Case Study: Sahara Presentation Systems PLC achieves expanded classroom app distribution and monetization with AppDirect

A Unique and Powerful Canvas for Educational Curriculum

Sahara Presentation Systems, the UK AV manufacturer behind Clevertouch—the education‑focused interactive display—needed a centralized, highly curated and secure app marketplace for classrooms. The challenge was to make discovery and downloads intuitive for teachers and students while providing strong authentication, app lifecycle and user management tools, plus the ability to onboard global developers and content partners.

AppDirect built and operates the Cleverstore: a tightly integrated, secure online marketplace with app cataloging, lifecycle management and comprehensive back‑office tools, and it supported global developer onboarding. The platform became a clear differentiator for Sahara, expanding reach to more than 2,000 resellers and opening new distribution and monetization opportunities for educational app developers.
