Empowering schools with innovative tools to enhance community engagement
Civica, a global GovTech champion supporting the needs of citizens and those who serve them, has acquired Loop Software Pty Ltd and their core product Daymap as part of its mission to deliver high-quality, innovative solutions for its customers. This strategic acquisition will enhance Civica’s school management platform by integrating Daymap’s advanced student and learning management system, thereby improving the user experience for all school stakeholders across a wide range of educational activities.
Daymap has long provided schools with a comprehensive, flexible learning and teaching management solution, offering essential functions such as attendance tracking, communication and scheduling. Additionally, Daymap’s Parent Portal enables parents to stay connected with their child’s school life. Daymap focuses on reducing teacher and administrative workloads by integrating written and audio feedback tools with assessment criteria, streamlining grading and feedback storage for greater efficiency.
Loop Software was represented in the transaction with Civica by Hemisphere Partners.
Lee Perkins, CEO at Civica, commented, “Daymap, trusted by over 150 schools, empowers educators, students and parents with innovative tools. By integrating the strengths of Daymap with the Civica school management platform, we’re creating a solution that reduces administrative burdens while fostering greater collaboration and connectivity within the school community. This acquisition reaffirms our commitment to empowering schools and providing the tools they need to thrive in an increasingly digital world.”
Iain Finlayson, Managing Director of Library and Education at Civica, added, “This acquisition is a natural fit to complement our school management platform. Through ongoing engagement with our partner schools, we recognise the strong demand for cutting-edge tools in learning, attendance, assessment and student well-being.”
Guy Thomas, Managing Director at Daymap, said, “Together, we will enhance every aspect of the education experience, from classroom engagement to operational efficiency. The integration of Daymap will bring immediate synergies and open up new opportunities for product enhancements, customer support and global reach.”
By adding Daymap, Civica strengthens its commitment to providing schools with a comprehensive, end-to-end management solution, enhancing community engagement and setting new standards for efficiency and connectivity in education.
