CommunityUse
Online Facility Use Calendaring System
CommunityUse is a powerful online facility use calendaring system that manages the facility use requirements of community organizations.
CommunityUse streamlines the process of managing your facility use program from event request and risk assessment, to invoicing and payment.
In addition to greatly simplifying the facility usage request process and improving relations with community groups, CommunityUse allows members of community organizations to register online, and accept conditions of use – reducing data entry by district personnel.

"The process of scheduling our facilities was very time intensive. SchoolDude's facilities scheduling solution allows me to give requesting community groups an answer within minutes. The district now has a real-time calendar of events, and we have solved our problem of double booking. With SchoolDude, the solution automatically notifies everyone of their responsibilities and the community groups' needs."

Client Success
Spokane Public Schools (Spokane, Washington)
"We needed a better way to view what was happening in different school locations, opposed to manually flipping through calendars. FSDirect helped us improve our customer service, while also providing as much community use as possible in a timely manner. Today it takes five minutes because we can simply look at the facility scheduling calendar for the entire district, all available spaces, and view them all online in real-time."
