Case Study: The Benjamin School achieves real-time attendance and campus visibility with Orah

The Benjamin School replaces manual attendance with Orah in weeks

The Benjamin School, a K-12 day school, faced a challenge with a highly manual student attendance process that was dependent on a single staff member. They lacked real-time, period-by-period visibility into student whereabouts and needed to automatically sync this data with their Blackbaud SIS without daily manual reconciliation. They turned to Orah's student life platform to solve this fundamental accountability issue.

Orah implemented a real-time attendance and pass management system, beginning with a pilot in the Upper School. The solution included a two-way sync with Blackbaud and a live dashboard for administrators. The results were immediate, with teachers adopting the app quickly and completing nearly 1,900 attendance rolls and over 2,100 passes in the first month. Orah provided the school with its first live view of student locations, eliminated end-of-day manual work, and received a perfect NPS score during onboarding.
