Implementing a better communication platform is not an easy task, and that’s why the Fedena’s messaging alert system comes into play.  It allows schools to quickly send messages to a defined list of recipients and keep them updated about their child performance. The effective communication system allows schools’ to send last-minute updates to parents such as if any event is getting rescheduled or canceled; emergency holidays; fees submission deadline; availability of transport or change in a bus route. In any event, people need to know – right now. The SMS notification system utilization evolved a long way.
