Skyward Bid Management
Bid Management is a great tool for making sure your expenses stay within your school’s budget and to simplify your district’s entire bidding process.
Track all bids and store estimated needs, vendor responses and estimates in one central location.
Create estimates for your product needs.
Use estimates for reports and budget proposals to compare vendors.
Setting up category codes in Skyward for all my accounts and running a report by category code for the code 07 state budget report has saved me so much time! I really like all the features of Skyward that make my job easier and help me be more efficient.

The previous person in my position kept to the basics with bookkeeping. With Skyward, I am able to do two sided journal entries, more detailed reporting, merge vendors and eliminate a ton of paper reports. I am continuously learning and I enjoy all the benefits that Skyward has to offer. I am looking forward to learning the web-based system of the Student Management Suite so I can work more from home.

Skyward has made accounts payable invoice entry much faster. With entering the purchase orders online the accounting information is entered as part of the process. When I get an invoice all I have to do is enter in the purchase order number and all of the information that was included automatically imports into the invoice so all of the hand entering can be done much faster.

We have been using Fee Management for tracking charges and payments in our Community Education Childcare Centers for several years now. The program works very well, is easy to use after some basic training and provides our department with a valuable tool. We use Crystal Reports to generate weekly reports for payments, weekly attendance and sign-in/sign-out sheets. At the end of the calendar year, we are able to generate tax statements for parents in minutes.

When going through the selection process we continually heard about the great support Skyward provides, and they were right. The Skyward team has been great to work with as we continue to streamline our processes and better utilize the features of their student information system. Skyward is a good product that continues to get better.

I love my Skyward! We changed from CIMS three years ago and what a difference! The possibilities are endless when it comes to pulling student data. Keep the updates coming!
