ENROLLMENT
Assign students to the right schools instantly
Validate and geocode addresses with rooftop-level precision to support accurate placement decisions. Resolve boundary questions faster, reduce manual review, and give families confidence from day one.
SAFETY
Reach every family when emergencies happen
Ensure your alerts reach parents during lockdowns, closures, and incidents. Connect with the right household every time, no matter how many times families move or update their contact information.
TRANSPORTATION
Run transportation that pays for itself
Calculate exact home-to-school distances for eligibility (1.5+ miles). Save $37,000 per eliminated route and up to $6,000 per bus annually through fuel-efficient routing. Turn transportation from a cost center into a model of efficiency.
COMPLIANCE
Pass every audit with confidence
Meet Title I, NCES, and transportation reimbursement requirements without last-minute scrambles. Build address data that supports defensible reporting from day one, so you can focus on students instead of compliance catch-up.
INTEGRATION

FAQ
How do you handle legacy address data accumulated over 20+ years?
Process decades of data in hours through bulk cleansing. The system handles obsolete street names, annexed areas, boundary changes, and formatting inconsistencies automatically. Most education organizations see 85-95% of addresses corrected without manual intervention, with clear flags for the exceptions requiring review.
What about students in temporary housing or experiencing homelessness?
Validate and geocode standard addresses while maintaining full override capability for special circumstances (shelters, transitional housing, confidential addresses). You keep complete control over exceptions while ensuring the majority of addresses meet compliance requirements.
Can this integrate with our custom-built SIS?
Yes. Connect through REST APIs, SDKs (Python, Java, C#, JavaScript, PHP, Ruby), or batch processing with any system capable of HTTP requests or CSV file processing. You receive dedicated technical support throughout implementation.
What happens when student addresses fall on boundary lines?
You receive rooftop-level geocodes accurate to 3-5 meters. Your GIS team or enrollment office makes final boundary determinations using your official boundary maps. You get the precision data, you retain decision authority.
How long does implementation take?
Plan 1-2 weeks for basic address validation API integration, 3-4 weeks for complex workflows involving multiple system connections. Bulk cleansing projects: same-day turnaround for datasets under 500K addresses. Enterprise implementations include dedicated onboarding support.
How does Smarty handle student data and FERPA requirements?
Smarty applies strict data handling practices aligned with FERPA expectations. Student addresses are processed for validation but not stored. Data is encrypted, access-controlled, and never sold or shared. SOC 2 Type II certification includes controls consistent with education data privacy standards.
What kind of support do we get?
Work directly with engineers experienced in large-scale education integrations. Get dedicated onboarding and technical support. No offshore call centers, no chatbots, no tickets that disappear. Real people who understand your SIS, your reporting cycles, and your constraints.
