Challenge

A private school in Austin, Texas, provides innovative education and planned to expand its operations.

Enquiries and applications were tracked in spreadsheets and emails, which would not scale with growth:

Manual tracking of enquiries and applications.
Missed follow-ups with prospective families.
No visibility of the admissions funnel.
Planned expansion to new locations.

The client chose Winklix as its Salesforce partner to design and deliver a better way of working.

Solution

Winklix delivered a Salesforce solution tailored to the private school's processes and goals.

Enquiry capture

Website enquiries flow directly into Salesforce.

Admissions pipeline

Applications move through defined stages with tasks and reminders.

Family relationships

Households, students and guardians are linked in one record.

Reporting

Admissions dashboards support planning for expansion.

Private School solution delivered by Winklix

The Approach

Discovery workshops — We documented current processes, data and pain points with the client's sales and operations teams.
Configure before customising — Standard Salesforce features were used wherever possible, with custom code only where it added clear value.
Iterative delivery — Work was delivered in short sprints with regular demos so the team could give feedback early.
Training and handover — Admins and users were trained, and documentation was handed over for long-term ownership.

Outcome

The engagement delivered clear, practical results for the client:

A structured, scalable admissions process.
Timely follow-up with every family.
Clear visibility of the admissions funnel.
A CRM ready for new locations.
