Unlock the full potential of your school’s data with SalamanderSoft 

When people first think about automation, they usually think about time-saving.

And, they’re right.

For example, we use automation to save schools and trusts hours of admin time each term, automating repetitive tasks like setting up user accounts or syncing timetables.

But, here’s the thing:

Time-saving is just the beginning.

Schools don’t just save time, they unlock smoother operations, tighter security, better learning experiences and future-ready digital infrastructure.

Let’s break down what that actually looks like.

Unleash the magic of automation at your school

Below are some of the key benefits you can unlock at your school or trust with Salamander.

Your systems, connected.

Schools rely on a mix of systems and software to keep things running. From learning tools like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace to device management tools like Apple School Manager, not to mention your Management Information (MIS) platform.

The trouble is, as network managers in education know, these systems don’t always talk to each other.

That’s where Salamander’s automation magic comes in. We connect your MIS to your digital platforms, keeping everything in sync, automatically.

No duplicate data entry. No manual file uploads. Just one connected, reliable digital environment.

Better data security, every day.

Data protection is extremely important in education.

Out-of-date user lists, forgotten accounts and gaps in permissions all lead to security risks.

With Salamander, access is automatically updated based on your MIS data.

If someone leaves the school, their accounts and permissions are removed. That applies to everything, from email access to building entry via our Paxton Net2 integration.

Learning tools that just work.

Nothing slows down a lesson like login problems or missing access to resources.

Salamander automatically provisions your Google Classrooms, Microsoft Teams, Apple classes and more, based on the latest MIS data.

On day one of term, students and staff are ready to go.

We also support Google Guardian summaries and Teams Parent connect, so parents stay in the loop automatically, without the extra admin headache.

Automatic Apple IDs.

For schools using Apple School Manager, Salamander makes life easier for both IT teams and learners.

You can automatically upload data into Apple School Manager or generate correctly formatted CSV files for manual upload, including the creation of pupils, staff and classes. Meanwhile, custom filters allow partial cohort uploads, with full control over column formats (e.g., legal or preferred names) and email or username fields are synced from your MIS, Active Directory or a cloud provider.

Scalability.

If you’re a Multi Academy Trust, Salamander’s automation makes it easy to onboard new schools.

We adapt to your set up and support multiple MIS systems, multiple cloud tenancies, all monitored through our Salamander Cloud Portal.

Keep your data consistent, everywhere.

With our writeback functionality, we push key data, like usernames and email addresses back into your MIS. That means you never have to update things twice. It’s a small thing that makes a big difference in accuracy and admin time.

Salamander saves more than time.

Of course, we save schools hundreds of hours.

But, more importantly, we create the foundations for your school or trust that are secure, scalable and built for teaching and learning.

When your systems are in sync, your school runs smoother. Teachers can focus on teaching. Students can focus on learning. And IT teams can focus on innovation rather than admin.
