Horry County Chooses InfoSnap for Cloud-Based Student Registration

Horry County School District in Conway, SC, has chosen InfoSnap’s cloud-based registration management solution to help streamline the student registration process. Previously, the district of 51 schools and 40,000 students had been using a different method every year for collecting student data and payments for school-related activities.

The district wanted to reduce the cost of distributing information packets to families. According to Missy Johnson, the technology systems coordinator for Horry County, “Since the implementation of our InfoSnap solution, our reports show that it saves us an average of $14,000 a year in postage alone.”

The district is also using InfoSnap Payment Management Services to collect fees for yearbooks, parking passes, athletics, PTO, ROTC, T-shirts, agendas, after-school care and donations.

Johnson added that InfoSnap has helped to simplify state reporting for the district. “We can now look in our system and within minutes have the data we need for state reporting instead of going through thousands of sheets of paper,” she said.
