Customisation

As the sole owners and developers of iAbacus, we offer the flexibility to customise the tool according to the specific needs of your school or trust. Whether it’s a feature designed exclusively for your institution or an enhancement that benefits the entire iAbacus community, we listen to our customers and evolve the platform accordingly.

Our Customisation Approach:

Listening to Customer Feedback

We believe that the best way to improve iAbacus is by listening to the educators who use it. Our development process is customer-led, ensuring that every enhancement or new feature directly addresses the needs of our users.

We work closely with schools and trusts to understand their requirements and develop custom solutions that enhance the effectiveness of iAbacus in their educational context.

Tailored Features for Your School

If your school or trust has a specific need, we can build a customised feature just for you. Whether it’s an additional evaluation area, a specific reporting function, or an entirely new application for the tool, we work with you to create a solution that fits your exact requirements.

Sometimes these custom features are unique to your school, while at other times, they become valuable enhancements for the wider iAbacus community.

Ongoing Platform Evolution

iAbacus is constantly evolving, thanks to the feedback and ideas from schools and MATs. As new features are developed, they may be rolled out to all users, ensuring the entire iAbacus community benefits from continual improvements.

Examples of Recent Customisations:

EHCP Objective Tracking for Pupils

One school requested a feature to track EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan) objectives. We added the capability to create targets as iAbacus bead areas, allowing for longer text descriptions and easy monitoring of pupil progress.

Risk Register Functionality for MATs

A Multi-Academy Trust wanted to use iAbacus as a risk register. We introduced RAG rateable criteria, enabling schools to visually track and manage risks with clarity and consistency.

Saving Overlays for Performance Monitoring

Another trust sought the ability to save iAbacus overlays, which show performance across multiple schools. We implemented this feature, making it easier for leaders to track and compare progress over time, enhancing strategic planning.
