LINQ, the premier software provider exclusively serving K-12
business operations of all sizes, today announced the launch of the
latest edition of LINQ Connect, the company’s all-in-one mobile app
that allows parents and guardians to easily monitor and make
payments on their students’ school accounts from the convenience of
their cell phones or tablets.
LINQ Connect allows parents to easily manage their student’s
day. Through the app, parents will also be able to track upcoming
breakfast and lunch menus for their students—including the ability
to view all school activities for children who attend different
schools within the same district and make real-time transfers
between student meal accounts. Parents can also receive push
notifications when their students’ account balance is low and have
access to make payments for student meal accounts, school events
and organization-related fees. The addition of multi-factor
authentication within the LINQ Connect app will help ensure all
student and family information is secure.
“The LINQ Connect app is designed with one major goal in mind:
to make life easier for parents,” said Bryan Jones, CEO at LINQ.
“Parents are often forced to download and navigate multiple
different platforms and tools simply to ensure their children
access to make meal payments, access school menus, make payments
related to school and athletic fees, purchase yearbooks, donate to
PTAs and more. With LINQ Connect, we’ve streamlined that process to
give parents a unified approach to school-related spending that
makes life easier for them and their students.”
LINQ Connect is also built for ease of use for school
leadership. School administrators can use one app across all
elements of a school’s financial workflows. Connect allows complete
visibility into school finances through the district’s existing
LINQ dashboard, ensuring administrators can trace all transactions
across the school. Administrators and teachers will also be able to
upload and monitor forms in the app, reducing headaches stemming
from misplaced permission slips.
LINQ is committed to helping its school districts connect with
all parents. In service of that mission, virtually all elements of
the platform—including payments functions, school menus and student
forms—will be immediately accessible for users in 11 languages:
English, Spanish, French, Mandarin Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean,
German, Russian, Portuguese, Burmese and Armenian.
"We saw an opportunity to improve the experience for families
and administrators through a simple yet powerful app,” said Keith
Womack, general manager of payments at LINQ. “LINQ Connect delivers
a complete solution for making all school-related payments. The
ability to consolidate and track payments in one digital
channel—combined with real-time information-sharing and features
like push notifications—offers a simpler, more intuitive and more
cost-effective option for schools to meet the needs of students and
families."
LINQ will demonstrate the functionality and ease of use the
latest edition of LINQ Connect offers parents and administrators at
the School Nutrition Association’s Annual National Conference at
Booth #2118 from July 14 to July 16 in Boston.
LINQ Connect can be downloaded from the App Store, Google Play
or anywhere you access apps today. To learn more about LINQ, visit
