The Challenge:

Unleashing Potential

The Jam Session That Sparked a Revolution

 

It all began with a jam session. Paul Green, inspired by his music students, invited a few to join his band, leading to remarkable progress compared to those who continued with solo lessons. This sparked the birth of School of Rock in 2002, starting with just over 100 students in Philadelphia. The franchise quickly expanded to cities like San Francisco, New York, and Austin, growing into a global phenomenon with over 200 locations across eight countries.

However, as the franchise grew, so did the challenges. The existing enterprise software was cumbersome and confusing, leaving franchise owners—many of whom were passionate musicians and educators—struggling to navigate its complexities. Scheduling was sluggish, and owners needed a solution that would seamlessly integrate into their daily operations and be mobile-friendly for today’s busy parents.
