Configure your unique application process

Whether it’s for Universal Pre-K, Child Care, or Subsidy, our configurable software allows your team to design the applicant’s and reviewer’s experience.

  • Automatically determine eligibility

    Design your application to automatically determine eligibility. Ease the stress of uncertainty for parents and reduce the number of applications your team has to process.

  • Remove placement process bias

    Through the click of a button, our algorithm can automatically place children in available care based on predetermined weighted factors that can be customized by you.

  • Make your team more efficient

    By collecting documents upfront, scoring and prioritizing applications, and automatically determining eligibility, our platform makes it easy to review thousands of applications quickly and effectively.

Module details

Streamlined application process

Families only have to answer household-related questions (e.g. size, income, etc.) once and are only required to submit one application for multiple children.

Save family profile data for future applications

Reduce the amount of time it takes for families to apply for high-quality care. Saving information to the family’s profile makes it easy for them to apply for additional children or program years.

Require documentation before submission

Documents can be made mandatory or optional as part of the application process. If they are mandatory, users will be prompted to upload documentation before they can submit an application.

Automatically prioritize applications

Using a unique formula for each program, the module can score and prioritize grant applications based on applicant responses. This helps teams assess and fund those most in need.

Instant message applicants

Reviewers can chat directly with an applicant for more information while reviewing their application. Additionally, automated updates keep applicants informed about the status of their application.

Tag applications for easier indexing

During the review process, administrators can tag applications (e.g. Duplicate or Missing Documents) to quickly organize and group applications, making it easier for users to find and collaborate on them.
