Education
The administration an institution runs on.
Admissions enquiries captured and followed up, departmental budgets reviewed without rebuilding a spreadsheet, announcements staff can actually find, and campus equipment that comes back. Switch on the modules you need.
This is institutional administration, not a student information system or a learning platform. GetBizApps holds no student academic records, grades, timetables or course content. It runs admissions enquiries, the finance office, staff communication and campus equipment — the business of the institution rather than the teaching.
Why education businesses run on it
Admissions season stops leaking enquiries
The enquiry form and the follow-up live in the same system, so an application is a record with a next step rather than an email somebody meant to answer.
Budgets you can actually review
Departmental allocations tracked against real spend, with variance per account, so the finance meeting starts from a figure rather than a rebuild.
Announcements that were read
Notices published to the right departments with acknowledgement and read tracking, instead of a circular somebody has to search their inbox for.
Only the modules you run
Pricing is per add-on, per user, per term. An institute that needs admissions, finance and equipment is not paying for a procurement suite it will never open.
Admissions
Every enquiry captured the same way, then followed up.
During admissions season the constraint is rarely interest — it is keeping track of who asked what, when somebody last spoke to them, and which of them is still waiting for an answer.
The form you actually need
Twelve field types, validation, required fields and options you can reorder, so the enquiry form asks your questions rather than a generic set.
A public link, switchable
Each form gets a secure public URL you can share, with a toggle that activates or deactivates it when the intake window opens and closes.
Answers become records
Form data maps into records in the other add-ons rather than sitting in a response table, so an enquiry arrives as something with a next step.
Leads with their source
Every enquiry carries where it came from, so next year's spend follows the channels that actually produced admissions.
Stages you define
Move applicants through the stages your process really uses, so the pipeline reads as a position rather than a list of names.
Conversations on the record
Calls, meetings and scheduled follow-ups logged against the enquiry, with notes and attachments, so whoever picks it up knows what was said.
During admissions season, keeping track of enquiries is half the challenge. Using Form Builder and CRM in GetBizApps gives our team a consistent way to capture information and organise follow-ups.
The finance office
Departmental spend, against what was allocated.
Every institution runs budgets by department, and almost every one reviews them in a spreadsheet rebuilt from the ledger each month. The rebuild is the part worth deleting.
One chart of accounts
Assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenditure recorded against a structure the whole institution shares, rather than per department.
Invoices, bills and receipts
Fees charged and suppliers paid, each against the party they belong to, so an outstanding balance is a fact rather than a reconciliation exercise.
Budgets by period and type
More than one budget at a time across defined periods, covering operational, capital and cash flow, so a term and a year can both be planned.
Allocated per account
Assign specific amounts to accounts from the chart, so a budget is a set of commitments rather than a single total.
Spend tracked automatically
Budgets sync with journal entries, so what has been spent updates itself rather than being typed in before a meeting.
Variance, while it still matters
Allocated, spent and remaining per account with variance analysis and date filtering, so an overspend surfaces early enough to act on.
GetBizApps has brought more structure to our finance routine. Accounting and Budget Planner help us review departmental spending without rebuilding the same spreadsheets for every meeting.
Staff communication
Publish it once, somewhere people can find it again.
There are two different problems here and they need two different tools. An announcement is timely and needs to be seen; a procedure is permanent and needs to be findable six months later.
Notices with a visibility window
A title, rich text, attachments and a start and expiry date, so a notice stops being current the day it stops being true.
Sent to the right people
Target specific users, roles or whole departments, so staff are not filtering announcements that were never meant for them.
Critical means critical
Priority on every notice, with critical ones appearing as an instant pop-up, so the word that must not be missed is not one line in a list.
Acknowledged and tracked
A single click records that a person confirmed a notice, and read tracking turns publication into something you can report on.
Procedures in books
Related guidance grouped into a book with an owner, so the leave policy and the fire procedure are not two attachments in two inboxes.
Findable, with its files
Articles carry their supporting documents, a gallery view for browsing, and visibility settings for what stays internal.
Our staff used to search through emails for announcements and procedures. Notice Board and Internal Knowledge give us a dependable place to publish updates and keep everyday guidance accessible.
Campus equipment
Laptops and projectors that come back.
Shared equipment is lent by whoever is at the desk and chased by whoever notices it missing. A register that knows who has what, and when it was due, removes both jobs.
Registered with serial and warranty
Purchase cost, image, serial code and warranty period per unit, so identifying a laptop and knowing whether it is still covered take one lookup.
Organised by location
The register is arranged by where things live, which is what makes a termly physical count possible rather than theoretical.
Borrowed for a defined period
Assign an asset for a set window and the record carries who has it and when it is due, so lending is a transaction rather than a favour.
