Core Features
Zeffer allows schools to operate securely, access all required data quickly and organise structures neatly. Here is why Zeffer is such a powerful tool for any school.
Headless Architecture
The headless architecture design allows services to scale independently, meaning each section can evolve without effecting the performance of the software as a whole.
Integrations
Zeffer can seamlessly connect to multiple external systems.
This allows for real-time data synchronisation, automated imports, and secure data exchanges between systems.
Data Warehouse
Zeffer uses a centralised data warehouse to bring together data from multiple systems into one environment.
This allows for consistent reporting, better analytics, historical insights, as well as better, more accurate forecasting going forward.
Permissions
Set granular, role-based permissions for users, and define user access at every level.
This gives you better control over the entire platform and ensure everyone has correct permissions, and no one can overreach.
Audits
The comprehensive auditing and logging framework captures all user action data in real-time.
This means you have a transparent, full history for each individual user.
Azure
Zeffer is built on Microsoft Azure, giving it the benefits of scalability, security, and high performance.
Harness the power of AI
AI Forecasting
Zeffer uses an AI-powered forecasting feature to let schools build custom scenarios that can better inform business decisions. Let the system work out best-case and worst-case outcomes to better plan for the future.
With unlimited scenarios, users aren’t constrained with forecasting options, and re-use scenarios to refine their forecast.
The simple UI is based on the Microsoft Excel format, making for easy-to-read scenarios that can be quickly edited and adjusted for preference.
Each scenario can also be shared quickly with other users to add comments on elements, even down to the line-level.
One the system is set up, it requires minimal maintenance, and adjusting assumptions is a fast and easy process.
Import valuable data
Datasets
Forecasting software is only as good as the data that it is given, and Zeffer allows users to synch data from multiple sources, to give you the most accurate and detailed forecasting possible.
Bring accounting data from your financial system, salary and pension data from your HR software, student numbers from your MIS system, or even import data from other external sources.
Handles groups of schools easily
School Groups
Zeffer is also designed to handle complex school groups and even international schools with ease.
The software can handle multiple currencies with unlimited decimal precision. The software allows for custom horizontal or vertical scenarios to be rolled up into clear summarised forecasts.
Whatever your requirements as a group of schools, or international schools, Zeffer can accommodate.
