Which MIS platforms do you integrate with?

Bromcom, Arbor, SIMS, ScholarPack, iSAMS and Engage are the most common. For trust-wide deployments we typically use Wonde as the data layer so the same integration works across every school.

Can you support a multi-academy trust as one customer?

Yes - we deliver a single trust-wide telephony, IT and security stack with per-school configuration where it matters (DDIs, hours, voicemail, local cabling).

Do you work with school frameworks?

Yes - we can supply via common education procurement routes and align quotes to capital or revenue budgets.

What about safeguarding records?

All telephony interactions can be logged with retention controls. Sensitive calls can be flagged for safeguarding leads and exported on request.

For education

What we hear, what we deliver, what good looks like

Three lenses on how Telappliant supports your sector. Switch between them to dig into the detail.

Parent and pupil call volumes

Reception is buried in absence reporting, admissions enquiries and routine questions, especially at the start and end of the day.

Multi-site and trust-wide estates

Trusts running multiple schools need consistent telephony, IT and security across every site without losing local identity.

Safeguarding and audit

Every interaction with parents and pupils needs to be handled appropriately, logged and discoverable - with safeguarding leads in the loop.

Tight budgets and procurement

DfE guidance, ESPO frameworks and capital-vs-revenue planning shape what schools can buy and how.