Availability at a glance
See what is out and what is free, so a projector is never promised to two departments for the same morning.
Overdue, flagged
When a return date passes without the item coming back, the add-on says so — chasing becomes a list rather than a memory.
Who has held what
Usage per member of staff over time, which turns a lending log into something you can act on when equipment keeps going missing.
Managing laptops, projectors, and shared equipment is easier with GetBizApps. Assets and Asset Borrow & Rent help us keep track of equipment and its borrowing arrangements.
Routine writing
A first draft, inside the form you were already filling in.
Administrative writing is high-volume and low-variance: the same notice, the same acknowledgement, the same summary, in slightly different words. Starting from a draft is most of the saving.
On the form itself
The assistant appears as a button on the forms you already use, and the generated text lands in the field rather than in another tab.
Your choice of provider
OpenAI, Claude or Gemini, with the model list following the provider, so the institution decides where its drafting happens.
Keys held by the institution
API keys are controlled on the company side, so access is an administrative decision rather than an individual one.
Length and variations
Set the output between 50 and 500 characters and ask for up to five variations, so you are choosing between drafts rather than editing one.
Fifteen or more languages
Including Arabic, Spanish, French, German and Japanese, which matters for an institution writing to families in more than one.
Reviewed before it is used
A live preview and character count show exactly what will land in the field. Nothing sends itself — a person still approves the wording.
The AI Assistant is useful for drafting administrative messages and notes within our workflow. Our team reviews the wording before using it, but starting with a draft makes routine communication easier.
The term in numbers
Reporting you stop rebuilding by hand.
The figures a governing body asks for are the same figures every term. Once admissions, finance, staff and equipment sit in one system, the report is a view rather than a rebuild.

Illustrative view — figures are examples, not customer data.
Whole-institution overview
Finance, admissions, HR and operations on one screen, so performance is read across the institution rather than department by department.
Cash position
Money in and money out with enough forward visibility to see a shortfall while there is still time to do something about it.
Fee invoices and balances
What was billed, what was received and what is outstanding, filtered by payer or by month rather than totalled by hand.
Purchase invoice report
Supplier bills, amounts paid and pending dues, filtered by vendor or month, so what falls due next is visible now.
Enquiry pipeline
Applications won, lost and ongoing with their stage and conversion rate, so an intake can be read while it is still running.
Attendance and payroll
Presence, overtime and net pay per employee, filterable by branch and department, for checking a run before it goes out.
Whichever modules you run
What holds true across the platform.
These are not add-ons you switch on. They are how the Suite behaves once any of it is running.
Switch on what you need
Every capability on this page is an add-on. Start with admissions and finance, add equipment lending when it becomes a problem, and leave the rest off.
Branch and department scoping
Records and reports filter by branch and department throughout, so a faculty head reads their own department rather than the institution total.
Approvals where they matter
Budgets move from draft through approval, so a figure is authorised before it becomes the one everybody plans against.
Audit trail with names on it
Modification history with timestamps and user attribution, and budget activity tracked against the person who performed it.
Documents with access control
Policies, contracts and supplier paperwork in folders with document types and controlled access, attached to the record they belong to.
Mobile apps
Several modules have companion mobile apps, so an equipment check or a task update does not have to wait for somebody to reach an office.
AI assistant
Drafting and summarising inside the workflow, with your team reviewing the wording before it goes anywhere.
Payments and integrations
Payment gateways, calendars, messaging and storage connect as add-ons, so the tools already in use around the campus stay in use.

FAQ
Education questions, answered.
No. GetBizApps holds no student academic records, grades, timetables or course content. It covers institutional administration — admissions enquiries and follow-up, accounting and departmental budgets, staff announcements and internal knowledge, campus equipment and its lending, and reporting across them. It runs alongside whatever SIS or learning platform you use.
Yes. Form Builder produces the intake form with the fields and validation you specify and a public link you can switch off when the window closes; submissions map into CRM records carrying their source, stage, follow-ups and notes, so an enquiry arrives as something with a next step rather than as a row in a response table.
Yes. Budget Planner allocates specific amounts to accounts from the chart of accounts, across defined periods, covering operational, capital and cash flow budgets. Spend syncs from journal entries automatically and variance analysis shows allocated, spent and remaining per account.
Yes. Notices target users, roles or departments, carry a priority with critical ones shown as an instant pop-up, and record acknowledgements with a single click. Unread notices carry a New badge and opening one marks it read, so publication comes with reporting.
Pricing is per add-on, per user and per term, so it depends on which modules you switch on and how many staff use them. An institute running admissions, accounting and equipment pays for those rather than for a full suite licence.
