with no open ports.

Self-hosted Your infra

  • Signed installers for Windows and Linux. No Docker required
  • Your data stays on your infrastructure, end to end
  • Built-in TLS/HTTPS, no extra reverse proxy
Nothing to pre-install
A portable bundle carries its own database. Unzip and start.
Runs as a service, patches itself
Installs properly, serves HTTPS, backs up before each update.
No lock-in
Move to hosted later, or never. It is your call.
Live demo

Click around the real thing

Not a video, not a mockup: a running Plugboard with fictional students, devices and repairs. Lodge a job, issue a loan, run the assistant. Nothing to install, no sign-up.
