InmersiónUK reached out to ThoughtLogik through referrals to develop a centralized system for managing their student records and applications. The organization was facing challenges due to their reliance on multiple Excel spreadsheets and email communication, which created inefficiencies, data inconsistencies, and difficulties in tracking and accessing critical information.
Key challenges included:
Manual processes: Relying on spreadsheets and emails to manage student applications, vendor information, and other critical records led to errors, duplication, and inefficiency.
Lack of automation: InmersiónUK needed a way to send online application forms to students and parents, eliminating the need for manual data entry.
Fragmented data storage: The information related to vendors and contacts was scattered across various platforms, making it difficult to maintain an organised, up-to-date database.
Communication inefficiencies: Managing communication primarily through emails resulted in missed updates and delayed responses, impacting the overall student experience.
