SchoolDude

“I like SchoolDude’s ITDirect because it’s easily accessible from anywhere and doesn’t require any individual machine setup or configuration. It allows us to track multiple support instances across multiple technicians. Bottom line is that we have less downtime, better tracking and more reliable service across our district.”

"After hearing that the software program we had been using for five years would no longer be supported, we decided to start searching for a replacement that could possibly expand the capabilities that everyone within the school division had come to expect. After many presentations and demonstrations of their products and discussions with other school divisions currently using their software, we decided to go with SchoolDude. The fact that their software is web-based and can be updated at any time, that their support staff truly believes in client satisfaction, and that their products were developed for educational institutions with input from professionals in maintenance departments, helped make our decision an easy one."

“SchoolDude’s UtilityDirect system is giving us an extremely easy and very affordable way to measure and track all of our utility data. We currently have over 1,800 meters in our system. SchoolDude manages the system – and all of the data loading – on a monthly basis at a cost that we cannot do with our own staff. After our first year of loading our utility data and building our baseline, I believe this good, reliable information will allow us to save $500,000 next year on our utilities. I highly recommend SchoolDude’s UtilityDirect to every school system.”

“SchoolDude has helped us quickly accomplish our goals to improve communication with requesters and to implement a workflow within and among service areas. With everything considered (time to implement, affordability, ease of use, system management), SchoolDude was the most affordable and easiest to implement solution we found.”

"MaintenanceDirect has proven to be a cost effective tool, which is easily structured to perform as a turnkey operation within the school department. A majority of our staff was not computer literate, and at first hesitant to use this system. But within one month, the entire school system was online processing work with little or no effort. When questions do arise, your support staff has been impressive with the response time and quality of information. We here in Waltham have found this effective instrument to also help motivate staff, both on the receiving and request side of the work order management system. One side feels their requests are being met and are able to track their work within their building. The other side feels they are receiving credit for work that in the past may have been overlooked or not appreciated. Thanks for your assistance in motivating our troops and giving us a platform to track our staff’s great work performance.”

"We have been using SchoolDude's services for several years and have been very pleased with their products. We have used CMMS for more than 15 years, and this has been the fastest, easiest to use system to date. We were up and running within a couple of hours after accessing the site. The SchoolDude people have always been very helpful, and the online training sessions have been a great help. The flexibility and power of the system enables us to retrieve information and compile reports quickly and easily."

"The district had been utilizing the ACT 1000 work order system for six years. I thought that it was the best program out there; then we discovered SchoolDude. Man was I wrong! MaintenanceDirect is 100-percent more user-friendly than ACT. If for some reason we do need help with MaintenanceDirect, we can either speak to someone online or call them directly. The technical support help response is awesomeၠthey work with you to fix the problem quickly. Also, unlike ACT, with SchoolDude you can format your information to make reports based on your needs. Once you have the information, you can then make the report or format a graph for a presentation. We are very impressed with what we have seen so far; for us SchoolDude has been a great change.”

“SchoolDude has brought a higher level of organization and accountability to Wentworth Institute's Physical Plant department and increased our functionality in dealing with the increase in demand from our customer base. My ability to do my job well hinges directly upon the help I have received over the years from your staff. I have a great sense of inclusion with a wonderful organization. Keep up the good work and maintain the friendly manner that makes the company unique.”
