Customer story / Education

Academy District 20 students and school facilities.

About

26,000+ students: Academy District 20 serves a large public-school community. Multi-team support: IT, special education, and administrative teams manage requests. District-wide service: The platform coordinates support across schools and departments.

The challenge

Fragmented intake

Requests arrived through channels that were difficult to coordinate.

Limited automation

The previous solution lacked strong workflow controls.

Complex setup

A brief move from Kbox to Cherwell introduced cumbersome configuration and usability problems.

High ticket volume

Multiple teams needed a system that could manage district-scale demand.

The implementation

Omnichannel ticketing

Email, phone, forms, and APIs feed one dashboard.

Custom queues

Ticket forms and queues route work using relevant information.

Fast rollout

The phased rollout began with IT before expanding to Special Education and Central Registry, with minimal setup friction.

Teams integration

Agents receive service updates inside Microsoft Teams.
