Fed up of juggling bookings and support tickets? Get Kahu.

February 26th, 2010 by Craig

Are you still struggling with Excel to manage your school resources? Do you run into issues with double booking? Do you have a separate system for tracking issues with resources?

As the size and complexity of our schools’ resource provisions continues to increase we need to create appropriate tools to manage them.

RTS developed Kahu (www.getkahu.com), an integrated online resource booking and helpdesk system that allows users to quickly and simply create, remove and edit resource bookings as well as track issues against them. Kahu helps free up valuable resources and allows staff more time to spend on things that really count.

It’s the first application available that presents users with information about potential issues with equipment or rooms before booking them; an important tool when trying to find the correct resources with which to teach expectant students.

Kahu is online, which means teachers are no longer held back by having to use one particular computer; it is accessible at any time, from anywhere with an internet connection. The tool is always up-to-date as there is no software to install, removing the need for IT staff to install and configure lots of computers, saving time and money.

Last month’s BETT show provided a great opportunity to gather some great pre-release feedback from teachers and administration staff. Their suggestions were taken back to the office, polished up and incorporated into the latest version (you can see all of the recent updates on the blog – blog.getkahu.com). A huge ‘thank you’ to everyone who participated in the trial.

Check out www.getkahu.com to see how Kahu can make your school more efficient. Use the simple online ‘Kahuculator’ to discover how cheaply you can cover the whole school.
