School districts

Stop missing deadlines. Stop paying above the peer median for bandwidth.

Most district IT directors juggle E-Rate alongside cybersecurity, network ops, helpdesk, and capital projects. The program is worth millions but eats hours every quarter — and a single missed PIA response can cost a year of funding.

What we hear

"Funding decisions land weeks late. My superintendent asks what we got committed and I'm clicking through ten EPC screens. I have no idea if we're paying a fair price for internet. PIA windows are a tripwire."

What this platform does

  • Funding status at a glance. Every FRN with committed/disbursed amounts, status, and a click to USAC's raw data.
  • Cost intelligence. Your $/Mbps vs. the median of districts your size in your state, so you can see where you sit against the peer median.
  • PIA tracker. 15-day response windows auto-calculated. Red badge when one's open.
  • Bandwidth benchmarks. Are you meeting the FCC's 1 Mbps/student goal? What would closing the gap cost?
  • C2 budget calculator. What's left in your 5-year ceiling? At your discount rate, what could you still buy?
  • Document vault. Form 471s, FCDLs, contracts, RFPs — tagged by FRN, searchable, 50 MB per upload.
  • Board-ready reports. Lifetime committed, year-over-year trend, peer comparisons — export-ready.
E-Rate consultants

Run your whole portfolio from one screen.

Independent E-Rate consultants and firms manage anywhere from 5 to 500 districts. Everyone else juggles EPC tabs, district spreadsheets, and email threads.

What we hear

"30 districts across three states. Every Tuesday I'm answering the same five questions: where are deadlines, who has open PIAs, who got their wave letter, who's missing a 471. And clients want quantifiable proof of my value."

What this platform does

  • State-grouped districts. Collapsible sections, filter pills, search. Switch active district from any page.
  • Cross-state benchmarks. Show clients they're top-quartile in their state, or below median — with the data to back it up.
  • Cost-savings finder. Aggregate the gap to peer median across your portfolio in one number. Every line is a billable engagement.
  • Audit log. Every action timestamped — for your records, your clients, compliance.
  • Permission system. Each district sees only their data; staff get scoped views; service providers a separate portal.
  • Outreach module. Track prospects, log conversations, never lose a lead.
Service providers

Pipeline that builds itself.

If you sell connectivity, network gear, or managed services into K-12, every Form 470 is a bid opportunity. There are thousands posted each year, scattered across USAC. Most ISPs end up reactive — chasing whatever lands in inbox.

What we hear

"By the time I find out a district posted a 470, the 28-day window's half over. I have no way to know who's due to recompete, who's currently above the peer median, or what my competitor's win-rate looks like by state."

What this platform does

  • Hot Pipeline. Open Form 470s in your states, filterable by service type, sorted by allowable-contract date.
  • State opportunity scoring. Each state ranked by district count × discount × your existing presence.
  • Competitor SPIN intelligence. Who's winning where, at what price — and which districts are ripe for a re-compete.
  • Contract-expiration leads. Districts whose Cat1 contracts roll off in 12–18 months.
  • Per-state market sizing. Total Cat1 commitment per state, average $/Mbps, your share, competitors' share.
  • One-click district detail. Bandwidth, service-provider history, contract end, current $/Mbps — before you reach out.
  • CSV exports. Pull your filtered prospect list directly into Salesforce, HubSpot, or your CRM of choice.
