Already used by 1,400 schools and trusts, SAMpeople is the leading HR system for MATs today. Designed by HR experts with deep experience in education, SAMpeople includes everything you need to manage your staff effectively – from Staff Profiles to absence management, contracts to HR casework, an employee portal, and much more. You can even add on a recruitment module to complete the full HR journey from application to onboarding.

Schools and trusts deserve best-in-class systems that integrate effortlessly, and this partnership will finally unlock the ability for schools and MATs to see their applicant, staff and student data in one place. Trusts can now seamlessly onboard new hires, track absences and manage cover with one end-to-end workflow, removing any unnecessary admin and friction that gets in the way of teaching and learning.

For Arbor customers, you can be confident your staff data is kept in sync, and your analytics are both accurate and visible in both systems. Our integration with SAMpeople means your staff can enter and update HR data in just one place, and it will automatically flow into Arbor. With your MIS and HRIS synced, you’re another step closer to streamlined and centralised processes in your trust.

We know that going fully cashless is a priority for many schools, and that a cashless catering system is a core part of that transition. For any school, but particularly for Secondaries, cashless catering is an essential part of improving the student experience and becoming a modern and efficient school.

We wanted to make the cashless catering process even better for staff, students and parents, which is why we now integrate with CRB Cunninghams Cashless Catering, Civica Cashless Catering, Live Register, Pebble Till and Pebble Trac.

Streamline your payments systems

Arbor’s integrations mean you’ll no longer need an additional payments system on top of your cashless catering provider. By connecting Arbor directly with your cashless catering provider, we’ve removed the need to login to multiple systems and accounts, saving you time and money. Instead, the integration means that all your payments information can be managed directly in your Arbor MIS.

Full visibility for staff and parents

It’s important for both staff and parents to be able to access payments information easily and in one central location. The integration means that meal selection and payment information automatically syncs between Arbor and your catering provider, giving parents and staff full visibility over a child’s meal activity. Parents can also top up their child’s account directly in the Arbor Parent Portal or Arbor Parent App, making the Parent Portal a single point of access for guardians for all information on their child.

Harness your data through cashless catering

Having a cashless catering system is great, but it’s even more powerful when you can combine its insights with the data already in your MIS. By using Arbor’s built-in reporting tools, you can analyse meal preferences and spending patterns, or report on the success of health initiatives in a specific group of students. By having all payments information in one place, you get a comprehensive view of parent and student spending across all school activities.
