Product Details

Overview

Informed K12 is a workflow automation platform built for school-district business, human resources, payroll, student-services, and administrative processes. It converts forms, approvals, supporting documents, and follow-up work into structured digital workflows that connect central-office departments with school sites.

The platform sits alongside a district's ERP, HRIS, SIS, and other systems of record rather than replacing them. It helps districts standardize routing, validate submitted information, track status, maintain audit trails, reduce duplicate entry, and give staff visibility into processes such as supplemental pay, reimbursements, onboarding, personnel actions, purchasing, and student services.

Features
District workflow design
  • Digitizes forms and approval paths that reflect district roles, budget codes, schools, and business rules.
  • Supports changes to processes without requiring districts to build a custom application.
Forms and data collection
  • Collects required information and supporting documents from staff, families, and other participants.
  • Uses validation and structured fields to reduce incomplete or inconsistent submissions.
Routing and accountability
  • Routes work to the appropriate reviewers and approvers and shows where each item is waiting.
  • Maintains notifications, timestamps, status history, and audit evidence.
System connections
  • Uses APIs and configured integrations to exchange data with ERP, HRIS, SIS, payroll, and related systems.
  • Reduces rekeying by pulling source information into workflows and returning approved results.
Implementation support
  • Includes process mapping, configuration, rollout, and adoption support for district teams.
  • Provides dashboards that help departments monitor workload, exceptions, and completion.
Support Options
  • Email
  • Web
