Case Study: Northeastern Catholic District School Board achieves integrated, streamlined finance, HR and payroll with PowerSchool's Unified Administration™ Atrieve

Ontario District Finds Efficiency with Unified Administration™ Atrieve

Northeastern Catholic District School Board (NECDSB), which serves 14 schools across Northeastern Ontario, struggled with slow, error-prone finance, HR and payroll workflows spread across multiple systems. Payroll reporting could take up to three days, required manual Excel manipulation, and led to overpayments and repeated audits — making real-time analysis and decision-making nearly impossible.

NECDSB selected PowerSchool’s Unified Administration™ Atrieve as a partnered, integrated solution and implemented it quickly. The deployment unified finance, HR and payroll, automated K‑12 best practices, standardized data sharing and enabled real-time analytics and dashboards for leaders, reducing manual work and human error while improving month- and year-end reconciliation and operational visibility.
