"Parent calling regarding today's absence. Follow-up required for attendance team."

Your phone system should work with your school systems — not sit alongside them.

Give staff the information they need when a call arrives and reduce the amount of manual administration after the conversation.

Integration is available with leading school MIS and CRM platforms, with functionality dependent on the platform and configuration.
