Testimonials

"Skyward Qmlativ has been a game changer in my position. If you take the effort to put in GOOD data, then the data out will be invaluable and reliable. Qmlativ allows us to filter any and all data in moments to get the information needed to make good, sound financial decisions. The exciting thing is there is always more to learn and more enhancements that will make our lives easier!"

"I really appreciate the time and effort put into the PDC. It is so much better than the old SkyDocs. I am really impressed with how seamless the Qmlativ product feels; everything flows naturally from one task to the next. The PDC makes finding documentation so much simpler than the old system, and I love having easy access to revisit my training materials whenever I need them!"

"Making the switch to Skyward has been nothing short of rewarding. We have been more than impressed and pleased with the people, functionality and adaptability of the system."

"It’s difficult to pinpoint a single biggest improvement that Qmlativ has brought to Blaine County School District because the benefits are numerous. Qmlativ has greatly enhanced financial transparency for our school board by streamlining reporting processes. Board meetings, especially those involving financial discussions, have become more efficient thanks to the clarity provided through detailed reports.

In addition to improving reporting, Qmlativ has significantly increased operational efficiency in areas such as payroll and state reporting. Skyward’s collaboration with vendors and the state ensures that data collection and submission processes are seamless. Tasks that previously took hours to compile and adjust for reporting can now be completed in minutes—accurately and without extra modifications. Budget tracking across departments has also seen substantial improvements.

With the implementation of Smart Tiles, Principals and Directors have access to a comprehensive, real-time view of their budgets. These Smart Tiles can be customized to each user and aligned with their specific account lines, offering insight that was not possible under the previous SMS system.

Overall, Qmlativ has opened new doors for data access and operational efficiency, transforming how Blaine County School District manages its finances and reporting."

"When switching to Skyward from our previous system, we moved from monthly to bi-weekly payrolls for hourly staff. This added 24 payrolls per year, and it still saves time from our previous software.

Our previous software did not provide time tracking, which meant an extensive process to integrate the two systems. Leave requests in our payroll software needed to be balanced with our time tracking system. Manual entries were required when staff did not request time off in our payroll software. Once time was balanced, the export/import process was lengthy and did not always match up, requiring additional review of total hours worked, overtime, and what was imported for the pay to be correct. Teachers used paper timesheets for additional duties such as tutoring, detention, and sub coverage, as it was cost prohibitive to add users to our time tracking software. With Skyward Qmlativ, the time tracking, leave used and payroll are all integrated seamlessly. "

"Skyward has been an essential part of managing HR and finance operations for our district of 700+ employees. It streamlines critical parts of the employee lifecycle such as onboarding, compliance, and leave management, while also supporting finance processes with accuracy and efficiency.

The platform saves us time, reduces errors, and provides practical tools to navigate complex requirements and ever-changing regulations. I also appreciate the ongoing support from the Skyward team, which makes me confident as we look ahead to our Qmlativ migration."

"We can count on Skyward to be up to date and on top of changes in reporting. Their team is top notch and I appreciate the effort in keeping us on top of everything."

"Skyward has been a great partner for Fayetteville City Schools. We know we can count on them for support and are looking forward to moving to the Qmlativ solution."

"District Pulse has been a game-changer for me. Because it syncs directly with Skyward, I can easily track attendance, behavior, and grading all in one place. The different data displays make it simple to spot new trends and catch potential issues much sooner, which helps me take action quickly. On top of that, it has significantly cut down on the amount of time I spend managing data, allowing me to focus more on supporting students."

"We are a fast growth district that switched to Skyward Qmlativ from a non-Skyward SIS 3 years ago. The flexibilty in what you can do with Skyward Qmlativ sets it apart from other SIS. A few highlights for me:

API integration has helped make the challenging process of participating in the transition away from XML for state reporting easier to navigate and troubleshooting submission errors in real time a reality. The power to correct errors and see the correction is vital for their reporting process.

GPA policy changes could have resulted in having to stack multiple gradebooks for secondary teacher classes, however, Skyward Qmlativ’s programming is flexible enough to allow for the phasing in of changes in calculation inside the gradebook rather than being limited to the course. This streamlines a process which can be fraught with logistical difficulties that eat up work hours.

The report building and data mining capabilities are empowering our campus registrars to fulfill data requests that in the past would have required them to reach out for help to the central office. "
