Schoop App at work!<\/p><\/div>\n

For parents, it can be infuriating if you are not made aware of trips, meetings or events at your child\u2019s school.<\/p>\n

Frustrated by the lack of communication from his daughter\u2019s school, Paul Smith created the app, Schoop<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chris Hamblin, the Sales Director of Schoop, explains why the app was created and what is in store for the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cSchoop is a multi-lingual communications app designed for schools to further improve the way they engaged and communicate with their parents and school community,\u201d he says.\u00a0Using push message alerts, Schoop<\/a>, which is based in Cardiff, can send messages to schools, specific or private groups and individuals, Chris explains.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe app has a news section for school letters, newsletters, videos, pictures, homework and more.\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Just recently, Schoop have been given \u00a3200,000 of investment from InspireWales<\/a> in order to further their business.\u00a0This investment will \u201callow us to escalate our UK school business with the intention of taking Schoop global when the time is right.\u201d Chris says.<\/p>\n

He adds, \u201cWe will be releasing new features to the app such as a payment system, parents evening booking facility and texts.\u201d<\/p>\n

InspireWales <\/a>fund manager James Henderson has said that Schoop was an attractive proposition because it is an \u201cestablished and profitable business.\u201d<\/p>\n

As well as releasing new features, Schoop will introduce a new corporate specific app in order to increase their private sector clients and gain a larger organisation customer base.<\/p>\n

Currently the app has over 100,000 people using the app, Chris explains, and that this is sure to increase from the investment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are already in talks with schools from Dubai and the Cayman Islands,\u201d Chris says.<\/p>\n

He also states that Schoop is already in Thailand.<\/p>\n

Chris says that the future for Schoop is very positive.<\/p>\n

Because of the investment, Schoop <\/a>will be able to employ a number of new staff for different roles within the business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
