ParentPaperwork

Education technology startup ParentPaperwork, founded by Melbourne-based Fiona Boyd and David Eedle last year, has today announced the launch of its platform’s School Forms module. This is set to expand ParentPaperwork so that it has a wide range of online forms scenarios in schools.

Melbourne startup ParentPaperwork, an online platform automating school-related paperwork like excursion permission slips, has signed an exclusive distribution deal with Indian company smartData Enterprises.

It sounds simple – because simplicity is the purpose – but what’s interesting is how scalable ParentPaperwork’s solution is, especially when considering its potential beyond Australia and the education industry.

Although we’ve diverged quite rapidly into the digital world, many Australian schools are stuck in an age-old bind and relying on paper-based forms – a labour-intensive, unreliable, and inefficient process for teachers, parents and students alike.
