Compass Education today announced the acquisition of Inklass, the school-branded mobile app platform known for thoughtful design and built to bring school systems together in one cohesive experience for families, students and staff.
The acquisition strengthens Compass’ leadership in Australian school management, extending the platform with a best-in-class branded app, helping schools deliver a modern, consistent and highly engaging experience while reducing the operational burden on staff.
Inklass has become known for its thoughtful design and deep, real-time integrations that help school communities stay connected through a single, intuitive app experience. By joining Compass, Inklass will accelerate its vision of a school’s branded app as the single front door to everything, regardless of the systems a school uses.
“Inklass has always been built on the belief that the quality of your school should be reflected in the app that represents it,” said Bashir Rahmah, Founder & CEO at Inklass. “With Compass, we can move faster and integrate deeper, while staying true to what makes Inklass work, thoughtful design, real-time data and an experience families enjoy using.”
Together, Compass and Inklass will deliver a more connected, consistent mobile experience by accelerating product investment, expanding platform integrations, building on Inklass’ leading Clipboard integration and deepening connections across the Compass ecosystem, enabling richer native access to the information that matters most, from communication, attendance and wellbeing to learning and payments.
“At Compass, our focus is helping schools prioritise what matters most,” said John de la Motte, CEO of Compass Education. “Welcoming Inklass into the Compass family enhances the everyday experience for school communities, bringing a beautifully designed, deeply integrated mobile app experience to more Australian schools, and strengthening Compass as the most comprehensive and connected school management solution in the country.”
