As ed-tech industry continues to evolve, businesses must adapt and provide seamless experiences to their customers. To achieve this, businesses must be ahead of operational challenges which customers might face and provide a prompt response.

Unfortunately today, something keeps on breaking and the operations team is firefighting with reports and BI dashboards which is a very reactive approach leading to high customer dissatisfaction. Ed-tech businesses can resolve this challenge by creating proactive alerts on a variety of use cases. In this blog we will look at some of the use cases ed-tech businesses can resolve through real-time alerts and issue management.

Use Cases:

Teacher Not Showing Up:

One of the recurring issues faced by ed-tech platforms is when a teacher fails to show up for a scheduled class, often due to conflicting classes or other reasons. This leads to high dissatisfaction and frustration among students eventually resulting in them churning out.

With Locale, businesses can implement a robust proactive alert system that notifies students in advance if a teacher is unable to attend a class. Moreover, the platform will also assign an operations person to manage such situations promptly, ensuring a smooth learning experience for students.

Student Absenteeism:

Student absenteeism can result in a decline in customer engagement and eventual churn, as learners miss out on valuable content and learning opportunities.

By integrating Locale, ed-tech businesses can automatically track student attendance and send notifications to absent students, encouraging them to catch up on missed sessions. Additionally, an operations person is auto assigned to follow up with absentee students helps improve their engagement and reduce churn rates.

Low Project Completion Rate:

Late project submissions can impact completion rates and hinder students' progress, resulting in dissatisfaction and reduced overall engagement. Less engaged students will eventually end up failing in the course or will leave the course midway through.

Locale enables businesses to implement automated alerts to remind students of upcoming project deadlines. Also, Locale can alert the ops team of such cases, so that the team can follow up with these students to ensure the project completion. This proactive approach helps students stay on track and enhances completion rates, ensuring a positive learning experience.

Cart Abandonment:
