Case Study: INMAT achieves significant agency fee savings with IRIS Teacher Booker

INMAT - Customer Case Study

INMAT, a group of 11 primary schools in Northamptonshire, faced rising costs and a lack of oversight from outsourcing its supply teacher needs to numerous local agencies. Their annual spend on supply staff had grown to £328,000, with an estimated £82,000 of that going to agency fees, while headteachers wasted hours each day on manual booking processes. The Trust partnered with IRIS Teacher Booker to centralize its supply function and regain control over spending and quality.

IRIS Teacher Booker provided its Supply Pool software and managed recruitment services to help INMAT build and manage its own internal supply staff bank. The solution handled compliance vetting, payroll, and candidate attraction, enabling the trust to successfully onboard supply teachers. Within half a year, INMAT saved over £19,000 in agency fees, headteachers reported significant time savings and reduced stress, and the trust established a reliable, high-quality pool of supply staff they described as an extension of their family.
