Habitude joins Arbor!

We are excited to announce that, as of today, Habitude joins Arbor - the UK’s most popular MIS and School Management Suite. This partnership marks a new chapter in helping schools and MATs unlock higher levels of performance and impact through smarter, more connected processes.

‍

Why we built Habitude

As MATs grow, so does their complexity, and solving it eventually rises to the top of every MAT leader's to-do list. Without strong, automated processes, schools can easily become waylaid by the admin that keeps them moving. We built Habitude to fix this, making it easy for schools and school groups to set up clever workflows to handle the day-to-day recurring workload that keeps our schools ticking.

‍

Back when we launched in Autumn 2022 we didn’t appreciate how much of that work there was.

Since then, Habitude has carried out millions of tasks across HR, attendance, enrolment, finance, governance and more, and we are growing more quickly than ever. With Habitude, you can easily drag-and-drop together the workflow that you need, whether data is your strong suit or not! Just design what you need, and our platform handles the rest—sending emails, updating spreadsheets, nudging decision-makers, saving files, syncing with your MIS amongst many others.

‍

Every week we discover new ways that customers have used our workflows to reinforce the hard work of their teams, giving them back capacity to focus on the most important work. Some of our most popular workflows right now include complaints management, onboarding new staff members and managing EHCPs. We have seen the impact that Habitude makes and we now want to rapidly roll this technology out for the benefit of every school in the country.

‍

Why Arbor

Our customers already love Arbor. It’s the most popular MIS amongst Habitude’s schools and MATs, and it’s the platform that we consistently see delivering the time savings and intelligence that help schools to go further. That is why over 2 in 3 schools that switch MIS today choose Arbor, and why we also chose Arbor as the right home to deliver the next phase of our vision to unlock a hidden workforce in schools. 

‍

All of us at Arbor and Habitude are so excited about what that integrated future looks like—Habitude’s clever workflows available throughout the Arbor School Management Suite, translating data and insights into action!

‍

What next for Habitude

For all of our customers (whether you use Arbor MIS or not), this is an exciting development. Arbor has an existing eco-system of 130+ platform partners, and this partnership unlocks more integrations between your Habitude processes and the platforms they overlap with, or ideally would. This also sees Habitude benefit from the resources and expertise held at Arbor and The Key Group, and will help us to reach large numbers of schools more quickly.

‍

Arbor customers can look forward to Habitude-like embedded workflows and integrations directly in their MIS experience, helping tie together data, events and actions in whatever way adds the most value for them. We will also help them to tap into Arbor’s AI and Data Warehouse capabilities to create totally new ways to leverage their MIS and other connected apps.

‍

From fixing everyday grit, to delivering huge ambitions to change that thing (whatever it may be), the future for Habitude inside Arbor gives school and school group leaders the tools to get on with delivering solutions. We can’t wait to get going.
