Why schools switch

What Accessit users tell us

These are the reasons schools contact us. We hear them every week.

🪟
The Accessit problem

Simple tasks need multiple pop-ups and windows

The SmartSuite difference

SmartSuite was built from the ground up as a modern web app. Cataloguing kits, creating class loans, processing returns — all in one clean, single-window interface. No cascading pop-ups. No legacy desktop behaviour in a browser wrapper.

📊
The Accessit problem

Reporting is difficult and time-consuming

The SmartSuite difference

SmartSuite includes pre-built reports for the most common needs — and if something's missing, you create it yourself in minutes. No IT ticket. No waiting. Just the data you need, when you need it.

The SmartSuite difference

FSI is Australian-owned and has served Australian school libraries for over 40 years. Your data is hosted in Australia. Your support team is in Australia. We're not going anywhere.

01
Your dedicated onboarding specialist

From the moment you decide to switch, you have a named FSI team member managing your migration. One contact. One relationship. Your specialist knows your school's situation and sees the migration through to go-live.

02
Track every step on your dashboard

FSI provides every new school with an online onboarding dashboard — a real-time view of every step in the process. You always know what has been done, what is in progress, and what comes next.

03
All we need is your data

Your welcome document specifies exactly what data we need and in what format. Provide that, and FSI does the rest — conversion, configuration, testing, and go-live. Most schools are up and running within days.

04
A lifetime data conversion guarantee

FSI guarantees your conversion — unconditionally. If any issue with the converted data surfaces at any point during the life of your subscription, FSI will re-convert at no cost. No fine print. That's confidence in our work.
