Project Summary
Zealous System developed the Instant School iOS and Android communication apps from scratch, focusing on safety, usability, and fast two-way messaging between parents and schools. They assisted with server setup to ensure performance and supported the client's in-house team. The app rolled out successfully, achieving positive downloads and adoption by multiple schools.

Project Deliverables
- iOS and Android apps developed from scratch
- Parent-only access controls to ensure each parent sees only their children
