FACTS and ADF Partnership for Tuition Management

This case study outlines the collaboration between FACTS and the Archdiocesan Development Fund (ADF) to enhance tuition management for Catholic schools in Brisbane. The ADF, established in 1969, supports over 150 Catholic schools with financial services. The partnership aims to streamline tuition management workflows through a secure digital solution, significantly reducing administrative burdens for schools and improving payment experiences for families. The implementation of FACTS Tuition Management has led to a 15% reduction in overdue fees and an 80% decrease in manual in-person payments. Over 90% of families have adopted automated payment plans, demonstrating high engagement with the platform. The case study also discusses the tailored workflow created for ADF schools, including efficient management of extracurricular activity payments and a seamless enrolment process for new families. Future initiatives include a pilot program to digitize payment plan applications, enhancing real-time visibility and reporting for schools. The financial benefits of the platform are highlighted, with a payback period of less than 13 months and substantial annual savings.
