Groups and international schools

One solution to support complex groups and international schools

From day one, the forecasting module has been designed to meet the needs of complex school groups and international schools, covering essential areas such as data hierarchies, permissions, multi-currency support and decimal precision.

Scenario consolidation

Custom horizontal and vertical groupings roll scenarios up into clear, summarised forecasts for users at every level, with built-in permissions, sharing and collaboration.

Multi-currency

Scenarios support multiple currencies with unlimited decimal precision. Schools and sub-groups define their own exchange rates or use centrally managed group rates.

Multilingual

The Zeffer interface is fully multilingual, enabling schools in different regions to use the platform in their preferred language. Any language data can be reported on.

Central permissions

Every action is fully audited, ensuring all inputs and access requests are recorded. Permissions are centrally managed at any level of the group or individual hierarchy.
