    Building classes is easy and straightforward. Clicking on accounts and seeing age, address, account details all organized and clearly laid out is great

    I would recommend Slate, by Technolutions for any higher education institution, big or small. Though there is a higher cost associated with Slate than most other options, it's well worth the price. The level of detail that you're able to gather, maintain, and query on within your student data is far beyond anything I've experienced with other systems. These insights help you pinpoint areas for action and improvement so that you can pivot when necessary, helping you reach your enrollment goals quicker and more efficiently.

    Pros
    Amilia
    • Being able to import programs so you don't have to start from scratch
    • Dividing class builds into different categories: registration periods, forms, session, drop-ins, etc. Makes editing easy!
    • Super user friendly. Taking attendance on the app is quick and easy!

    Cons
    Amilia
    • I don't like how you have to reload everything when changing from the registration tab to the edit tab. For example, if you are looking at a class under the registration tab and need to make an edit, you can't just switch to that class under the edit tab. You have to hit edit and it reloads ALL the programs again.
    • We have multipasses built under memberships. The multipass function shows up as "drop-in" on our website which is really not what it is. It is used as a 6-class pack, not a drop-in. This causes a lot of confusion with our parents.

    • Being able to have students register at an event without needing a wifi network
    • Easier way to update records for individuals who move to a different organization
    • Being able to start an application first without needing to immediately set up a user name and password.

    Usability
    Amilia
    Once you understand how it works, it's awesome. There was definitely a learning curve to get used to it, but everyone in my organization received training from an Amilia/SmartRec associate so it was good once we had all our questions answered

    While I do wish they had actual representatives that we able to come to you for trainings for implementation and new users, I understand that a big draw is the money that is saved by instead investing in knowledgebase, which is it's online tutorials for different functions of Slate.

    We had been on Recruitment Plus- it has been sunsetted, so we were forced to move. I also looked at Fire Engine Red. Slate seemed far and away the most robust CRM/Admissions solution.

    Return on Investment
    Amilia
    • Implementing Amilia on our website was a game changer for our enrollment numbers. It is much easier to use than our previous enrollment software.
    • The fact that our tuition rates can be prorated automatically is the best part. We used to have to do it manually which was tedious. Now it is easy peasy and parents can sign up and pay for just the classes remaining in the semester!!

    • We aren't really a business, per se, but a nonprofit university. However, Slate[, by Technolutions] does allow us to easily sort applications into categories for different departments to review. And it provides a clear trail of who is looking at various documents when--and how long it takes to process them.
