Campus Marketplace and Invoicing

Marketplace for Campus and Groups, and On-line Invoicing

 

Every campus has many different departments, fundraisers, organizations and groups that need to collect fees, fines, and invoice users and groups. IDentifyED provides an amazing platform for campuses of all kinds.

So, the campus security department asked if we can create a platform for them to collect fees for parking, auto registration and possibly charge for some fines. We looked at the Whole Campus and said, “Sure, but can we do it for every department and every organization on campus?”

So, we built a very cool invoicing and marketplace solution for an entire campus. Each Department or Group on Campus can create it’s own set of products. Products can be a fundraiser, an article of clothing, a ticket, a fee, a fine, a subscription or pretty much anything that you can imagine.

Marketplaces are organized by groups. What is a group? A group can be a department, the whole campus, an athletic team, a non-profit organization or even a group formed for a special purpose like a trip or a specific mission.

Once you start using IDentifyED you will realize how powerful groups are and the amazing amount of powerful features that exist inside our Group Management System.

So, the security department wanted really a fee and fine system, and that really meant that they wanted to create invoices to users, and they wanted those users to be able to go on-line and pay the invoice. You can create any product that includes a fine or fee.

You can put that product on your group marketplace, which also allows you to put your products on the campus marketplace.

Also, you can simply create a product select a user or a group or users and invoice them.

The invoice shows up in their invoice box, they get a message about the invoice as well. They are able to select the invoice and pay the invoice with their credit card or bank account online immediately!

If you are worried about all the accounting, don’t. It’s easy! We allow every group to either use a common Stripe Account or create their own Stripe account. Each product sale is accounted by Stripe account, by product and by user. All the work is done for you! You can allocate a Stripe account to a specific bank account and bam the money is dropped into the account.

Best part is this whole infrastructure costs your campus, nothing.

How! We allow you to add the marketplace fee along with the credit card processing fee to the cost of the product or, you can make those a separate line item on the invoice, either way, you control all of that!

So, what is being done today, with Campus Marketplace and Invoices?

 

Well, most of it is… Pay us the money, cash please. We all know how that can go wrong.

There are exceptions where a department or a group can create a means by which they can collect fees via credit card, there are any number of ways that this can be done. The issue there is that there usually is no audit function. No way to monitor the transaction. And, well that is not necessarily a bad thing, until there is a problem and it becomes “a bad thing”.

In education for campuses that charge tuition, well those campuses have pretty strong tools for tuition management. However, all the other fees, fines, and other items don’t normally go through a tuition management system, it’s just too complicated and private schools and colleges don’t want to mess with their tuition management system.

So, how do all the other items get paid for?

The answer is usually; “Welcome to the wild, wild west, where anything goes!” The nice thing about our marketplace and invoicing is that it balances control with autonomy.

1Groups need to collect money.

2Campus members want a simple trusted way to pay, and to insure the get what they paid for.

3Campuses want a common platform that allows payments to be made that are trusted and auditable.

4Campuses want to allow group autonomy or to control it, and we allow for both.

5Marketplaces allow campus  users access to all types of fines, fees, products, and events that a user can purchase.

6Invoicing allows for easy billing, easy paying and easy collection with strong records.

Once common marketplace, one simple way to invoice, potentially hundreds of products and services provided by as many groups and departments are you like!

Marketplaces and Invoicing needs to be simple.

IDentifyED has created a platform that allows you to create many different types of simple products! Make them available to only your group, the entire campus or only make them available as an invoice line item!

In a matter of a few clicks a market is born, and a product is created!

Simply stated are:

  • Everything is simple and on-line.
  • Fees and fines are part of a common campus-wide invoicing and marketplace, so they get paid.
  • Departments and Groups have control over the products and services they offer and bill for.
  • Users can trust the marketplace because it is controlled and auditable.
  • Campuses can control who has a marketplace and what products are sold.
  • Credit card and bank transfers are handled by Stripe, the most trusted processor in the business today.
  • Money can go into a group’s Stripe account or a common campus-wide Stripe account.
  • Money is delivered right to the bank account. No people, nothing gets lost or stolen.
  • Invoice boxes allow the user to see what is owed and click on the payment section and buy it!

Why doesn’t my Campus have marketplace and invoicing system?

1Some systems are very costly.

2Some systems are very complicated.

3Operations does not prioritize the mundane, but it eats up huge resources.

4We have always done it like this (yuck).

5Someone created a spreadsheet, and well (insert the rest of the excuse here)

6Software suppliers focus on one problem rather than a system that complete resolves a campus’s issues. Those solutions do not provide enough value.

7The accounting folks just don’t want or need the extra hassle, because they would need to do all the work. In our marketplace it’s all automated!

IDentifyED Campus Management API Library

IDentifyEd has a large library of APIs so that 3rd parties with the proper credentials can interact with IDentifyED.  The Auto/Vehicle Management System APIs allow data interaction with 3rd party data sources and applications, the ability to query user-vehicle information and other data points in order to provide a smarter and safer campus.

IDentifyED’s Visitor Management the next evolution in campus security.

Visitor Management is not a new concept, as a matter of fact it may be one of the very first processes that were established 1000s of years ago.

However, the ability to manage and monitor a visitor with a paperless system as they make a visit, the ability to verify whether a visitor has any issues with their criminal record in a way that does not expose the visitor or the enterprise with privacy risks is new.

These significant changes are the difference between allowing a visitor to make a monitored and managed visits with visitor validation on to your campus and allowing a sex offender free range to your students.
