Existing Solutions

K-12 schools can find vendors through a variety of methods including: word-of-mouth referrals, online research, and traditional sales and marketing channels. Existing solutions do not have accurate and consistent cost data, detailed requirements and offerings, and vast amounts of qualified consumer reviews. These gaps provide room for My K-12 Advisor to disrupt the sector, gain market share, and benefit K-12 schools and top performing vendors.

Examples of current solutions:

Similar platforms (not     in education): Angie’s List, Houzz, Yelp,     WeddingWire

Similar platforms (in     education): Procure K12

Websites used by K12     buyers: Google, regional/membership organizations, EdTech publications

Websites used by K12     suppliers: FindRFP, eMaryland Marketplace, Cville     bids and proposals

Huurderconnect

One of the available solutions that exist is huurderconnect. This is an app for the iPhone that has been developed by a co-operation between portaal, Exxellence group and appnormal.com. This app is published as a digital service where tenants can contact the housing cooperatives directly. Tenants are able to create service requests and post complaints, notifications regarding the environment and suggestions. The service requests created are redirected to the according housing cooperative. They also allow you to do the request via their website in case no iPhone is available.

  Thuisvester

Thuisvester is a housing cooperative in Oosterhout, Geertruidenberg, Rucphen and Zundert. Thuisvester has introduced an app for both Android and iPhone to let tenants create service requests. The first time a tenant opens the app, he or she has to register (one time only) and is then able to use the function to create requests by performing three steps. The housing cooperative states they will contact the tenant within one working day, after the ticket has been submitted. The solution offered by Thuisvester is only available for tenants that hire houses from Thuisvester.

Reparatieverzoeken SG

Software provided by SG automatisering allows the recording of service requests that are handled by both the internal and the external service providers. SG provides total packages of software for housing cooperatives. They however do not provide an application that allows tenants and the external service providers to make posts directly into an application. This means that the communication has to be supplied via different channels.
