Experience
We are passionate about our solutions. We let you feel the .
The introduction of the ParentPay payment system has simplified many things at our school. Cashless processing makes payment more hygienic and also faster. The addition of the ATM was a great relief. By inserting cash, students can easily top up their account.
Billing school meals in combination with subsidies from the education and participation package is a major challenge. Thanks to ParentPay’s managed service, we were able to outsource this process completely. ParentPay takes care of the entire billing, checks funding applications and ensures that all requirements are met. This not only saves us an enormous amount of time, but also ensures legal certainty and transparency.
Zweibrücken-Land Municipal Administration, Mr. Kilian
With ParentPay, we have not only optimized the payment and billing process, but also significantly improved our purchasing planning. As all food orders are processed centrally via the system, we know exactly what quantities are required. This helps us to avoid surpluses and make purchasing more efficient. The software is a real benefit, not only for billing, but also for our entire logistics.
