Its core focus is on improving efficiency, transparency, and engagement between students and housing staff.
“We are thrilled to welcome Campus Kaizen to Cordance,” said Sharon Love, Cordance CEO. “This acquisition strengthens our commitment to improving the operational efficiency of schools and helping them improve student satisfaction, retention, and overall campus life. With Campus Kaizen’s innovative solutions, alongside our existing EdTech offerings, we will help these institutions streamline their processes, reduce administrative burdens, and create a safer, more efficient environment for students and staff, ultimately supporting better educational outcomes.”

Our solutions streamline and simplify critical campus and district operations, allowing our clients to focus on delivering exceptional educational experiences. I am both proud of what we’ve built and excited about our next phase of growth. With Cordance as our partner, we’re set to continue scaling our impact to achieve even greater results for our customers.”
