The Opportunity
Helping Schools Get Smarter
It’s no secret that our K-12 schools. teachers and administrators need all the support that they can get.
Connected technology can help by reducing the administrative overhead that comes with managing a classroom, a school, or a district. With the right tools, school districts are finding success in automating the redundant, manual processes that can draw attention — and funds — away from helping students succeed in the classroom.
Pennsylvania-based Touchpoint Industries was founded in 2015 specifically to support school district IT and HR personnel with the crucial task of time collection. Touchpoint’s advanced people management systems are now deployed across the United States, ensuring simple, reliable, affordable time tracking for everyone who contributes to the educational mission, from teachers and administrators to maintenance professionals and support staff.
Touchpoint’s contactless time clocks, self-operating kiosks, and plug-and-play DIY solutions make it dramatically easier for school districts to reliably and safely track time and attendance data for all employees. Touchpoint frees up time and resources from IT, human resources, and other administrative functions, helping schools to more easily and reliably track hours for every role to simplify basic payroll processing and ensure compliance with state-level guidelines and requirements.
“Our device is always working, with staff clocking in and out 24/7,” says Seth Hartman, Director of Operations and Facilities at Touchpoint. “When school staff use it, they know it’s going to work.”
