Kumon of Quincy is a math & reading learning center in Quincy, Massachusetts. Solace stood up a customer-owned technology department that now runs its student check-in, parent communications, weekly highlight reels, tuition, and enrollment — the code and data belong to the center.
A busy learning center's front desk is a stack of small, repeated jobs: check students in, capture a moment for parents, send reminders, collect tuition, keep enrollment straight. Off-the-shelf SaaS covers none of it well, and stitching together five subscriptions leaves the center renting tools it never owns.
Each runs through the Solace runtime with an evidence trail. Every parent-facing action is logged.
A QR check-in captures a photo at drop-off and files it to the center's own storage.
The week's photos are assembled into a short reel and delivered to parents automatically.
An in-center kiosk (Android + web) turns a selfie + prop into a branded keepsake families keep.
Reminders and updates go out over a real center phone number via Telnyx SMS + voice.
Passwordless family sign-in with tuition collection through Stripe Connect — funds settle to the center.
A single operator view of enrollments, replacing scattered spreadsheets.
The check-in app, the photo-booth kiosk, the family portal, the student photos, the parent-contact data, and the evidence trail are the center's. Solace operates and maintains them — but if the relationship ever ended, the center keeps its repository, its data export, and the software running its front desk.
