The academic field has been transformed by technology. The EdTech sector is increasingly strengthened by new tools and solutions, both software and hardware, that have introduced new ways of educating and teaching in classrooms. Software as a Service (SaaS) has become a great ally for schools and studios seeking to take a step forward and improve not only how they teach but also how they streamline internal processes such as attendance tracking, report generation, class planning, and more. Learn what an EdTech SaaS is and what advantages it can offer your school.

EdTech SaaS: What it is and what it's for

Before defining what an EdTech SaaS is, it’s helpful to clarify what SaaS itself means. A Software as a Service (SaaS) is a software solution hosted in the cloud, with its management (updates, improvements, feature development, etc.) handled by the provider.

On the other hand, EdTech refers to the Educational Technology sector (EdTech: Education Technology), which encompasses all types of applications, tools, software, and hardware specifically designed both for students’ learning processes and for school management tasks like class planning, student payment tracking, teacher and student attendance recording, report generation, and more.

We previously published an article about EdTech and the most notable innovations in this sector. Here’s the post in case you'd like to read it: EdTech: Where education is headed in the digital world.

Kydemy, for example, is an EdTech SaaS. Its management software is hosted in the cloud and allows schools, studios, teachers, students, and their families to access it (via web platform or mobile app) through the internet. Its software is specifically designed for this type of educational business, developing features and applications tailored to their needs and requirements.

As we’ve mentioned before, technological advancement is a fact, and moving toward digitalization is the strategy to remain competitive in the market, stay ahead, and optimize overall business management. Whether it’s an ERP, CRM, or specialized SaaS, innovation has shown that businesses evolve along with how we interact with our customers.

Benefits of using an EdTech SaaS for your school

User experience, school management, internal process control, and planning are some of the key advantages an EdTech SaaS can offer your school.

In fact, here’s an article about 10 benefits of implementing a CRM for schools.

In this article, we’ll explore the more general advantages of an EdTech SaaS, like Kydemy, so you can better understand how this type of software solution can benefit your school:

Cloud-based ☁️

Cloud-hosted software is the perfect solution for schools and studios. In Kydemy’s case, its management software is cloud-based, which means it’s accessible 24/7 for administrators, teachers, students, and families—while offering powerful features at affordable prices.

Adaptable and scalable 📈

This type of software can adapt to the size of any school. Whether you have 15 or 200 students, Kydemy’s SaaS adjusts perfectly, providing the functionalities you need at that moment. And as your school grows, the platform grows with it.

SaaS platforms have a development structure that allows them to scale without losing functionality, data, or performance—while keeping costs low.

Seamless integration 🤝🏼

EdTech SaaS platforms integrate easily with other tools or applications. For example, Kydemy integrates seamlessly with payment platforms like PayPal or Stripe for online payments. Similarly, classes or events scheduled within the platform can be added to Google or Apple calendars with just one click.

Continuous updates and improvements ⚙️

Your school can forget about this step—Kydemy takes care of ensuring everything runs perfectly!

As mentioned earlier, Software as a Service is managed by the provider. What does this mean? That every new development or improvement is their responsibility.

In the case of Kydemy and other SaaS platforms, updates and improvements are carried out regularly by the development team to deliver a complete, secure, and reliable solution.

Conclusion

An EdTech SaaS is a technological solution designed for schools and educational centers. At Kydemy, we provide software developed specifically for schools and studios, mainly in the arts sector. That’s why it includes features, tools, and applications that address the needs and processes of these types of schools, aiming to streamline daily management, achieve comprehensive business control, and support growth.
