Use cases

Every campus message,
from enquiry to graduation.

The same orchestration that sends a same-minute absence alert to a guardian also runs your admissions nudges, fee reminders and result notifications — with student-data-aware routing and consent held per guardian.

Attendance & safeguarding

Same-minute absence alerts to guardians and safeguarding escalations to duty staff — the messages that must arrive within minutes, on any handset.

Compliance

Student-data-aware by design.

Education messaging carries some of the most sensitive personal data an institution holds, much of it about minors. We architect for least-privilege exposure — student records stay in your SIS; we move the deep-link.

Case study · international school group

Absence alerts and fee reminders reach guardians on WhatsApp and SMS, with student records kept in the SIS.

Challenge: Absence calls and posted fee letters were slow and easy to miss, and grades occasionally travelled in message bodies against policy. Approach: An international school group moved attendance, fees and results messaging onto BroadNet's WhatsApp + SMS orchestration, holding student records behind portal deep-links and enforcing per-guardian consent. Reference available under NDA.

Channel mix

The channel mix
institutions actually run.

Education leans on WhatsApp for rich, two-way parent engagement and SMS for the universal, unmissable alerts — absence, safeguarding, exams — that must reach every guardian regardless of handset. Voice covers accessibility and urgent escalations.

WhatsApp Business

Parent engagement, admissions, bookings and two-way support — branded, rich, high open rate.

SMS

Universal reach for absence, safeguarding and exam alerts. Every guardian, every handset.

Voice & flash-call

Urgent safeguarding escalations, accessibility for some guardians and OTP portal access.

Architecture

From the SIS or LMS
to the guardian's pocket.

One REST call from your student information system, LMS or admissions platform. BroadNet handles channel selection, language routing and deep-link hydration — and never sees student records in the message body.

Questions

The questions buyers ask most.

How do you keep grades and student records out of messages?

+

The template manager enforces a data-light pattern: the message carries a signed, expiring deep-link to your parent or student portal, and grades and records stay in your SIS. This keeps you inside PDPL, GDPR and FERPA-aware data-minimisation expectations, which matter especially for data about minors.

How is consent handled for guardians of minors?

+

Consent is held per guardian, timestamped and exportable, with quiet-hour and frequency rules applied per jurisdiction. Because much of the data concerns minors, the consent ledger and least-privilege deep-link pattern are designed to give your data office a defensible record.

How fast do absence and safeguarding alerts arrive?

+

They route on direct operator routes with delivery receipts, so a same-minute absence alert reaches the guardian and a safeguarding escalation reaches duty staff within minutes — and you can prove delivery, which matters for safeguarding audits.

Which systems do you integrate with?

+

We ingest webhooks from student information systems, learning management systems and admissions CRMs — PowerSchool and bespoke SIS platforms among them. Events are guardian-keyed and map closely to common SIS shapes, so integration is usually light.

Can we message in the languages our families actually speak?

+

Yes. The template manager supports 30+ languages with Meta-policy linting — Arabic, English, Hindi, Tagalog and more out of the box — so a diverse parent body receives messages in a language they read, from one template set.

What regulators and standards do you align to for education?

+

We align to UAE Ministry of Education / KHDA and KSA Ministry of Education content and sender-ID expectations, hold ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II, and operate PDPL, GDPR and FERPA-aware controls. We do not claim PCI-DSS — fee-card handling stays with your payment provider behind the pay-now link.
