(Winnipeg, Manitoba) March 21, 2018 — Permission Click, the global leader in K–12 school form automation, has closed a multimillion-dollar capital raise led by an international strategic investor. The new investment will allow Permission Click to significantly expand its school-facing organization across North America, while turning an eye to new markets overseas. The company is working to make more than a dozen new hires in sales, marketing, and product development.
Permission Click is best known for its School Edition, which delivers digital permission slips, forms, and payment collection for K–12 schools. It recently launched a premium, full-featured District Edition, which has quickly gained traction across the U.S. and Canada. Permission Click is already used by thousands of schools in more than 30 countries and 108 languages.
“School systems are facing widespread budget reductions, and we are seeing a big spike in district leaders focused on ways to do more with less,” said Chris Johnson, co-founder and CEO of Permission Click. “With Permission Click, schools can not only find massive efficiencies by going digital, but for the first time they have a tool to implement more comprehensive risk-management practices that are critical to managing child safety and containing costs in today’s increasingly litigious environment.’
Permission Click is built from the ground up to help K-12 systems manage risk and reduce liability by demonstrating that forms and processes have been consistently applied, that any required approvals (either internal or from parents) have been collected, and that documents have been securely archived.
“While we aren’t disclosing the identity of our new partners just yet,” said Johnson, “I can say we are thrilled. They share our vision to free schools from manual, paper-based processes and have invested in our company as a first step in our partnership. We are now working ahead to combine our award-winning platform with their deep education market expertise in their region to rapidly scale Permission Click in a whole new market.”
