Project Summary

Prismetric developed a custom scheduling app and companion website for a private school to manage a complex rotational schedule. They collaborated closely with a student designer to convert the school's 6-day cycle into a student-facing schedule and added calendar, reminders, and photo-capture features. The project ran from March to August 2016 and launched at the start of the school year; the app registers significant daily usage and continues to receive improvements during a post-launch debugging period.

Key Challenges

Manage a complicated rotational school schedule that students and teachers find hard to track.
Convert a 6-day cycle into a 5-day student week and represent variable modules and mod-length changes on a single screen.
Provide an integrated tool for students, teachers, administrators, and parents that includes calendars, reminders, and activity data.

Project Deliverables

Mobile app (Android)
Mobile app (iOS)
Website with parity features
In-app calendar and reminders (email/SMS)
Photo capture feature
Unified schedule/dashboard that converts the school's 6-day cycle into the student week

Project Solution

Prismetric worked with the client's daughter (a student) to design a student-oriented mobile app and built matching website functionality. They converted the school's 6-day cycle into a 5-day student week view with modular time units, implemented an in-app calendar for events, reminders via email or text, sharing between users, a photo feature to capture paper schedules, and a website for users without Android or iOS devices. Communication and project management were handled via Skype with regular meetings and iterative improvements during a post-launch debugging period.

Project Outcome

The app receives around 3,500 daily views for a particular part of the schedule.
The app is actively used by the school's 650 students during the school day.
The launch was completed in August 2016 and the engagement continued into a six-month debugging/post-launch improvement period.

Quality of Deliverables

“Though still in the post-launch debugging phase, the client is already very impressed with Prismetric's work. The app already has around 3,500 daily views by the 650 students, and they will continue improving the app. Prismetric was particularly praised for their problem-solving skills and ability to truly understand the students' needs in designing a highly customized app for the school.”
